    Everything below the yellow bar is great!

    Posted on Dec 01, 2009 at 7:41 AM

    The content below the yellow bar work really well. The stuff above the yellow bar including the bar. The light above sgmedia needs to go unless that is part of the logo. The navigation looks a little bland to me as well as the bar. The logo could also use some down scaling.

    I think I would just try and add some more detail work into the header items (Shading, lines, texture, etc.). Give it a much more polished look.

    Hope that helps, great start so don't move in a completely different direction. Just modify what you have.

    The handwriting

    Posted on Dec 01, 2009 at 5:04 AM

    on the left you have 'present' in handwritting, but it just doesn't fit the rest of the site.

    I would look at moving everything up, you want your work to appear before the fold, so that people don't need to scroll to see what it is your actually offering.

    Other than that its nice and clean like most digital agencies.

    Focus?.

    Posted on Dec 01, 2009 at 3:43 AM

    What is really important the quote or the content? cause the first impression when I saw this design is the quote, not the content. it looks bigger visual content is displayed than your portfolio. Focus on what you want to "sell" on this website.

    The color you choose is too dark, and the logo should be more stand out because the logo is part of the brand that people should know.

      Good! :), some minor to be fixed is the button, if the mouse over the text to be dark because it will not be seen as a yellow background. At the bottom there is a black color would be great is not used.

      Logo: whether to use the light cone? if there is no better relating removed or replaced with another visual.

      The distance between the button above the portfolio too much space, only suggest, what if the button is like a folder / file. :)

    space between words and color of white on yellow.

    Posted on Dec 01, 2009 at 8:07 PM

    Hi Swarat!

    I think this is nice. Just a few space issues:

    The word "contact" in your navigation button is not centered in the box.

    I would change the color of the words " Bright Idea" and "More" from white to a darker more contrasting color. Rather than white against yellow. Maybe consider keeping all the "more>" words the same color throughout your pages?

    I would maybe add curly quotes to your quote. Maybe bring in the space between all the following words: "Get in touch", "How we may help" and Some of our clientS" (don't forget the "s" in clients)

    I like the dots and the simplicity.

      I really like this. I agree, the quote is competeing in size. I would consider maybe having: nav then quote then work display. I like the clear concise how we help you, our clients etc... part of the page. I think more and more this kinda of upfront clear communication is best.

      if you don't want to move the quote i would at least give some more space above the yellow bar, its a bit crowded. Other then that this is great.

    the orange bar and up

    Posted on Dec 01, 2009 at 8:04 AM

    its a great start but I know you can make the top stand out more. with a different nav and the showcase for present work is not jumping out at me.

    the dots

    Posted on Dec 01, 2009 at 5:00 PM

    pretty good start on this one overall. i would like to see the dots spread out a bit more and be less condensed. Also i would rather see the "present work" removed and have that image extend to the left side.

    careful with dark pages

    Posted on Dec 01, 2009 at 6:14 AM

    I liked the website's structure, but the dark page needs some careful. It's too dark.
