Silver Curve Records, Client Rating Options

[digitalfragrance]

So, I'm doing a myspace profile for a new record label - Silver Curve Records. To give you guys a frame of reference, Amber Lee Ettinger, aka "Obama Girl," is on this label. I got contracted by Nadia Kay, and I'd like to get some designer's opinions.

It's currently in-progress.

Nadia wanted it to look like http://myspace.com/myspacerecords

Comments? Critique? I'd love to improve on this... It's going to make a great portfolio piece.

I'm impressed. I can't really find anything to critique, everything is balanced well. I feel there's a certain level of unity that the elements of any page needs to have, and I think you hit it pretty much spot-on. Thumbs up, I really like it.

Hm... I think I would try to incorporate the label's logo in the banner. Maybe use it in place of the "C" in "CURVE"? That would be interesting. Other than that, I really like it.

Thanks guys!

If my client likes idea, I will do that as soon as I get the .eps file. I just pulled the .jpeg off of their site for the animation

looks pretty good images took a while to load... and i was able to see the profile pic. maybe hiding it or just the image so its not a major distraction when other people visit the page?

bright pink among all the gray.

That's one of the best layouts i have seen. I love the colors and the texture of it. Awesome job Rachael

What browser/res are you using? I cross-checked almost every option and I didn't see the profile pic.

The only thin that I would suggest would be to extend the "About Us" section so that people won't have to scroll to see all of the information. I don't know if that was just a matter of preference or if they are set into the layers they are using, but it's simply a meticulous detail that I think would add to your design. Other than that though, fantastic look! I'm sure your client will be very happy with the final outcome. :)

Your version looks so much better. I didn't look to closely at the layout the biggest thing that stood out was the images take way to long to load up. Perhaps save them for the web maybe it will help slightly.

After look back over it, I don't see anything else that would be your problem...hmm perhaps just find more content and fill it up more so we can see how the final product would look.

I love this!
One thing, though, the background it a little off.
It looks like this for me:

The first thing I noticed was that the myspace you used as reference for the certain style you wanted never even loaded. I left the page alone, and after about an hour, there were still like 1 or 2 images still loading...

Yours loaded like instantly.

on the second visit to each site, they were both loaded instantly. I'm sure if I delete temporary files, the myspacerecords will take another hour to load again.
