Well, here's another idea for a site layout I want to make so that I can change it in about a month or so. I'll probally code it tomorrow to give you guys an idea of how it would look live but for now, I'm just looking for some C&C on the design. I think a few things that bother me is the text and the orange of the glow but unfortunately, I can't really edit the glow unless I start the whole thing over again so yeah...
Thanks.  UPDATE: (Ok, made it a bit darker and I changed the actual vector. Tried a few gradients to color the glow and change the sub-title text size. Lowered the opacities for both texts and adjusted the outer glow.) UPDATE #2: (Just added the side-bar to let you guys know how it will look like.) |

QUOTE(A1Bassline @ Apr 25 2009, 12:05 PM)  Since you really can't change the glow, is there a way to lower the opacity? It seems too bright to me. I'm not really sure abut the purple in the background. It seems kind of random to me.  But nice idea.  No, I meant I can't edit the glow, in any way, because I flattened that glow layer and the background layer so yeah...that was my bad. It wasn't really supposed to be a purple, more of a pink-ish red but ehh...Thanks though.

I'm a sucker for things that remind me of space, so I love this. From the little thumbnail I thought the color combo was interesting, but when I went to full size I wasn't as crazy about it. Maybe you could edit it by adding a layer above it and setting a color bubble to color? I think the purpley color would look perfect there.

It's the read I am not crazy about, and maybe make the sub header a little smaller. Other than that though, I like it.

Hmm maybe try Rockwell instead of your current font (if you have it, or try Sketch Rockwell http://www.urbanfonts.com/fonts/Sketch_Rockwell.htm). What I'm trying to say is, for my personal tastes, the font would look better less condensed :P
Also, for the second heading have you tried any other font formats that compliments your site title? |

Ok. It's going to be left aligned but I'm going to add a second little column to the right side. |

Ooh I love the colors in the first one but like the swirls better in the second one. Very nice.

Yeah, I'm working on the slices right now and setting up a navigation. I have yet to design the side column but it's all good.  QUOTE(manny-the-dino @ Apr 26 2009, 01:15 AM) Ooh I love the colors in the first one but like the swirls better in the second one. Very nice. Thanks Nat! I personally didn't really like the colors in the first one because they just seemed a bit too bright for me once I took a good look at it. I really hated that bright orange glow, yuck. lol.  |

Ok, I added the side bar to the design to let you guys know how it would look like.
As far as coding it goes, I've already positioned the slices and now I'm working on positioning the different sections. :)

^I agree "/ Add your own style to it.
I like your edit but it blends in too much with the background. |
