I actually don't think the font is too bad. I'm not that great with fonts either, but I would try Sansation or any of these techno fonts.

I would also change the header font. It's a little blah. If you want to stick to arial (or whatever it is you're using), I would set it to uppercase and lower the letter spacing a tad.

Overall, it's MUCH better than you're first version. :)

Hmm.. would those fonts match the rest of the layout?
I changed the header. Does it look better?
Thanks _smile.gif I went with a totally different approach haha.

I think the font choice is poor; it doesn't match the rest of the layout, which is more simple. Sorry I can't recommend a font. It used to take me forever trying to pick a font that best fit a layout and I'd go through my whole list before choosing one. blush.gif

For such a simple banner, it takes up a lot of space. I like minimalism but in this case, its size doesn't flatter the layout.

Can you change the black background to the dark gray you're already using? Also, the navigation on the top left (Shoes>Accessories>Charts) should be the same style as on the right (About/Contact/Cart/etc). Keep it uniform. :)

I don't really remember why I chose such a large size... haha.
I changed the background color, but it sort of looks weird. Maybe if I put a purple border around the banner, it won't look so weird.
Well, they weren't the same style because the ones on the left drop down. But I changed the background color of that navigation to that grey color.

I wouldn't have suggested them if I didn't think they would match. You definately need a sans serif font...maybe not one of the ones I gave you, but I just don't see serif fonts working with the rest of the layout.
