Yet another site layout idea. I personally really like this one. :D Only thing is that I would like some help on what color I could use for the font and an idea for a footer. _smile.gif


Any tips or suggstions? C&C would be nice too. biggrin.gif



edit:
P.S. - I know there is a big gap in for the bottom margin but the content area size will change depending on how much content there is and stuff.

I like the colors just not the font. You should try something more fancy. Especially for your site name

ehh, I need to keep a web safe font though since you know some computers might not have the font installed on their computers and all that shiz.

font is extremely annoying to read, the background it's on isn't dark enough for the white font in my opinion. i think the text area is way too wide too, it needs more space on both sides of the text. the navigation is weird to me too, it feels like it extends past the edge of the layout on the right or something. i don't think it actually does, but i think the navigation should be smaller so it looks like it stops before the edge.

I like it a lot but then I feel like your background gets in the way of the words in your table. Bring up the table's opacity. But the background came out pretty good.

AHAHAHAHA Exactly what I was thinking.




But Mike. You're doing it again. You've found ONE THING and you're just doing that ONE THING.


You need to start experimenting with IMAGES, fool. Quit this text business for a bit and learn some graphic techniques to incorporate IN your sites.

I love the background, but the text is extremely hard to read on top of it. Try using a different color font or upping the opacity of the table. Also, nav looks a bit plain, maybe do something to it? Keep a balance between text and images (;

What are you doing with all these layouts? You keep coming out with new ones and the other ones just kinda...disappear. _unsure.gif

The texture on the background is a bit too much on full screen. I feel like whatever you used to make it grungey should have been resized before you put it over the image. Other than that I think it looks good. I really like grungey maroon stripes for some reason...they give a circus-ish vibe.

For the font colour I would do a black and white gradient going from left to right.
Black on the left and white on the right.

Thats just imo.
:D

Sweet lord you make a lot of new layouts for your site.
I cant read half the stuff. The mike part in mikeplyts is unreadable. And I dont like the nav, and how are supposed to make it transparent when you actually do it?

Idk, I keep some making new layouts and then after looking back at them some, they just start to look too simple and uncreative. :\ I just want something good and creative to stick to, nawmean? Ok, I'll go ahead and see if I can edit it some.


@Kristina: Well, do you mean images like of people and stuff? I was working on a layout where I took an image and made it into a silohuette but it didn't turn out so well. What about if I use an image like of a mountian or whatever, haha. :P

@Joseph: The awesome jQuery library, good sir. wink.gif

K, dude, you seriously don't even know what dry humor is.




Mike, what i'm talking about is that you need to branch out! Learn something new to incorporate with your coding. Seriously. You've got CODING DOWN. Learn some stuff about images. Learn how to edit and learn to incorporate those with your layouts. Background images, such as this one, do not count for what i'm talking about. Hell, learn to make even more dynamic websites. It's just the square thang. Research on some design blogs and learn some new skillz.






I'm not trying to be a bitch. =/ There's just soooo much more you can do and learnnnnnn.
