    Good design, not as good as the others

    Posted on Jun 23, 2010 at 9:05 AM

    Same comment from me - I like the other versions much better. The gradients and use of shadows here is a bit random and the page looses cohesiveness.

    The buttons, top element, the three boxes all the way at the top are not as strong as the other concepts. I probably should write more comments here since I keep ranting at people for short reviews, but since all these designs are so similar it's hard to say different things. :)

    I hope this helps and let me know if there's anything else I can help you with.

    Bar breaks up the page

    Having breaks in the page is usually a good thing, but this one is a little too forceful. The navigation color makes it difficult to break your eyes from it and continue with the rest of the page.

    Darker color

    I would play with putting a different color in the background. If you had a darker color with the constitution still as the overlay, it would help separate the content from the background.

    Different color

    This color works OK with the layout as is, but all together you have a pretty washed out hum-drum look to this one. If you made the background color darker, you should also make this lighter. maybe matching the gold at the top.

    rework this area

    This entire navigation/search looks like an afterthought. I think playing with the links so they worked with this top nav and playing a little more with this part will help this top area quite a bit.

    separation

    As I stated earlier, this page just is there right now. In order to make this look as polished as your others, this content area needs some more work. I would play with separating it from the background. I would also play with the typography here. In parts ::

    It is too loose. There is too much space in between these news items.

    In other parts it's too tight

    There should be more space between the date and content.
