I see a lot of lines in there that don't really serve any purpose. When you start adding lots of lines and boxes to a design ask yourself what it adds and what it could cost the reader. Does it make your design better or clearer? Make sure you have a reason for putting those lines in aside from adding barriers between your content, which is what I see now, lots of barriers that require me to concentrate more than I?d like to in order to traverse the site. The simplest barrier between content is white space. Something I've noticed you seem determined to kill in many of your web designs by filling any and all possible white space with some kind of visual element or running text border to border with very little padding. The "stats" section is actually the first thing I read on your website, because it doesn't look like it's been squashed into a sardine can -- I skimmed over everything else as it looked too difficult to read. Bump up the line spacing, throw in lots of padding (if your text if 12px high, and your line spacing 18-20px high then I'd probably set the padding to around 20px as well). You should also try and unify the distances between each content section, at the moment there is no symmetry in the horizontal gaps between the content boxes and the heading, and again between that and the vertical gap. Another problem I see is the background. Don't get me wrong, I like it but with all of different weights of horizontal lines running through the site, having them run through the tiled circle shapes is creating some visual havoc. Try a background with some visuals that compliment the foreground lines instead of contrasting against them. Although, on a whole I think it's great, as with all of the designs you produce. I just think a little more attention to detail (and whitespace!) and a little more thought put into the design would really help to take things up a notch or two. Loading...
