Well I am in the process of changing my site. I'm going to concentrate more on blogging, and of course have an area to advertise my services/work. Can I get some constructive criticism on the new look I came up with. This is just the image representation as I have no cut into a site yet.

I wanted some suggestions, hints, etc before doing that. Thanks smile.gif

P.S: I got a feeling this is the wrong forum but I posted here since it is just the graphics I'm talking about now smile.gif

Ok, I'm no genius in graphic design....I'll leave that to you an B9, but I think that it looks great.

Pretty sweet! and yep let B9 talk to you.

You asked for constructive criticism:

Not sure if i like the screws, i am not keen on them but it would look quite blank in the corners, unless you made your banner like 10 - 15 px smaller.

I like the choice of colours, the purple/violet is very nice indeed.

Just looked at the design again and decided i do like the screws but the top screws may need tidying up slightly e.g. the white stroke bit.

But this is just my opinion.

Again very nice design Psycho

Looks good!

But I have to agree with the screws comment... they look a little out of place... but the corners would be very empty if you removed them.... maybe give the background a metal feel... metal and rivets...... and I think the purple would look great over a dark silver... just my opinion though biggrin.gif

But overall, I think it looks fantastic!

I like the color scheme, I agree with B9, you should give it more of a metallic feel.

Looks good, now make it come to life.

Not bad, the screws look out of place, I would take them out completely to simplify the design.

The layout is complex for a blog but it looks decent, I might make the header text a little cleaner. I really dig the buttons, including the little RSS one, awesome.
