    Telephone number

    Posted on Nov 16, 2009 at 10:38 AM

    As said above the telephone number is just kind of there, at first i actually thought it was an IP Address.

    You could maybe have that down the bottom right, and use that spare space to make your footer align right across the site.

    Good job.

    Laptop :)

    Posted on Nov 16, 2009 at 10:40 AM

    Hey Swarat,

    Overall I like the design, I find it very engaging, clean within trends. I like it!

    What I would work on:

    1. Well, first thing, I would change the laptop with a MacBook :D. They just look better ...

    2. What's with the number on top right ? Phone number? Why would you put it there? Anyway it looks akward.

    3. The icons in the middle bar don't fit the rest of the design. Eg.: The "Clients" icon is like windows messenger icon with a superimposed sync symbol. The icon is 3D glossy, the symbol looks 2D. The colors of the icons don't match the design.

    4. The text of the call to action button (take a tour) is too dark. I would change it for a brighter color.

    I might be nitpicking here, but there are some text formulations I would also change:

    1. Skills = What we're good at. You are a design company not a freelancer.

    2. Avaiable in = Available on. You are on face book not in Facebook.

    My two cents,

    Zeno.

      PS: don't take the thing with the laptop seriously ... It's just a personal preference :D.

      One more thing: Legal, Privacy need to be more delimited from the rest of the footer, as they are links, the footer is not. One cannot tell one from the other right now.

    Add more alignment points to bring page together.

    Posted on Nov 16, 2009 at 10:52 AM

    I think the colors are lovely here.

    I am wondering how many columns you are working with here. I think all the elements need some type of alignment to each other. Right now I only see one left alignment. Maybe split into three sections for this one or six?

    For the type concerns: I would not have the word "thing" by itself, either add it to the second line or add more words.

    The listing of words under "About Us" have different spacing compared to the other lists. Consistency will help them feel like they all belong together.

    I would maybe try aligning the computers top left edge of the computer screen to this left alignment, as that is the strongest line in this cut out.

    Again, I like the colors and the pics, and type choices. Looks good!

    telephone number

    Posted on Nov 16, 2009 at 7:34 PM

    Maybe change it to contact me -link? Everything else looks very good! I like how the computer is not aligned to the grid, makes the layout more alive.

    Looks good

    Posted on Nov 18, 2009 at 8:04 AM

    Really nice start here Swarat! The logo should probably be centered in the top header area. I would also choose a different color for the gray bar. Other than that, GREAT work!

    Aligning The Top List

    Posted on Nov 19, 2009 at 4:34 AM

    HEY!! Nice job!

    but, why don't you align the top list/menu to the end of the texts it has below? it will create a structured apearence!

    I love the design!

    phone

    Posted on Nov 16, 2009 at 9:53 AM

    wow, this looks great!!!

    a couple small things i see:

    1) the phone number is just kind of hanging out at the top. seems out of place and an afterthought.

    2) the rainbow background ends right at the bottom of the TAKE A TOUR button. I think it might look better if your feather the bottom of that rainbow background instead of giving it a hard edge.

    My pretty pony

    Posted on Nov 19, 2009 at 1:08 PM

    Change the rainbow and dove it's a bit too whimsical. Get a laptop that is slightly angled so it's semi facing in to your "Take Tour" button. Make button a bit brighter

    I'd probably make the laptop a bit smaller as well.

    All this said, I still give this a high rating, It looks good.

    content placement is good

    Posted on Nov 17, 2009 at 6:25 PM

    Colors and spacing mainly. I think if you are going with the rainbow idea you can really make this fun. Use a classic rainbow coloring scheme. Also space out Crescent Studio logo lettering. I Like where the content is placed. I also like the image flying out of the computer. Enlarge the body text so it quickly easy to read. Hope this helps a bit.

    The Dove

    Posted on Nov 17, 2009 at 8:05 PM

    I really like the concept. Nice flow, great color usage. The only 2 things I would change would be 1. the dove, I don't really like it. I understand why its there, is that their logo? If so i think there would be better ways to use it. The other is the logo text in the top left corner, if that is not there logo, I would give it more pizzaz, it's too plain for the site. The rest of the site is fun and colorful, and that text is just stuck there in a kinda boring font. Other than those 2 things great work!
