doddsey_65 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 I just started this today, but it's a portfolio that I am trying to build up over time. I would like crits on the general layout and graphical design. It's only the home page at the minute. Also crits on home page content would be nice. Thanks. http://www.portfolio.asimpleforum.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will35010 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 It's a nice design. Personally I think blue would stand out better for your text and buttons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WebStyles Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 hmmm... To be honest, I really don't like a lot of things there... Logo is too big (CJM means nothing to visitors, and shouldn't be so distractive, even if your goal is for them to remember the logo... when they get home at the end of the day, they'll remember CJM but still not know what it stands for, and it won't even help them find the site again, since a search for CJM returns too many other results), Top buttons are too big... then the italics don't seems to make sense... when you do this: Web design and Development you're giving the word 'Web' the same importance as the word 'and'... just feels wrong. The background image looks like a rip-off of the original Mac OS desktop backgrounds converted to black and white (and also lacks quality) Almost all the text is too big... (I'm on a screen that has 2560x1440 resolution and it still looks too big, on a laptop it must look huge) The text explaining the project details disappears under the limit line (gets cut off) - I'm using Firefox on a Macintosh... I would go for a 'cleaner', easier to read, more objective design... also, everything is too dark... Ever noticed how all the big sites (facebook, google, youtube, gmail, microsoft, etc... always use white as background, and simple small black text? and most of them adopt blue as their main color? There's a reason for that. Blue is the color that puts the less strain on your eyes, simplicity directs attention to where it's needed, etc...)
