    • The three dots graphic before titles is pretty neat, but it feels too tight on some of the titles. I think it looks best before the 1 2 3 4 5 and far too tight on News and Contact

    • The line between the logo and slogan is too tall and breaks the grid in an unsettling way

    • the highlight of "home" doesn't quite touch that line and feels a little weird to me

    • the icons in the footer are a bit distracting, maybe go grayscale?

    Alignement is suffering

    Posted on Nov 02, 2009 at 6:55 AM

    You seem to have a few alignment issues here. Your misalignment is pulling my eye through the site in a bad way. I would work off a grid system if you aren't already. I would also think about going super simple and dark with this design. So logo, image and tiny bit of content. No gradient background or lines. I like the texture you chose in the background so stick with that.

    I like the grungy feeling

    Posted on Nov 02, 2009 at 8:36 AM

    I really like how you used the grunge effect. To me it looks like the area on the words "Latest Projects" is empty. Maybe add a description right there.

    Textures

    Posted on Nov 02, 2009 at 1:02 PM

    There are multiple textures being used here that create a lack of unity. The header is grungy, the content areas are more sleek with the gradient/lighting effect, and the footer seems to have a bit of wood grain to it. Also, the content areas seem more purple-based than red or gray. Definitely not of the same hue as the usage of red in the header.

    background

    Posted on Nov 02, 2009 at 2:25 PM

    I love the first image with two doves! The rest is nice too. I would make the background more different, maybe with some natural textures?

    Icons

    Posted on Oct 31, 2009 at 5:13 PM

    The icons you have used are very web 2.0 when you've got a lovely grungey website. Its quite conflicting. You need some grunge icons!

    nice web.

    Posted on Nov 01, 2009 at 9:28 AM

    I really like the design' looks professional and serius. the italic text (next to the logo) is not so clear try without the italic mode.

      Thanks. I think the anti aliasing Photoshop applies on the fonts makes the text unreadable. Once I'm putting everything on HTML I'll play with it some more.

    font size

    Posted on Oct 31, 2009 at 1:54 PM

    Your design looks very good and ready. But maybe you should use smaller font size, the news-area is going to fill quickly now.
