Quick Layout

[redtom]

This is the first layout I've made in ages for my self, it was really quick apart from the boxes I spent a little bit of time on them there the first sort of 3d icons I've done, I was going to do 3 but didn't have the time.

Any thoughts?

The box images stripes are not aligned with the backgrounds stripes. Other than that, its fit.

Where do you get them sort of backgrounds from?

Hmm. i don't like it. Is it a hosting company? Then i really don't like it.

Looks allright. But if it is a hosting layout, you should do something which looks like a hosting layout ;)

I tryed having them with transparent backgrounds but they had a white out line around them because of the effects on them and it looked really bad so I just sliced them quickly with the background, make it look mess I know but I was kinda in a rush at the time.

Found it ages ago, heres (http://www.tehupload.com/uploads/69201db20664ac2wood.jpg) the image if you want it.

I like to make designs for my personal sites unquie (If anyone remembers my image hosting site that layout was very diffrent from the norm) and I felt like a change, I've been asked to design lots of hosting templates over the holidays for clients so I wanted to do something diffrent but at the same time I didn't want to make a template I wouldn't use, the only thing I needed a template for was angel-hosting, and this is what I came up with.

edit: I was going to rep you both but I have to spread

What a bloody good design tom, you're progressing with each design I feel, perhaps you should work on that logo more though :) Well done.

Nicely done, if the stripe/box problem is sorted out - would be fantastic.

Clean, simple, maybe a bit too dark for me.

REPPPAAGGEEE :)

Don't like it too much, It's all over the place - The text that is.

From a viewer's point-of-view, I'd say it just needs a little more structure and neatneess to it.

It's nice but I wouldn't say it suits the hosting business.

Thanks, its no where near my best.

I think I'm going to stop doing layouts for a little bit and try and get better a logos and icons, I pretty much suck at logos atm.

Thanks, I'll try and sort it out.

Any ideas on cleaning it up?

Okay I'll try and add a bit more structure.

Yeah, but like I said I wanted it to be diffrent from the norm.

I'd say have the text in a neat order, like, asthetically, in boxes of whatever, and have tabs, because it's all a bit much on the eye.

Not bad for a quick layout. I think it would need more work though - I'm guessing those white highlights at the top are just a white gradient, try changing it to "soft light" or "overlay" if you use PS. It's looking a bit bare, try adding a few images to make it more snazzy.

Your design/coding isn't friendly on screen sizes. A default 1024 x 768 screen size messes up the packages nav. Try adding a fixed width to your div to stop the div collapsing. To test a smaller screen type "javascript:setSize(1024,768)" in your browser.

Overall, it's good for a quick job.
