i think it has potential. the first thing that i saw is that either the background or the text needs to be the greenish blue, not both. makes it very hard to read. the other thing i noticed is that it seems a bit disjointed, kinda like a bunch of things layed out on the page without a whole lot of thought put into relating their positions and transitioning between the different elements. put a bit more work into it, and i think it can turn out pretty nice though, gj.

Its my personal opinion that it looks alot like a preset that comes with microsoft frontpage.

one tip i get told so often when i make something as i like black and dark colours a lot

this is a quote from one of my teachers
Quote:
Matthew what do i keep telling you use brighter colours it make it easier on my eyes and more presentable


Haha she is right zig you remember Midnitechallenge before it went to dark colours do you agree with me that brighter colours are better?

its acctually about presenting the idea you are trying to convey. this site is NOT targeted at old fuddy-duddy's with bad eyesight and hippy flashbacks from the 70's. The darkness represents something of a "gaming" nature. in fact, check out most of the major game development sites, and look what you see.... darkness. black backgrounds and shady graphics. :)

thanks for the comments though. i much prefer the rework myself. its still in progress though so expect a few more subtle changes in the next few days. xD

MC is ugly no matter what colour you throw at it.

I learned everything from notepad. Back in the day, when we had to take up webdesign in our mandatory technology class...

They'd huddle around me and watch me code in notepad and talk to myself (a must if you're working in notepad!) then look at eachother and go back to frontpage.

I find the best way to gauge a designers skill is to check the notepad. If they have <!-- slices start here --> or whatever before the code, then you know they're amateur.
