Need a bit of feedback on the initial design concept of Favmark which you can see here

http://developer.guavastudios.com/

be as brutal as you want, i dont bruise easily - but rather than just plain old slagging off a bit of constructive criticism would be appreciated

Notes: im wanting to make it very quick to download so am trying to minimise on graphics while at the same time make it interesting to look at

not my cup of tea but nothing seriously wrong with it. What are the empty grey boxes at the bottom tho?

heres the original screenshot

ahh I see now! Like I said not much wrong with it and anyway... a great idea doesnt need anything to sell it - it sells itself

stealthcow · 06-09-2005, 11:51

i'm taking that means you think its a great idea

emil · 06-09-2005, 11:54

I like it. I'm not too keen on the logo. I think it needs a little more work. Maybe a different one?

emil · 06-09-2005, 11:54

ohohohoooooo. just looked in the code

aspiramedia · 06-09-2005, 11:58

I assume as this is part coded that the code will be cleaner?

The design looks nice and crisp. My kind of style. As mentioned above, something with the logo doesn't look quite right.

print based designer speaking here, what the fuck is 'the code'

stealthcow · 06-09-2005, 12:05

im planning to rewrite the code in CSS.. at the moment im still doing the programming for the site itself so i just knocked something together to see how it would all fit together (im still learning CSS so creating it in a hybrid CSS/table format was the quickest way for me to do it)

It's something that anal web-types drone on about all the time.

This:

Code:

<body>
<table width="778" height="122" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center">
  <tr>
    <td background="images/left_shadow_bg.gif" width="9"><img src="images/left_shadow_bg.gif" /></td>
    <td width="761" height="122">
	<table width="761" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" background="images/header_bg.png" height="122">
  <tr>
    <td width="358"><div align="center"><img src="images/logo.png" width="230" height="70" /></div></td>
    <td width="191" valign="top"><!-- Plugin Box -->
	<table width="191" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr>
    <td background="images/header_box_white_bg.gif" class="text_small" height="21" width="191"><div align="center">Favmark plugin not isntalled?</div></td>
  </tr>

Pay no attention to Mr. Parker.
