PhoenixFire 0 #1 August 5, 2003 Hi I have decided to do a personal website, and have come up with a design, which I would like your opinion on - esp those of you that are in the field / with a more artistic eye. Please let me know what you think - whether it needs more/less etc ... Constructive critisism is welcome. ( I have made quality less in order to keep size down)Peace Be Da Journey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlueEyedMonster 0 #2 August 5, 2003 I think it is really good actually. Just 3 good opposing colors, Simple, Stylish, and Unique. Plus, the font is simple and easy to read. Kudos! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skymama 37 #7 August 5, 2003 Yeah, the shade of the burgandy doesn't really match the shade of the blue.She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlueEyedMonster 0 #8 August 5, 2003 QuoteYeah, the shade of the burgandy doesn't really match the shade of the blue. It shouldn't match. Its should contrast, which it does very well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #9 August 5, 2003 QuoteIt shouldn't match. Its should contrast, which it does very well. I'm not saying it needs to match exactly, but the colors need to have the same tones. If you don't, it just looks pukey. All it would take would be to take it up or down a notch, like on those big color wheels that they have at the paint store.She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlueEyedMonster 0 #10 August 5, 2003 QuoteQuoteIt shouldn't match. Its should contrast, which it does very well. I'm not saying it needs to match exactly, but the colors need to have the same tones..... But they do. Both the blue and the burgandy share a common color... Blue--Personally my favorite color. The blue is really a purplish blue. While not perfect complementary colors according to the color wheel, they are actually very close. Probably off by less than a color. Its original... its not purple/yellow or blue/orange. Plus, with the addition of the white. The 3rd color helps to offset the slight imbalance of the other two. I still think its SaaaWEEEEET!

masher 1 #12 August 5, 2003 I like it. The contrast is good. The font is readable.-- Arching is overrated - Marlies Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #13 August 5, 2003 It looks good. Mama: with web design, you just get it close. Know why? The color will look different on every single different monitor out there.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

ladyskydiver 0 #14 August 5, 2003 I like the design, but the red looks more of a brownish-red. I'd make the red a little bit more red - but stay with a blue-based red.Life is short! Break the rules!

StevePhelps 0 #16 August 6, 2003 What you will discover is that some people who have artistic taste value blend over contrast. Others prefer contrasting colors over blend. Its not that either are wrong, just biased. Then there are those who have NO artistic taste whatsoever (like I have no musical ear) www.steve-phelps.com BTW - I like your tribal design. I prefer blends so I'd tone down the background color if it were mine, bust as I said before ... to each his own. Thanks for sharing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its should contrast, which it does very well. i agree with mama, although the word she is looking for is 'complementary' means the same thing in color matching as anything else, but the blue is too 'cool' for the burgandy. need one with more red undertones and it will 'contrast' nicely. of course dave is right too. since next to no one but graphic designers& photographer types takes the time to color correct their monitors.. otherwise the design is very clean..not bad at all..just watch how you place your feilds and buttons, so you dont ruin the effect.____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
