Was just curious what the Speak Up logo was doing there, that's all.

Its there beacause I wanted to reserve that space on my design for sponsors or affiliates.

Its just a mockup so I just dropped that in because I like their logo not because Im alluding my design to their success. I will probably replace it with a made-up one when Im done.

You hang about on subtraction and aisle one don't you, think Ive seen ur comments a few times?

Yep, that's me. I love Aisle One and Subtraction. Great blogs aren't they?

Also, I didn't mean to come off as rude about your design, hope it's all good.

Yeah I too frequent those blogs as often as I can, aisle one is great for inspiration and I love khoi's writing on design and his passion for the subject.

And no worries, its just that I would have liked to have known your comments on the design itself rather than the intentions behind it

Here are my thoughts on the design:

I think there needs to be some typographic diversity. Courier can be a strain on the eyes, especially when the text runs long (like on a blog). One major thing I notice is a problem with spacing (margins and padding, in particular). Notice up top, where it says "Drop us a line" right next to the description of the blog, they don't vertically align. Neither does the blog post data with the actual content of the post. Also, I think you could work on the underlying grid, because as it is now, it doesn't look completely thought out.

As for general issues, I think you should work on the kerning for the logo and also work out any leading issues throughout the design.

ok thanks, I agree with most of that

Came up with this logo,

what do you think is it a keeper?

looks cool, like an old school newspaper, one thing i did notice though was you spelt categories wrong

[jthomas]

Agree with the sidebar on the right, highly. Also agree with a light gray for sidebar, very light, but maybe with a hint of beige, rather than just gray. Somewhere around #ecebe5.

I like the first one better layout wise. I think a little color would definitely go a long way.

i love the logo .

I think you can use grey on the menú area, or any other neutral color, You must to think when the top image changes, maybe it isn't works good as now.

I think you should put some text on bold, italic...

It looks like a tweaked version of a CV we done a while ago, http://www.spearbox.com/support_file..._1_of_2_cv.png
