I felt the need to get my touch back at photoshopping and some layout stuff so i decided to just make something simple. However now i don't know what else to add. It seems too boring. If i cant figure out what else to add i'll probably scrap it.



P.S im too tired to think for myself atm

Try instead of having straight black lines for the context area make it have a swirly hand-drawn feeling. (if that makes sense)

The yellow text on the bottom is kinda hard to read.

It's a cute idea but tbh I think you should start over. The image quality is low in the image of the tower and I'm not sure about the font or font colors. :/

The only yellow text I can read is the "The" .. but only because I know it's supposed to say "the." The other word looks like "cryogen" or something.. which isn't even a word.

It's definitely not legible.

I really like the font choice.

I think the solid black lines are strange.. they don't match. something like what Iwontrape you said would be better.

Tried hand drawing it...I dont have a steady hand at all.

Eh...thought so. I had it set for 1027x768 as the typical size...but i made it the whole thing so instead of just starting over i tried just resizing it. Also the image is a brush.
I had other ideas for it in my head but i was too lazy to find fonts for it and...yeah

im too tired sad.gif

yeah its harder to read because i decided to resize the whole thing in my lazy attempts instead of just taking the time to redo it.

Yea...the hand drawing would give it a nice touch, even if your hand isn't steady the messy look would go well with the layout.

not very fond of the font colors though...

I was originally thinking of possibly a handwriting bubble text? but 1. i didnt know if many would approve of it and 2. i was to lazy to search for one.

I have this great idea in my head for it...too i cant just print it out and show you it.

I like the concept but tbh, it looks a bit too plain. I don't really like where the text is placed and the font itself. The font colors also contrast a lot with the black and white background so maybe change the colors to one shade of gray or something. If you don't want all gray, try also adding some swirls or something around the image. You can also do more with the content area as well. The content area seems very basic and plain. Try adding like a background color that fades into the background and maybe add rounded borders. You should also think about where the navigation should go and you may have to move the image around some. I'm not really sure what else you should add but otherwise, it's alright. thumbsup.gif
