jcombs_31 Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 I guess I had too much time on my hands and felt like playing with photoshop and working on my design skills. Pretty much the first site I ever made was http://www.bfa.edu The site is still listed in my portfolio, but all content is generated through a CMS I made for them to update. Anyway, here is the design I was playing with. http://multimedia-technologies.com/clientsites/bfa/ what is your opinion? I tried to theme it with the diamond plate, metal look...

igor berger Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 I like the first Website very much. I like the version two even better! But you need to do somethibg about wrong id enteries, they give you an MySql error. http://www.bfa.edu/classes.php?id=57trythis Maybe a nice clean error page, in the same template, to tell the user file not found and a link to top page to try again.

jcombs_31 Posted May 7, 2007 Author Share Posted May 7, 2007 I haven't even looked through the site in forever, I probably coded it poorly. I'll check into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkBait Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 I definitely like the 2nd one. Reminds me of a firetruck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmgmyr Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 very nice, I like it a lot. Just a new small things: - On your main nav (bubbles) on the hover I would make the text darker not lighter and I would make the red bullet a little brighter. - maybe a little more padding on the body text and in the right hand boxes. looks great though!

igor berger Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Wow you are really quick! I hope you do not drive your fire engine so fast. It would get very dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ober Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Jeff.... might want to take a peek in Opera at the new version. The contact page "name" entry is shifted to the right. The ability tests page has the content down after the items on the columns to the left and right. Other than that, it's pretty sharp looking.

roopurt18 Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 I received one of my favorite compliments back in college while working on a group project where I was doing the blunt of the programming. The three of us were looking at the monitor, I was typing and explaining what I was doing and one of my partners said, "Wow, I want to program like you when I grow up!" I hope that when I grow up I learn to design like you jcombs, you truly have a knack for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igor berger Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 I thought you said you are blind? Or, you only blind when you are looking at my Website! Maybe I should just shoot the freaking thing, and go get a job as a programmer! I am good at looking at beautiful things but not designing them.

jcombs_31 Posted May 10, 2007 Author Share Posted May 10, 2007 Thanks for the feedback guys. Roopurt, thanks for the compliment Ober, i can't figure out why opera doesn't want to fit my table in on the abilities page. Igor, thank for keeping things on topic.

ober Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Probably a clearing issue. I've had the same type of issues in the past... and not only limited to Opera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
