I've looked at it a couple of times and there are some things that keep nagging at me. General feeling is that it feels like it's put together from different parts created one by one without any real thought of how they should go together. Like one day you did the header which in itself turned out pretty ok. The next week you where fiddling with the menu as a separate thing. Another week you did some abstract images that was cool. A month later you put it all together on a page and added content. While all parts by themselves are ok, together they lack a "red thread" to keep them together. The header has blocky text and waves, the waves does not return in any other place, perhaps pick that up in a theme of abstract graphics that has more witespace in them, makes them a bit less in your face. The flow from the wave thing can be picked up in the menu as well if you like. The base of my line of thought is "What is grouped together belongs together" and "What looks similar belongs together" These two things are something your brain does automatically, It looks for patterns, color, placement, shape/form in order to create order from what it sees. Work along these lines to make the elements of the page work together instead of acting as freestanding elements. Easily said, harder to do, I know, but it's a good thing to remember. Then, what's the focus of the page? As it is now it's on the graphic, especially this specific time when it loaded something that was 2/3 solid black & the rest divided between greenish and blue. It's right smack dab in the middle! And right now, sorry but it doesn't deserve that ;) Either work for a theme for them that fits with the overall thought or move them in order to place focus on the content. Keep working on it, that's the only way to learn! :) /Dan [url=http://www.dmsproject.com/] [img]http://www.dmsproject.com/gif/newSiggie.gif[/img] [/url] [url=http://faq.ozoneasylum.com/FaqWiki/shownode.php?sortby=rating&id=260]{cell 260}[/url] [url=http://www.dmsproject.com/blog/]{Blog}[/url] -{ ?Computer games don?t affect kids; I mean if Pac-Man affected us as kids, we?d all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music.?
