dark website with landscapes

Hi every body

A friend sent me some landscapes and asked me to create a webdesign with them.

have you some idea to include landscapes in a web design ?

this is my work in progress :

PS: the website deals with a music band.

Lose the lens flare, it makes every design look cheesy and "filterized".

The text is HUGE, as is the header. I'd make everything much smaller and leave more room for the content, rather than the huge graphics. People would be coming to the site to learn more about the band, not look at gigantic pictures of forrests. Focus on the content, the graphics are just there to make it interesting.

thank you

I think you're right

FONT = HORRIBLE :p

I dont know, but I really do not like the font... at least not in the landscape/nature setting that its currently in. I would do what deker said and maybe focus more on the band rather than the landscape/nature theme. Everything is just really huge and kindof clashes with one another.

Some work and I think it will be better though

thanks to your advices, I spent more time working on it,
and there is the new version here :

Well it looks alright, but i have some suggestions/comments....

1. When you make the site make sure the background doesnt tile.... it looks really bad at higher resolutions.
2. The text doesnt line up, im not sure why because the entire thing is an image so i know its not a browser issue. I would make sure you fix that.
3. I dont really like the bullets, the dont go with anything.. :P

Other than that I think it looks alright
