  • My website WIP

    #1
    Alright I haven't got to work on this for sometime since school started up, but I have some time now and I want to knock it out so that I have a website to send everyone to

    Here is what I have so far, I would say it's nearly complete but I want to do something with the navigation

    I got a lot of this from several different tutorials and just some playing around with different settings and images, and brushes as well

    Please be as brutal as possible without being a dick, thanks!

    Image is a bit too small to give a decent crit ... can you send larger, or a live link somewhere?

      You can click on the image.

      Too many textures for me, is there a point to them or is it just a style you like?

        I hope you're optimizing all the images for the web, and not just using "Save as".

          I like this style, I could think about taking the textures back but the only thing the textures are in are the bg and side bars really, I may change the images for the posts to not have textures because I'm not really feeling it

          yeah I will whenever I get to the point of slicing it up

            it's ok - kind of old school - 5-8yrs ago or so. And there are a lot of sites that have this same look.

            black text on the dark brown doesn't work well.

              You do have a point, there are a lot of designs out there that are like this, I'm really struggling to come up with something that is original and that I'm into, I don't know what to do

              This site is going to be basically a portfolio/blog for myself, I know something clean usually works but I don't have any sort of inspiration in my head right now

              Do you guys have and sites that serve the same purpose as mine that I can look at? Or have some tips on what looks good and works well with this kind of set up?

                A little hard to read on the nav bars.
                Are you really going to be selling ad space? Is this for your portfolio?

                  it's ok to have a grunge feel - you just need to develop it more - yours is currently kind of a bland grunge, which doesn't convey anything good.

                  Look here at a list of great websites utilizing texture:

                  some other good examples:

                    I'm thinking it may be more of affiliate websites that I don't get paid to have there, just other good sites to check out and maybe google ad words after the first 3 posts or something, not sure though
