when you said that you loved the surfboard idea i didn't know what you were talking about! i think its because the texture has made it look more like wood panelling on a wall? perhaps if you had the end of the surfboard (the curved area) it would be more obvious as a graphic image.
I'm not sure about the bubbles, the large one is too big- it distracts from the rest of the website completely
The contents list next to the bite mark (if thats what it is) aren't clear enough the turquoise doesn't stand out enough against the wood texture colour.
Hope this helps
Great design! :) very creative however it looks more like an add than a web site, it does not look much interactive.
The wooden text is almost unreadable from blending in the wood
the menu is wicked :)
basically its a great job an it looks awesome and creative
Hi Ashe,
Sorry, but there are too many different styles on this design, the wooden frame, the bubbles, the odd artwork/waves at the bottom.
Also, the way you placed the navigation is not good at all, not legible and the colour you chose for the links make it even more hard to read them.
There is no relationship between the brand name and the concept... even more, I think there is no concept here, it looks like a really cheap design done by someone with basic photoshop skills.
I'd like to suggest you start over and find a consistent concept related to the brand in concern.
Thanks Ezequiel! I appreciate your feedback. :D The concept is that surfing is an adventure (Adventure Road Studios), especially with a shark bite in it. :D
Thanks Tamara!
