A little tweak? Options

[synatribe]

Okay, so some people might remember my design of http://fashionlara.com . They recently asked me to go with a grayscale scheme after seeing my myspace profile, so I sort of tweaked it :] Tell me if you like it?

previous design http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?...mageID=14218941

this is the updated

http://fashionlara.com

took advice on background and the colors and some of the font

P.S Um, Im not sure if this should merge with my previous topic, but if it had to, then Im sorry in advance :]

All the product pages are an image.

They just have different background colors. Here is what I mean
these are the headers

i think a lot of stuff feels off center or not level.


i think the name should be sitting down lower on this line.





also i think the whole navigation feels weird and not neat. for example about and functional have way more space on the left of the word than the right. all that stuff is off center.

other words that are in boxes are off center. look at "solo mayoreo" it's almost touching that line on the right hand side of the box it's in. i think the font in all those boxes needs to come down a little so it's not so smashed in looking.

Yeah, I agree with JC. Also, I don't really like how you included those different colors on the different product pages and it's pretty weird since they don't match at all with the headers on the about us page. I think some kind of rollover effect would be neat. It's pretty good, but it's just too cramped.

Everything JC pointed out.

As well as what Mike is saying about the headers on the product pages. They don't have to be images, you can have text, with a background, in a div. And it'll look the exact same way. If you're worried that the font that you choose for the headers isn't websafe.. well you shouldn't be designing with non websafe fonts. That's a bad practice. You're using a serif/times font for the logo, and some of the graphics, and a sans-serif arial/helvetica font for the rest of the fonts on the page. You should really outline your fonts in the CSS not using photoshop to make graphics to mimick the fonts for the site.

The navigation can be easily cleaned up the same way. Make a list with 5 items, and edit the ul id in the css for the li items, you can make them have outlines and margins so nothing looks cluttered in respects to the other things on the page.

The secure website notification is way too big.

It looks a lot better. I know the clients asked to use that color but I never liked that puke green you used. I agree with JC that you need to center the logo and navigation. I also agree with Mike about the headers. Other than that, it looks nice and clean.

1. Definitely center the navigation links within their own boxes.
2. Also, the "Log in" link and the "(Empty)" text in the upper right corner nav are lower than the rest of the text on that line, making it look off.
3. Just a minor thing, the link on your navigation says "Misses" while the actual header for that page says "Missy". Might want to make that match.
4. The header text is a bit big and overpowers the logo too much, esp with the bright background. Maybe shrink the font a little bit?

Looks pretty good overall. I like the fonts you chose and the clean look you have. Keep it up (:

looks so good to me! bravo!
