This should be in the showcase booth!!
But um...what is this? Like how are you going to place everything and such? This is too messy and the font doesn't match with the whole thing. |

Moved to Showcase Booth
I like that Pollock was your inspiration but I'm not feeling the contrast between the black & bright colors; you should stick with either black or bright colors, you know? The font's alright, imo. |

I'm going to try a brownish color for the text, then maybe if it's good, go from there
EDIT: Here it is in a brownish, i also lowered the stroke on the name text, i'm not sure if i like that or not, i'm gonna try doing a bright colored text now Ok, I like the bright colors in this one, i'm just not sure bout the difference in the stroke size DAEDIT: Ok, i think the blue looks the best of them all, so i guess i'll try to redesign the boxes now Here's the blue: |

Hmm, i'll have to go take a look at that background and maybe make some changes if it's too close to it. I'm trying to make the tables now, and i making them blue, i'll do the opacity thing, and when i'm done i'll update it
EDIT: whadda you think bout this? Ok, i went with that one, here's what i have now: |

^Not the blue!! I think the content area should be white with a low opacity or at least the lighter blue is better.

I agree with Ariel. You need to make sure your colors match.

I too agree with Ariel. Oh, and maybe instead of having 'gradient' headers, try some headers that have like some paint dripping from it or something. Idk, just an idea.

If you use a background like that its really not going to look good up against a plain background unless you have you make a seamless bg image to match all the sides. And you can't just have it one huge image like that because then the download time would be to long.
Also only use like 2 different font types, max. And I would pick different fonts altogether there is just something about those three that don't look all that great. |

That's what slices are for, and i'm actually almost done with it, but i don't have access the files right now sadly, they are on my laptop, and i don't have it now, but they are in a safe place |

Hold on are you both the same person? If so you don't need to have multiple accounts.
still the blue and orange are ugly, the more I look at it the worst it gets. |

Noooooo, We are partners, we are both part of NxtSatClothing, I'm the designer, and Shakeene does all the business aspects, and if you have any ideas for colors other than orange let me know, and i'll change it when i have acess to the files, thanks! |
