Working on a homepage design.... [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/70PuG.png[/IMG] Any suggestions??
[QUOTE=adamjon858;35357560]Working on a homepage design.... [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/70PuG.png[/IMG] Any suggestions??[/QUOTE] That is really nice. It's clean, professional and somewhat gives it that nice minimal effect. The content's width should align with the navigation's though, and should also have round corners ( maby 3px ).
The grey box with the text in it should be the entire width of the main body. Then it would just look like a different background rather than a box.

Negative margins are so under-rated

The fabric background does look nice though and the glowing streaks.

The fabric background does look nice though and the glowing streaks.[/QUOTE] Yeah I was thinking that with the background as well, I thought it might have just been my monitor, and I'm using: [css] background-image: linear-gradient(bottom, rgb(58,59,58) 0%, rgb(34,34,34) 100%); background-image: -o-linear-gradient(bottom, rgb(58,59,58) 0%, rgb(34,34,34) 100%); background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(bottom, rgb(58,59,58) 0%, rgb(34,34,34) 100%); background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(bottom, rgb(58,59,58) 0%, rgb(34,34,34) 100%); background-image: -ms-linear-gradient(bottom, rgb(58,59,58) 0%, rgb(34,34,34) 100%); background-image: -webkit-gradient( linear, left bottom, left top, color-stop(0, rgb(58,59,58)), color-stop(1, rgb(34,34,34)) ); [/css]
Try this, its got slight shades of blue in it but that means there are more colors to draw so there is less striping, also why are you using background-image? [css] background: linear-gradient(bottom, rgb(49,52,53) 0%, rgb(33,37,40) 100%); background: -o-linear-gradient(bottom, rgb(49,52,53) 0%, rgb(33,37,40) 100%); background: -moz-linear-gradient(bottom, rgb(49,52,53) 0%, rgb(33,37,40) 100%); background: -webkit-linear-gradient(bottom, rgb(49,52,53) 0%, rgb(33,37,40) 100%); background: -ms-linear-gradient(bottom, rgb(49,52,53) 0%, rgb(33,37,40) 100%); [/css]

I like that background. How'd ya do it?
Four passes of shapes lens blurred at 100px radius thrice, 1 pass of monochromatic circles, 1 pass of my choice of color palleted circles, 1 pass over everything using monochromatic circles again, and a final pass with the same color pallet. Each layer is something like 10% or 25% opacity, and I do this all over a black background due to the less saturated scheme. Though you can choose vivid colors and start with an equally vivid color as your background. This will create something more lively than what I've done. The result I got with the color scheme I used was something blandish and calm. [url]http://www.colourlovers.com/palette/490780/The_First_Raindrop[/url] [editline]faux-automerge[/editline] There's basically a lot of blurring going on to create something worse looking in visual reproduction than traditional synthetic radial or polygonal bokeh.

If I flat out tell someone "it sucks, start over" it's completely different than saying "it could be improved, but it has potential". They're both versions of saying the same thing, one's being a massive cunt, the other, not so much. You're acting as if it's the worst thing you've ever seen, it's really not that bad. It'll look completely different once it's full of content.

wow nj guys your poopoo posts are worse than my background

That is only what you think, and it makes quite a deal of difference. However agreeable upon your opinion is, stating a thing as fact and in an aggressive way is bound to spawn a shitstorm.
