    A Good Direction... Keep Working

    Posted on Jan 03, 2012 at 8:57 PM

    Yunus ~

    I think this is a good start. What's not working for me is - the header area doesn't really work.

    1. Not certain whether the top of this page needs a logo, and some navigation. Is this a "one page blog template?" I can't tell (which may be a design flaw)
    2. The header treatment is too distracting. Not certain what you're striving for. The cloud image detracts from the photos. You should avoid that approach.
    3. The color works - retain the balance within within each section (the blue and white makes type very easy to read)
    4. The footer area is well crafted

    Keep going on this design. I encourage you to drop back to black and white (minimal wireframes) which will ensure that you workout the elements of the design -- without relying on color and detailed treatments.

    Best of luck

    Love this

  • 2

    I'd replace the social boxes with monochrome, white icons

  • 3

    Whilst I love the idea, the execution seems a bit poor; I'd love it if the whole top could be replaced with a big photo, nicely blending into the body

  • 4

    I realise the fonts and sizes are not final; if not, both the images and the fonts need to be toned down considerably!

  • 5

    Too much text, blend in some pullquotes or dropquotes

  • 6

    The gradient is a little harsh, try a lighter blue for the header color

  • 7

    The clouds are taking some of the impact away from the photos. Try reducing their size

  • 8

    Try adding a drop shadow to these images to make them pop

  • 9

    Add some spacing between the title and content.

  • 10

    Give the titles a different color than the content

  • 11

    This is getting lost in the background. Try changing the color of the ribbon

  • 12

    I'm not sure if I like the blue tones here. It reminds me of any movie where someone is being operated on..or where someone just died. You could also try reducing the size just a bit.

  • 13

    Add some spacing above your social icons

  • 14

    There seems to be some inconsistant spacing in your contact form

  • 15

    Love the taped profile pic

  • 16

    I'm not a fan of this treatment. As a primary banner or headers -- this really is not "saying" anything

  • 17

    Good area

  • 18

    Good footer

  • 19

    Not certain what this is???

  • 20

    these cloud-like images do not work with the other graphical images

  • 21

    fields may not be wide enough to capture text

  • 22

    The clouds looks very different to the icons. In the other hand, it's only one cloud cloned... do a couple more.

  • 23

    Some kind of subtle shade will help you to give the photos a sense of position in the general composition.

  • 24

    Keep in mind the fold!

  • 25

    Make it straight

  •  
  • 26

    Not looks aligned to me!

  • 27

    I think you need to give some space here to make it readable also need bolder font and darker color!
