copy and paste the url

...it doesn't capture my attention...:o

Well. It's kind of attractive. And I appreciate you not going overboard with all the bevels and lens flares and filters and tutorials. So kudos to you on that.

I think you should switch around the band/search thing in the upper right corner. You can't tell if it's a band search, or a search for bands, or a bands section, and a search section. I would suggest putting them side by side instead of stacked on top of each other.

pixel please do not post something negative unless u tell me why it is so i can fix it :p

Ummm.... It says

"This page is not available.
We're sorry, but this page is currently unavailable for viewing.

But Im sure Its pretty cool if I could see it.... :rolleyes:

Cuptow555, that's why he said to copy/paste the link into the address bar. Geocities doesn't allow outside linking of images.

Hey i like it. It's not too busy, it's clean. it's lookin real professional. i agree with the Band and Search thing with the arrows however it still looks nice.

for those buttons under the top left logo. are u gonna put text in them? cus that's kinda small and hard to read. especially on an 800x600 resolution.

Here's a couple suggestions.
Add a border around the whole interface.
actually add a border to the left side of the page and make your background colour red or dark grey. make a border or a bevel border on the inside of the left window where (i suppose) you would put your content.

Whats that white part on the very bottom of the interface? its just spanning across the whole image.

well thats all i can think of for now. peace. and nice work

is this better?

ignore the extra white space crap i just left that in the canvas to give me some working space...


about the buttons.. im running a 1152/864 pixel config and the buttons seem to be small but not too small so 800/600 should be bigger not smaller, right???

well i dont know what to do about them the guy im designing this for says he likes it

what font would be clear enough to read on the buttons?

what happened to that font tutorial so u could make clear small text

yeah it is kinda boring. NOt much action. Like PIXel said it doesnt grab your attenttion. Like it doesnt jump out and say look at me. You coudl easily just press back without looking.

The design, header, navbar etc isn't supposed to jump out and say look at me. No one comes to a site to look at the navbar. It's just a necessary tool to find all of the info on the site. The content should be what jumps out at you. The navbar and everything else should just sit on the side twiddling its thumbs, saying, 'I'll be over here in the corner until you decide you need me'.

I still think the search/bands thing should be side by side. Not on top of each other.
