I keep trashing my website design because i’m never really happy enough with it. Designing not really my strong point, I’m pretty happy with this thus far. Not going for a corperate layout, since I started school again, or at least for this version. Now please be brutal, this is the only way I’ll get better at designing. [http://www.digitalosophy.com/root/layout.jpg](http://www.digitalosophy.com/root/layout.jpg) Mainly the content section concerns me (i.e. where the text and mouse logo is). Looks a bit bland to me, any suggestions? ---

looks beautiful man! I don´t see a problem in the content area to be honest, the thing that I don´t like it´s the mouse logo, I dont know, its a little out of place maybe, u could use in the content area something like the graphics on the top but with an alpha of 60% or more, just barely visible great job :thumb: is it going to be flash or html? ---

Sorry, I really am, but I just have to tell you some things to fix… First of all, the header is GREAT. I love that abstract “thing” with all the lines and waves in there. * * * The nav bars drop shadow is too much, it doesnt even look like its coming out now (sorry) :(. The nav bars gradient (red \> white) looks sort of dead (sorry) :(. The little “Home \>” doesn’t look too good or aligned (sorry) :(. God I feel like a jacka\*\* :(… ---

dunno if it’s been mentioned, but take off the drop shadow (on the nav), and maybe change it to a gradient, something like [www.xerogravity.net](http://www.xerogravity.net) ---

berkoWitZ: yes i do agree with you about the mouse. see originally i created that logo for a different type of design. i thought maybe i could pull if off with this design, but i think your right. Sharif: thanks for the comp about the header. do not feel bad for pointing out errors, in fact your right about everything you suggested. as a matter of fact someone else i know said the same exact thing. body: yup, im going to take a look at that website you mentioned now. thanks for the comments guys, i will repost the mods =) edit: Berk, most likely this will be the HTML version, i will definatly make a flash one too, but first i want to see how happy i am with this design. but regardless the menu will be in flash, going for an elastic bounce effect on rollover
