trying something different
 

As the thread title says...still a work in progress but you will get the general idea. Thoughts, criticisms? Thanks :)

That's gorgeous. :up:

Ooh yes, that's really lovely! Nice to see something so sleek, inviting and elegant, and not the typical layout at all. I'd pick it up in a heartbeat.

The only suggestion I'd make is that for these 39-year-old eyes, the pale greenish-blue text font doesn't have enough contrast against the white backgrounds. What do you think about trying a darker color, perhaps one that matches the middle part of the background gradient?

Otherwise, it's soooooo pretty. Bravo!

Edited to Add: I just realized that all of your recent designs are heavy on the soft greens and blues. They're nice but they're starting to blend together a bit -- especially Shine, Smooth & Reflections. Maybe start creating more designs in a variety of shades? Just a thought, I still love this design. :)

i like it keep up the good work;)

awsome design, very calming and easy to the eyes, might be a bit to hard to read for some people, but I like it ;) Very nice, A++

Now that is a skin design that I really like. If you're going to offer it for sale I'd consider buying up a copy for the new site I'm working on.

My only suggestion would be to use darker text for greater contrast.

I love the design, and the logo is outstanding.

I have to agree on using darker text for greater contrast (but not a big deal, I just perfer more legible text...)

:)

thanks for taking the time to look and the kind remarks! I agree the text is hard to read and have darkened it up some ;) This one still needs all the small images completed and will be up for sale when 3.6 goes gold :)

You already know I love the design it's original and it's got a calm feeling about it. I also stated that I wasn't so sure about the cyan colours but (that was down to preference) on my part. Overall I love the style, it's unique and I really love the vectored icons implemented on the graphics.

I feel the category text should be changed to a more prominant colour so it's not so hard to read on the light coloured background, and possibly add a drop shadow on the doc icons which are embedded onto the buttons.

One of your best styles by far.

WOW!!! I will make sure to buy this one when you put it up, it is absolutely beautiful! Excellent job!!
