It doesn't do it for me - sorry.
Sorry.
- The default text isn't that default as it's smaller than default and it all looks too cramped in a small area for the content.
- The 'wood effect' on the banner seems a little random and the swirl through it seems random to the green's/white's of the actual layout.
- The banner is too big.
- The slogan is too wacky for a professional designer.
I like the wood effect. Nice little design :D good one +rep
Very nice but the font in the banner is a bit weird?
TY
Anymore?
Brilliant as usual Joe
Excellent looking layout
Ye i agree i like the wood effect also i don't think green goes well the the different browns and the pink logo doesn't look right it's like a sheep in a field with horses just stands out and looks stupid but it's a nice design overall 8/10Quote:

- The default text isn't that default as it's smaller than default and it all looks too cramped in a small area for the content. Ive now made it into Verdana at size 10-11 instead of Arial, which was making it compact. The text area is a tad small, so I may code it in % rather than PX next time, so its fluid.
- The 'wood effect' on the banner seems a little random and the swirl through it seems random to the green's/white's of the actual layout. Sorry. I dont agree with this. Without it, it would be boring, and it encorparates the background into the layout. I was planning on making it change for each page. :)
- The banner is too big. - Even on a 800 x 600 setting, it looks fine. It may be a tad too tall, but ah well.
- The slogan is too wacky for a professional designer. There isnt a slogan as such. Thats more of a comment. Its a well know fact that something like that can give you website more user-freindly-ness. Humour is a great thing. Its not funny, but its something extra.
I agree in NO WAY with Ryan. I dont see how he can say that, then say its nice. Brown + Wood Effect + Green + Pink or Red as a contrast = Classic, yet contemptory combination . .
Personly i like the chicken slogan bits, one of my fav parts, im doing this from memoery since your site has decised to go offline again, which it does at will at random intevals as far as i can see "/
Chickens + Professionalism....
:l
Humour is good but wacky isn't.
Good concept anywho ;)
Great, as always. I love its simplicity.
What?>
A site with: Joe Comins - A Personal Portfolio . . .
Or a site with: A Creative Portfolio of Joe Comins. I'm a chicken, whats your excuse?
Its not a professional design site. Its a portfolio. The chicken is the best part. It just seems to me that you have no idea of real design: Something that people will remember, instead of looking at, and clicking off.
Carl is right, and anyone who doesnt understand that isnt the brightest spark on the lump of coal
Wood effect is a no no imo, sorry Joe... some nice bits like the clean overall look of it but on a whole. Not your best.
It has potential, but something about it puts me off, not too sure. Nice job though.
Oh, and it fails validation.
Yey!
Chicken, how professional...
You really have no idea about web design.Quote:

You Adam, have no idea about web design at all.
People remember crazy and stupid things like that poke the penguin thing i went on it once but i still remember it cause it was crazy.
Im not gonna rate this cause tbh joe you can do better.
Looks nice. Not my style thooo.
It lightens up the layout a bit, why does it matter? In my opinion in livens the whole thing up and brings in a bit of entertainmentQuote:

Because slogans have everything to do with webdesign.
I know nothing about webdesign - oh dear. :o
Oh wait - I remember now that opinions don't count on this forum :rolleyes:
Not just this thread but in the past week your attitudes completely changedQuote:

Well, if you think that your right, then your sadly deluded.
The chicken is something to add a more comfortable feel to the user. MAny people feel that something like that would lighten the mood of the site, and give it more of a friendly feel, so that the user doesnt feel lost or belittled in the site.
It also gives the user something to remember thats unique about your site: The chicken.
And Adam, thats why youve not got much futher in a very long time. You have one set way, and you do not realise the mental and phycological effects of small things. If you see a cat in someones small bungalow with an old lady with glasses inside, with an open fire, it feels more welcoming that a pure white, cold appartment overlooking factories with no distrinction, doesnt it? Same theory applies.
This is my point non stop sarcasmQuote:

I don't think i'm right Joe - it's a friggin opinion and you go off on one because I don't like one of your designs...
I have a hell of a lot of sarcasm - it's the lowest form of whit, but the highest of intelligence.
I see where you're coming from but in the design world - I have no background experience, no ps skills, no graphics/arts skills what so ever to be honest so my designs are going to be hellova crap arn't they?
Be honest - if everyone had the same opinion about everything then the world would be a boring place. If many people like the design [which seems to be the case] then go with it.
You're not going to take 'advice' from some one forum member when the rest disagree with his opinions.
LOL.Quote:

Lol.
Ultimately the layout is nice. Although, I realised what was missing IMO, some sort of border around the two columns beneath the banner. just my opinion though.
Sarcasm the highest form of intelligence?
Get real

I'm sorry in advance for the bad comment.
This is no where near the range of quality of some of your other layouts, its to simple anyone can make a few lines here and there with a banner, I think you getting a little lazzy, although it is still nice
BTW I'm not commenting on the coding because I know nothing about coding
If anyone could do it, why havnt they? . . .
One person made the first wheel. Why didnt evenone else before that? Its a simple concept . . .
:)
I can't see it Joe, link the image on Flickr please.
ontopic: needs a different banner
offtopic: dans back :o
Perhaps. I have had few other accounts, but I realised this one had been unbanned. (Off ill, therfore bored) and I still had VIP (huh) so I thought i'd come on.Quote:

If I like something - I like it, if I dont, well - i don't.
So, if you have a problem with my opinions then just choose to ignore me - simple.
Oh just shutup and go back to your time zone.Quote:
