heres the address [http://www.rakerecords.com/test/Rake.html](http://www.rakerecords.com/test/Rake.html) Basically im not sure about the nav ?? See i originally was gonna have the buttons across the top navigate the whole site. but while designing the bands section (the one which initialy loads) i had the idea of indibidual movies for each band which then have nav buttons to go to the relevant areas (albums/tours/bio etc) and only have the forum/Merch/contact buttons all the top buttons are unanimated and disabled and the various other animation tweeks are to be done but basically i want opinions on the layout?? Oh and by the way yes it does have to be those colors !! ---

Well there isn’t much to critique on, but right off the bat, the thing you would want to consider changing is your choice of fonts. You’re using a type of font that looks rediculous with your layout which has a “techie” feel. On top of that you have the grim reaper on your site so combined with the orange background, it reminds me of halloween. Since you’re stuck with the orange, I guess you’ll have to deal with it and come up with something else that doesn’t tie into halloween. ---

Thats pretty nice mate, Though the type and the band name look the same, so you dont really know where the menu starts until you mouse over it. ---

i agree with egeek, look much better if you changed the type, lose the grim reaper , it you need to keep it , maybe look for another image of the grim reaper. Layout is alright ,there alot of potential in there, would be intresting to see it progress. ---

The font looks like the same font used for the clockwork orange movie(one of my all-time favorites). i think you could use the font for specific logos but not for the layout. as far as the colors, i don’t know. it kinda reminds me of a reeses candy wrapper. not trying to mean or anything(i mean like have room to talk, look at my site), just trying to be honest and state what the average non-flash/design-geek would think when they vist your site. i don’t know. maybee i’m just hungry right now and a reese cup sounds really good. nick ---

thanks for your opinions guys! As for the font i agree im not keen on it either but im stuck with it, so i’ll probably just change the button text color a bit or something to make it stand out a bit more. Yeah the skeleton graphic sucks at the moment but im gonna make it smaller and contain it somehow. Anyway cheers and being from the UK i have no idea whata reeses wrapper is (candy bar i assume) so points taken on board and thanks again, its by no means finished so i’ll get back to working on it now :beam:
