Tell me what you guys think, [u]constructive[/u] critisim is expected. I really appreciate any advise that would make the site look better.[/quote] [u]constructive[/u]... maybe, if I'm in a happy happy joy joy kind of mood... make the site look better?... Pressing the power button on your monitor could do wonders... :P Heh, just kidding. But if you ever expect to hack it in a design related industry, you should know that everything you do will be slammed by some, if not many people, peers and clients at some point in time. It's simply part of the game and there's no two ways about it. Now, onto the site... If you can find the review I gave you last time you posted your website, go re-read it, cause I'm honstly not seeing much improvement here. It certainly looks different, for better of for worse it's much for muchness from where I'm standing. You still have arrows pointing to, um, nothing. Seriously, think about it - an arrow is, by design, a shape that leads the eye to a particular point. An arrow is a clever combination of point, line and or space. They're a classic example of design theory used globally with good effect, except here. Yours lead me off the edge of your website, and anyone with formal graphic design training will most likely spot that questionable use of the symbol a mile away. In less polite terms... ...it's amateurish, nix the arrows or make em usefull, the symbol it too powerfull to be used liberially. The general inconsistency of whitespace isn't doing you any favors either (margins, paddings etc.). Although what's troubling me more are the dashed lines, 1px thick borders, doted text, scan lines and criss-cross background all mixing in to create some rather textually confusing messages. Simply put, there's too much detail and it's creating a flood of conflicting visual stimuli. Put into laymen terms... ...less is more. my 0.2 Loading...
