    how is this going to work on different resolutions ?

    I like the design idea but it looks crowded and the content in relation to all the other elements it's to small, the content is what is important but in this design it's lost in the design elements that instead of getting in the way of the content should help your users to get to it and understand it better.

    the menu is better to be positioned at the top like the first image you have but the design in the menu is not good. You are using gradient on the menu ... why ? you don't have any gradient on the rest of the page, it's a cardboard cutout design so I don't get the gradient.

    I would like to see how this looks for bigger resolutions if it is possible :).

      hey Ionut. thanks for your comment. You're right about the content-area, it needs to be bigger. I have not payed a lot of attention to this part yet, but I'm getting there..c",

      What concerns the navigation-menu, I have not yet decided wether it will have icons, hover-effect or gradients with textured background. Any suggestions?

      well you could use some icons, but text it just fine. what I suggest here is making the menu items separate and have them like the header and the footer, cardboard cutouts, think of it like you find the words in a magazine and you just cut them out. Try something like that and see how it looks

      good idea. I think that will certainly build upon the cardboard/paperclip theme. thanks!
