Well im currently in the process of designing a concept design for LL.
I've taken the base design from Flickr.
The only thing is. I've made some buttons to go onto the right of the page, and i dont really think that they "fit in" to the design.
Any ideas of how i could tweak the buttons so that they look better?
Current header
Thanks

Is it bevelled & embossed?
If so, lower the opacity
OH MY GOD THAT IS TERRIBLE.

I personally agree, no offence but with those sorts of buttons you shouldnt be making a webdesign site.Quote:

Maybe add some glow to the buttons? :)

Take a look at the placement of the "LL" overlayed on the image and how the buttons are placed on the left hand side... it is fine to base a layout off of something but when I look at it I just kind of glossed over immediately because it was just SOOO similar.
Also, I agree that it doesn't really scream 'web design' - might want to think about that.
Good try, avoid using buttons since in most cases they're not necessarily nor compliment the rest of the design.
Try checking out websites such as CSS Lovers (click, here) for inspiration, although do try to experiment with new concepts, but remember to stick to your design instincts since some things just aren't meant to be.
Good luck.
Thanks scriptz and scott. I've changed the design as i agree with scriptz, it looked too much like FlickR.
Thanks to those who had something constructive to say ;)
You're welcome.
Left hand side is good, right hand side is terrible.
As a photographer I will also comment on the image. The bee is out of focus, and what you have tried to do (if you took the photo) is focus on the flower, which is a non-moving object, then had a fast moving object coming from the right, therefore a mix of focus and you can't follow the bee in.
I have a plant photos up for sale if interested...
Which aren't as good as that one.Quote:
