Preserved Topic: Harnish Studios, v.2.0

Well, here's Harnish Studios version 2.0. What do y'all think?

Question: How do I make the menu look good in 16-bit color? The background of the menu doesn't match the background of the page perfectly.

::: sigh ::: Oh, how I wish everyone used True color!

I like it my man. I have an absolute dislike for default browser fonts though. Nice colors (the Autumn hue color range seems to be all the rage the past few weeks) but I don't really get the sphere type things on the top left of the page.

Good work in my opinion.

Is there any way you can get that little "Think Host" picture out of there, or maybe down to the bottom of the page where it's less intrusive?

Otherwise, I like the site. Here's my solution to the background color problem:

make a 20 x 20 gif image that is just the one solid color that you want for the background. Then, in addition to using the bgcolor="" attribute, use background="mygifbg.gif". That should solve the problem.

Not bad, but the anti-aliasing on the images could use some work, especially on the left. I would also like to see some mouseovers on the menu.

Hehe, I like that.. dunno why.

A couple of you images on the front have a little bit of the jaggies, like the logo.
I like the color scheme though.

I have to say, although your portfolio looks pretty good, I don't care for this design at all. The shapes are gaudy and garish and kind of...discombobulated. I also don't quite get the "sphere" things.

The colors in and of themselves are nice, but they don't all work together all that well, kind of dull and "puky" looking.

The space of the overall design seems somewhat oddly broken up too...too much space for somethings, not enough for others.


Don't mean to be harsh....just honest. It looks like you can do much better than that <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/biggrin.gif">

Thanks for the comments and criticisms, everyone. Yeah...the colors are kind of pale and don't look quite right together.

I'll make some adjustments to the colors and if that doesn't fix it, I'll come up with a new design altogether. Maybe a more designer corporate style. <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/smile.gif">
