Tutorial Site Layout - Version 1

[SimplyTech]

Ryan, Joe has a style on here that no one else can mimic some people produce good layouts but they arent one of a kind there are plenty like them but Joes are one of a kind.

For a blog 8/10
For a tutorial site 7/10
Its nice but not your best work

Pfft, This really shows what you people know, to all the people just saying don't like it sorry post why, i'm dreading to see you create a layout, most of you willknow ive been bugging joe to make decent layouts not lieke his ordinary ones, and i actually think this is one of his best ones, it's aligned perfectly
, Colouring is good, the banner is blended good, but i do agree that most of the layout is taken up by boxes but theat can be sorted, well odne

the banner is completly weird for a tut site, wth is that woman for?? banner takes up half the page. for a blog 6/10 for a tut site 0/10 also why are the boxes for conentent white? it looks ugly.

[JoeComins]

For a start, they arnt white.
The women in the banner is a popart image, made entirely on PhotoShop - Hense its reason for being there
The text in the back of the banner is to add depth to it.
The highlighted word are what the site is about.
The boxes can be easily changed, obviously, and the banner can be made smaller. If people give reasons, such as Darell, it can be changed.

I keep changingmy mind. One minute, I think Darell is a ***, then I think he is the only one that talks sence.

Oh, And that Ozzie. I do appreciate it.

So who doesnt like it?
Carl - Fair enough, Master
Ryan - Do I care what he thinks?
Oracle - The guy who wants me to copy other stes, and have nothing thats unique

o.0 trust me mimicking is pretty easy, anyone who wants to bother could quite easily do so, as they could with pretty much any site.
Plus the reason good layouts are often the same is becuse they ARE a good design, and people like GOOD designs. If people are investing money they will go for something they have assurence will be successful and is establised as opposed to something new and experimental, hence why there are so few orignal movies these days. If it works, why fix it is the general philosophy.

My only complaint with the layout is that the banners way to big.

i think joe has gone crazy :s

That looks more like a portfolio or blog layout, not something to do with tutorials, you want something which uses the layout and makes it look good, so what it expands it just doesn't look cool. Look at other tutorial sites and thats how you want layouts, not just your average ones JoeComins.

Im going to be brief.

Pros:

1. Complex which i like

2. I like the colours

3. Id use it as a blog

Cons:

1. Not tutorial style.

2. Background is mickms?

3. Banners massive

4. Too much text on the banner

5. The girl scares me

But you have to remember i DO like it

Thanks Sy-y Baby. Some useful points. It makes a change from half of these idiots.

I got that background from someone on DeviantArt. It sort of stole it from the background of a layout. It might have been one of that MickMS's designs
