Just wondered if these little changes (font colour on bars and colour and font of "CONTACT ME") add to the layout or make it worse:

ORIGIONAL - WITHOUT CHANGES:


NEW - SLIGHT CHANGES (content goes in same place-it's just not marked out yet):

In my opinion, it looks a lot better before the changes. :) The pink of the font doesn't match with the rest, and the font for the contact me doesn't match either. It looks much better simplistic, like in the first one.

What pink font? _unsure.gif
The contact font looks good to me, but for the headers it looks kinda bright.


I was referring the red for the text of the layout, like when you write stuff, and the color is red. lol, but nice imo.

If that was submitted I really wouldn't accept it. There isn't a lot of editing done to the pictures, merely just blending them and smoothing the edges a bit. The font is too default, wrong color, and doesn't quite match with the theme of what I think you're attempting to go for. Also, the navigation just irks me. It seems in the wrong place. Also the font for the navigation is just...default.

So, my recommendations is to play with the pictures more. Have fun with some coloring, some brushes, and some textures. Experiment. See what looks good and what doesn't. Once you have a pretty decent edited picture, then go and plot out your layout.


Sorry for being harsh, but...constructive criticism can go a long way. _smile.gif

Try textures first.

Brushes tend to get overused too soon, so save the brushes for last.




The fonts are still too default.
