I suck so much at design... too bad it's not something you can learn from books or tutorials.
Anyone got any suggestions on how to display lists of events?
No matter what I try it always looks way to busy. I need to show: Event title, date+time, creator what game it is. Optional would be how many people are attending and a description.

this is just a quick draft but could you not try this sort of thing?

obviously you should tweak the text placement, colors and whatnot

I can do this.

this area looks too tiny and honestly the big "Why Us" box just looks really out of place, the whole thing just feels kinda floaty and incomplete. i can't really put my finger on it but like, putting a big green box surrounding "Why Us" feels out of place and unnecessary, and looks weird compared to the content below it ("We provide premium hosting..") which doesn't have a background. it leaves a bunch of white space to the right of the "Why Us" box that i think would look better if it just stretched horizontally across the screen.
[img]http://i.imgur.com/gKgnS.png[/img]
then, the 3 little boxes below that have the same issue as the "Why Us" box. those little green boxes in the top left corners just seem too bloated and make the rest of the content look sorta weird and hollow. i don't know why i'm having such a hard time putting this all into words but basically what i'm trying to get across is i hate the green boxes with text in them.
[img]http://i.imgur.com/Cf5yN.png[/img]
then this part just seems too small/insignificant to warrant having its own space. i feel like if you put this text up above the 3 boxes, and have the 3 boxes at the bottom of the page right above the footer it'd look better.
[img]http://i.imgur.com/mTIu0.png[/img]
then finally the footer i think should stretch across the whole page horizontally, it looks weird having it just kinda cut off in the middle of the page just to match the content.
heres a mockup i accidentally spent like an hour working on lmao

should add some padding on the titles and make the background like rgba(0,0,0,0.6) or something.
idk man, just padding and margins and shit look extremely off to me.

When "more info" is clicked the image will slide out and more information + link to the event page will show.[/QUOTE]
Concerning the text to the right of the images: There doesn't seem to be any form of hierarchy.

I wanted to change the background image at the top, however the client is fond of it. I need some CC on the content area !
I've been writing a bot that uses a database of electrical goods model codes to search the online stores of some Australian retailers and pulls their prices.
[img]http://puu.sh/Lfdu[/img]
I ran it for 5000 model codes and it returned around 8000 prices across 5 source websites, the screenshot is just a short instance so I could take a screenshot with everything in.
And yes, I nerded it up because bots
After I run it against all the model codes I have I might release the results as a spreadsheet or something
so, anyone on forrst [url]http://forrst.com/i/Veb[/url] my name is Sam Roberts and I've just made an invite request, would be nice to get some votes because from what I can tell unless you know regulars to the site it's quite hard to get in

I believe you can join Forest without am invite if you login with a GitHub account. Sent a vote your way anyways, though!

Yeah, if you have enough repos on GitHub and your account is old enough.

Why did you give a bad response to the question you were asked?

I've never seen how people comment on forrst. I just did something brief because I didn't really know whether people preferred walls of text, bullet points, or if a small paragraph would be okay.

It looked completely out of context to me, I'm not even really sure what you were talking about. Long and useful answers are good and also encouraged. You get my vote but I think you might have had a bigger chance at getting in if you gave a better reply, since most of the people who don't know you will use that as a benchmark.
Here's an excerpt from the Forrst guidelines:
[quote][B]It's important to put effort and thoughtfulness into your posts and comments.[/B]
When composing posts and comments, being detailed is important, and please put a healthy amount of effort in to your writing. If you wouldn't feel comfortable writing that way to your boss or clients, please don't write that way on Forrst. Posting extremely terse posts will likely lead to that post being moderated. Instead of posting empty comments like "good work" or "love it", consider simply liking the post instead.[/quote]
I looked at other axes of the same art style because I thought the handle looked strange so I did think before I posted. I guess I just didn't word it particularly well?
[editline]24th July 2012[/editline]
at least it wasn't just "very nice" like I see on a lot of posts

When I opened the page this afternoon I saw your comment on a post asking for the features you like about frameworks.
[editline]24th July 2012[/editline]
And now I see your comment about a RoR app.
Edit: wait, that might not be you. It seems not to want to show your page now that I've cast my vote.
I'm incredibly confused. This is my page: [url]http://forrst.com/people/s_amroberts[/url], I've removed the comment that it seems to think was posted by me (pictured above) because it made me look dumb. I don't have any other comments, and everything works fine and dandy as it should.
I seriously don't know what was going on with the comments there, possibly somebody signing up in the past with the same name as me?

[QUOTE=zerotwelve;36906168]I can't put my finger on what's wrong with this, like someone above me said it does look slightly metro-y but you haven't completely nailed that feeling.

I'm terrible at constructive criticism, but it just looks a little boring and unimaginative. It looks like something you made after a little while in Photoshop and just said "yeah that'll do." In all honesty you probably shouldn't be taking advice from me, and I'm bad at wording things, but that's just what I think

It looks like a hodgepodge of different styles that don't work together at all. Parts of it also bear a remarking resemblance to kragmars' design.
am i the only one sick of seeing a million of the most-overused subtlepatterns.com backgrounds/textures shoved into every design
its not even that the images are bad its just like you went to subtlepatterns and saw a bunch of backgrounds you liked, then desperately put them everywhere on your site you could fit them, even though they don't go together or are too "busy"
