trying something different

[smacklan]

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.

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.
