Hi all, id like some feedback for

http://www.graphicstalk.info

also im working on a banner i want to keep it clean and simple but yet i feel somehow something is missing but not sure what, any input would be great, thxs

d3mcfadden · 02-09-2005, 02:42

sorry but not feelin it.

emil · 02-09-2005, 02:56

nope, sorry. why do you feel it has to be black and with grey gradients? plus it looks like it was done 5 years ago.

finbarr · 02-09-2005, 04:41

dont need the background gradient at all - just keep it as one colour, preferably not a dark one. Way too much going on in the banner section of the page - its hard to know whats what. And, did you nick the icons from somewhere - they look familiar

SB Graphic · 02-09-2005, 06:05

ok fairplay, no the icons were what come standard with invision power board i just desatured them and added an orange color overlay in places.

SB Graphic · 02-09-2005, 06:10

ok ive got rid of the background gradient which i like but i also thought the gradient added more interest, yet i know what you mean i didnt want it to be in your face, but just to add some depth to the design

You've hit the spot though. Think we'd all been wondering when someone would come up with another designers talking website, not many around.

aspiramedia · 02-09-2005, 07:42

I would softent the 'metal' gradient backgrounds on the category headers and behind the banner. I think they are too strong. I'd also like to see more padding/margins within the main bulk of the design as it looks a little clutterred for my taste.

It looks like a gaming forum more than a graphic/design forum.

totally.

and yes get rid of the metallic grads like aspiramedia said

SB Graphic · 02-09-2005, 09:43

i really apericate this site, i love how everyone is so frank, and cut through the bull when it comes to design, many graphics forums i go on just say good, not bad, like it, etc... which is not very helpfull, i hope GraphicsTalk becomes to have the same sort comments as this

i can understand what your saying about the grads, i want the design to by bold and interesting but yet i dont want it to have a tacky look to it... back to the drawing board
