Hi Bonnie -
I really like your concept. My favorite is the 1st one (maroon), then the 3rd, with my least favorite being the middle blue one. The bottom purple is a little busy with the colors, but I still like it. Couple things you might want to look at:
- the horizontal alignment of the 'featured projects' doesn't line up with the right nav column, 'looking for a web designer?'
- also, I know this is getting anal, but the height of the maroon bar with the 'featured projects' is about 13px compared to the heights of the other maroon bars which are roughly 27px and 16px. For some reason (maybe it's just me), it's throwing off balance as a whole.
- I would be consistent with either using left or center alignment for the content in your right navigation panels. The 'Twitter updates' copy is left aligned whereas the content of the other two panels is centered.
the size of your copyright text should be slightly smaller.
Your concept is overall very clean & fresh. I really like your font choice and their colors. I find they work well together. Nice job....
Have fun! :-)
Thanks for all the feedback! The maroon one is my favorite too. I have asked a lot of people which they like best and the answers have been totally across the board. I'll go with the maroon now and I may add a theme switcher to the site later on.
I fixed the featured projects bar so it is consistent with the others on the right. That was actually a very good suggestion and tightened things up a lot.
As far as the twitter box, I am going to tweak that a lot once I actually drop the code into the real site. I'll keep the consistency with alignment in mind.
Smaller copyright text is definitely a good suggestion, which I'll implement.
I'm working on coding it out now. I'll post the final product once i get it done.
Thanks again!
