I reckon number 2 with number 1's colours.

Get to work.

C4D · 21-12-2004, 09:05

Second one is better, prefer the colours and font.

More neutral.

But yeah get to work

lucidcreations · 21-12-2004, 09:35

I like number 1. It also pisses on my chips cos it looks similar to something I started work on today, oh well back to the draw board.

JiRaffe · 21-12-2004, 09:45

no2 looks more contemporary. no.1 looks a bit dated i reckon. as for fixed or fluid. i'd go for fixed. maybe put a solid background colour to the right on no.2?

emil · 21-12-2004, 10:19

number two

Really, Fixed? Howcome if I may ask. As for designs I think we're going to play with both further.
no.1 I think diffrent fonts and tone down the colors look at the grid again.
no.2 I think punch it up a bit and try getting away with a more daring grid.

anyone else?

#2 is the best by far

JiRaffe · 21-12-2004, 11:29

if you make it fluid, you lose control of the balance of the site. if its fixed you know how it will look, regardless of whether its on a tiny monitor or a huge monitor.

C4D · 21-12-2004, 11:42

agreed

gin · 21-12-2004, 11:44

You guys should check out some more fluid sites, takes alot more effort with fluid but I think almost always makes it worth it. You should see some things the korean design community are doing.

C4D · 21-12-2004, 11:52

Fixed is the best way to display a heavy copy site, if the website was more of a showcase site with little copy then the fluid option would have more of an arguement in my experience...

however I maybe misinterpreting the phrase "fluid", correct me if i am wrong

why?

lucidcreations · 22-12-2004, 04:48

I don't agree 1 looks dated. its far more corporate in design. Remember it doesn't have to be a work of fashionable art. It's about the brand and I think loads of people here are forgetting this and trying to use the lastest trendy 45 degree lines etc.

2 is nice but doesnt suit the company I don't think IMHO.

Mr Fred · 22-12-2004, 04:49

fluid is overrated

Alex · 22-12-2004, 04:50
