New Portfolio/Company Layout

[Knuxxy]

I'm thinking about making a designing and coding site, so if I go through with it I will hire some people.

Anyway what do you guys think of this design?

I'm sorry but if you're going to start a designing and coding company I would make sure that I had a sexy layout. Go looking around the web for some inspiration.

Ok, thanks for the suggestion.

Currently the layout looks a little dodgy, but could probabaly be improved quite a bit of you play with the padding, margins and font's.

A 5px padding on your content zones and a a text size in the reigion of 0.9 - 0.8 em would probs improve the look of text too + maybe concider a differnt font-family
"Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" often looks quite good IMO :p

Oh no dont worry about that stuff!
This is just an alpha demo, its nowhere near completion its just to give people an idea of the design.

But thank you very much for your Input, it is much appreciated :)

I don't like it. It looks really "bland"

Maybe because it hasn't actually got the content in there yet?

[Excellent2]

Maybe because it hasn't actually got the content in there yet?No, the layout is just bland. There is nothing to it? You've done what everyone has done and used that wooden grey background and added some opacity boxes. The logo is horrid and I can't even comment on the nav.

It seems that every thread that i make you come to it and flame me.
I absolutly love the logo, the nav will have images in it when i make the site.
I've tried to keep it simple.

I still love this layout and I will probably go forward with this project.

Horrible, horrible logo font. Horrible choice of red. Bland an 'common' layout.



You need to take people's opinions on board if you are going to get anywhere near making this 'project' a successful one.

Logo's should be modern, sleek and sexual - not a standard free font with a bevel. Also make sure the colours that you choose are in harmony with your design - the current shade of red you have conflicts with the Grey wood background.

The background - is overused. If we all got a quid every time someone used it, we would be rich.

The layout in general, has no creativity. Its just a navigation, banner and a content box - if you compare that to other design sites you will know what I am talking about.

You need to learn to be criticized and act on it. Your arrogance is far greater than even Awfy's at the moment.

[Swinkid]

Like how you stole a background from a deviantart vista theme and not giving any thanks to the creator - i can find the theme if you wish.

[MrPinkPanther]

Your arrogance is far greater than even Awfy's at the moment.
WOAH! No need to go overboard there!

How am i being arrogant?
It's something that I have noticed, that you say bad things a lot in my threads.

@ SwinKid
I new someone would come and start accusing.
It isn't a theme, it's a dark wood pack.
And seriously do you really think I'm going to credit the maker in a demo? I would do that if I developed the site ;l

I criticize you because your designs are rubbish and you ask for comments, simple.

You know what, I'm not going to even risk getting banned because of some immature child.

You're being arrogant by thinking your designs are amazing even though being told by better designers that they're not? Don't cry if you don't like what I say even though its true.

Just refrain from posting in my threads. You post things that are false. ( I do listen to these people, thats why I am currently designing a different layout).

I am not being arrogant, infact, I think you will find, you are being extremely arrogant. Giving it all the "high and mighty" thinking your better than me.

+ I don't cry. There we go again another immature comment. When you grow up, you can post in my threads.

[MrPinkPanther]

I agree with Excellent. Top tip, never rate your own layout, you will think its better than it actually is.

Please people, read before you post.

When you grow up, you can post in my threads.Look mate, I started out like you and I soon learnt that I wasn't the best designer in the universe even thought I thought my designs were good. I didn't like being told the truth but I slowly learnt to after being made out to be a child by pretty much every poster in my thread. Today I'm a much better designer and without being egotistical can tell you that I'm 10x better than yourself.

Grow up? I think you need to stop being narrow minded and selective about who you listen to.

[Knuxxy]

You came on to my thread and said, "It's rubbish."

I am looking for CONSTRUCTIVE criticism, not where you just slate me.

What is constructive about "It's rubbish" ?

[Blob]

What is constructive about "It's rubbish" ?

That it looks like a pile of rubbish and should be redone.

Now stop whining, make a new layout and accept the comments.
