Need some critiques on a layout I whipped up

1

I was competing with some large firm for this contract and the people called me like 2 hours ago and said they decided to go with my lil bity studio. So they said the need to see something tomorrow. So I whipped this up. Here was the criteria. make it conservative, make it blue (they like blue), not cluttered, and do something cool with our logo. You guys let me know your opinions, what you would do if anything and what not pleez. I am planning to jazz the nav up just a bit so it is plain jane right now.

oh and the like circles since the prduct they produce is circular

oh yeah and the layout will scale bot vertical and horizontal to 100% of the page

left nav - feels like it needs something - also top right…top right more subdued…but i do like it a lot

hhmmmm yah good point…just done want to create clutter…im playing around with it now…ill post again after a few more critiques

Mhh Maybe you should space up / break you paragraph. Must be tough to read.
And maybe you could add a different color for the paragraph backgrnd, to make it standout/be different

It looks great, simple, professional design :slight_smile:

Nice! The logo’s great!

loooking good m8 :thumb:

you should left align your paragraph titles (‘R&K Standard Products’ and ‘Excellent Customer Service’) It doesn’t look right as it is at the moment. You should also look to break up those paragraphs a bit - at the moment, the big blocks of small text arent very attractive (no one will be bothered to read them). and yes, as most people said, the left nav needs… something :slight_smile:

other than that, great work :slight_smile:

So it is unanimous the left nav sux. I will try to jazz it up. Yeah the paragraph is a lil jumbled I hav not received any text yet but I space it out in FW before submitting.

hey mlk
The paragraph section is a diff color although it is slight. Guess I’ll make it darker. Thanks ya’ll for te comments

here is another slightly diff version.

paragraph spaced out
lil sumthin small for the left nav
switched up the upper nav a lil bit
darkened the middle bgrd

All suggestions from you folks

accidently deleted the attach.

15

that looks a lot better!
I recommend doing something with the left menu background now though… like throw in a little pattern or something below the text… it looks kinda bland having a huge blue bar there… ya know?
I really like it though

16

looking a lot better, i still think you need to left align the title text for each paragraph. looks weird on the right.

17

the top nav is rocking now. left just seems to be missing something. other than that i like it@
