Please step inside and review the new mock design/skin for my website, pics included!

[verbs]

I would love to get some constructive feedback from everyone on this, let me know if you think anything should be changed! Please be specific!



The big picture banners on the top, bottom and sides won't be there for now, that's just an option for later. The logo will also be animiated, and when you first enter the site a green apple falls from the sky into place where the "O" in Obesity is and it starts to rotate slowly and turns into the "O." Also, there are dozens of forums so you won't see the grass on the top and bottom at the same time.



Please understand that this is a mock design, and the words will all be changed, forum names, etc, so please just focus on the overall design.



Thanks!

I really like it =]

Don't see what all the grass and stuff has to do with obesity never the less its a good skin only criticism is you can see where the background repeats

the background repeating should be fixed; good eye, you're only the 2nd person who noticed this :D



....and that's one of the comments I keep getting is "what do the grass/leaf theme have to do with obesity." My closest explanation is committing to weight loss is like a fresh start, and that the site promotes natural weight loss through healthy eating and exercise.....Fresh/Natural=outdoors?

I think it suits your site the grass i don't know why but it does =]

But grass is connected with obesity that was my criticism but like i said i can't explain why but it seems like it should be there :D
