New layout, opinions?

[.Zi]

This is one of my first Habbo Layouts, I'm not the best of designers, I'm probs the worst, but I thought I'd hear what you guys had to say, how could I Improve it, is it worth selling? I was told the connectors arnt very good, what could I use to replace those?? +rep for all help given! Please don't flame.

How could I improve it?

Really not nice. Why the hell did you choose bright yellow? It's also far too small.

Name another colour then, I couldnt think of any different colours.

Blue, orange, green, purple... They are but a few to name, firstly, your font in the thread actually put me off and I instantly saw fail. Then I clicked the spoiler - I might be sueing you due to the fact I could be partially blind (oh, I already am, fail). It's just.. horrible. Go look at other designs.

I've seen other designs, I was trying to make something unique, I cut some of it down, recoloured it and added a b/g.

Please inform me, whether you can picture that on a real site. If you can.. well let's just say your designing career is pretty shambled at this moment.

Whats so funny about that? please don't go offtopic

[Lucas0123]

Tis called humour...

I didnt comment on the layout so here goes..

First of all it doesnt appeal to me looks like a few minutes paint job, If you took the banner away it wouldnt scream habbo at me atall. To improve i would look at some other sites that you know and see how they make theirs appeal, maybe you should add some comment and text as its currently very plain.

[Skajo]

It's appalling.

Why don't you all shut the hell up and give him what he's asking for, advice on how to improve.

Right, well, the first layout, I'd give a 1/10, the reworked one was definitely better, around 3/10. I'm not sure what you're going to have skinny enough to fit in those left tabs, so I's suggest actually placing them on top but horizontal rather than vertical. Also, I'd probably ditch the connectors and leave them detached by about 3/4 pixels or connect them like tabs.

Oh, and also, ad some Lorem Ipsum into it where you would have text on the site, it make it look fuller and more complete.

+REP for actually doing what I asked! Ill do those now, and the left tabs were ment to be for the navigation, should I move it?

[Nick.]

Yes, vertical text is very annoying unless used properly and is only really acceptable in a logo under rare circumstances.

Thank you, how can I improve it then?

Here we go:
A)
so I's suggest actually placing them on top but horizontal rather than vertical. Also, I'd probably ditch the connectors and leave them detached by about 3/4 pixels or connect them like tabs.

Oh, and also, ad some Lorem Ipsum into it where you would have text on the site, it make it look fuller and more complete.

B) Change the colour, use gradients (check our Britz's - unsure on spelling - design for some.. inspiration).

C) Check out http://www.hffm.co.uk/web/, for example. It uses lots of colour and doesn't have big blocks of boring colour anywhere. Also, white is best for the background of content.

D) I know ClubHabbo is a forum, but http://www.clubhabbo.net/, the colours they use have always appealed! (:

Well, now you know what to do, scrap your current design and start a fresh one - leave the past behind, in this boring thread.

[Cutter]

OMG!!! you should try not using yellow and try making the connectors shorter, and add more shading

I know, OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!! have you even read ANY of the thread except Post #1?

[Meti]

I don't like it. It's too plain.
However by adding more colors and shadings it could get better.
Look at modern habbo designs and try and get some inspiration.
