[Mr-Trainor]

Looks quite nice :)

[Protege]

Thanks

[dogboy123]

Nice :)

I like the colours, however i dont like the background :)

[Protege]

What about the background, the pattern or colour?

[dogboy123]

The pattern

[Protege]

Ahh what you suggest? No pattern or a different one?

[Excellent2]

Looks nice but I hate the font on the banner.

[Protege]

That can always be changed :P

[dogboy123]

I think a new pattern would suit it, maybe a more simple one :)

[Meti]

Looks nice.
I think it'd look better if you lined the logo with the box below.

Example:
LOGO
BOX

Not:
LOGO
.....Box

[Protege]

GFX draw up please.

[kk.]

quite nice.

improvements could be made in the nav and BG. get rid of the vertical stripes and put the other one behind the green block. doesnt look right with it on top

[Fehm]

i really like it :) Like loads, i think it all fits perfectly, Thanks for showing us and goodluck!

[Protege]

I completely disagree with what people are saying about the background, its the only good thing about the design. The second two designs are nothing compared to the first. I dislike this type of design as its half-hearted. It has the potential to be great but "the banner looks good, i wont put the effort into the rest". If your going to make a simple website, keep it simple. Is this a wip? If so try removing the green lump in the middle and replacing with a black content area and fill it. If you disaprove of this idea i would love to see the design for the sub pages.

Not all sites have to have a clear content area craigg, but maybe I am being bias against your suggestions due to me disliking nearly every design you have ever made.

It does look very WIPy, looks like there are no real margins etc and the green maybe a bit too bright.

[craigg.]

Indeed source. clear content areas are exactly that, clear. the design just looks half hearted, confused if you will. Its graphical yet trying to be clean which i find looks wrong. About your opinion on not liking any of my designs is your personal preference and has no relevance.

edit: Just noticed that the title says [WIP], what a fool.

well ,its a portfolio, what do u expect.. useless information which isnt needed?

[Protege]

I wasnt planning on having anything on that page accept a banner and bullet points of the skill set I have.

Craig, seriously you need to get rid of your attitude cause I read that first post I didnt know whether to start crying or to give you a nice flame back.

I just checked your recent posts, your website and you're telling me my designs are _****_, Yeah they probably are but I rather have someone who can design something better than these

and this even, genertic OS commerce crap

Dont get on the wrong side of me man, I'm not a good designer, I asked for criticism not a right out heartless comment.

Edited by ReviewDude (Forum Moderator): Please do not post to deliberately provoke arguments.

[craigg.]

It wasnt heartless, i have respect for every webdesigner. I may have worded it negitavely and im suprised you are taking the wrong side of what im saying when i am praising your first design. yet again my designs are completely irrelevant and those two never published because they were ****. i asked a number of people about that design and they all disliked so i stopped and re-done a red theme. James, I'm not sure if you have ever designed around a commerce piece of software before but it limits what you can do. the red theme is much better than the other three previous designs for xcase. @kk. i wouldnt suggest filling it with lorem ipsum, it would be relative to james such as recent work and maybe a blog or some sort of feed. designers/developers alike have a creativity to do new things and its this portfolio piece is to james' taste not mine i was simply suggesting an idea for another wip.

[MrPinkPanther]

You guys seriously need to chill out and take feedback on board, however negative. Everyone has their own opinion on things and craig was just expressing his.

As a matter of fact I agree with him, I would be more intrested in a designer if I knew a little about him. Nothing big, just a paragraph or so about how long hes been designing, the kind of work he does etc. It all just makes the client feel more comfortable with the designer.

[Protege]

Didnt check the navigation "About", yet Im not a designer... im a programmer.
