Artists Website

Decided to make the main center page a bit more interesting by merging this tattered background into it. Iv'e also faded some coffee stains and splatters into it as well to make it look worn and tattered, think it looks better?

Artists Website Update

I have decided to create a website for my house mate Adam Walden who is a Graphic design student at Nottingham Trent in his 3rd year. He is looking for a website to promote some of the work he has been doing over the past few years and hopefully i will be able to make a good one for him.

Rockatee:

This is the website 'Rockatee' created by Maleika Esther Attawel, a freelance web designer living in Germany.

http://www.rockatee.com/portfolio/

Good:

The home page is very striking and extremly well designed, using a few different over lapping elements included in the header and main body. Yet the colour still isn't over powering
The RSS feed at the bottom of the page oviously keeps the user up to date with the most recent blog entries.
Simple to use navigation, with some more important parts made into giant buttons to make it even easier to get to.
Fills the screen nicely, even with such a big screen as background isn't one solid bit of colour, it intesad has a nice slight pattern to it.
The about page is well done, as it helps you to get the know what they are like in a simple, and fairly quick way.
The portfolio page is well layed out and easy to use.

Bad:

On the home page and the Portfolio page, smack bang in the middle of everything is a big picture of her latest project, which is a bit distracting, and doesn't quite fit with the rest of the site design.
The RSS feed is at the bottom of every page, even the blog page, which has the exact same things on. Also, i think it is a bit too much having the last 4 posts as it is quite a lot of text in a mainly image run site.
Can't view full websites from her portfolio page.
All of the pages match with second header and overlapping boxes apart from blog page.

Things I would take away from it:

The use of colours, not just using 2 bright colours, instead use a range of flatter colours.
Use a set of subtle repeating backgrounds, draws you in no matter what screen size.

Another re-work of Jugglers!

I know I havn't really posted much about this re-work but here it is, not 100% done yet but it's almost there! I have to say, I MUCH prefer this one to the previous! Pretty sire everyone else can see why too!
