Original Designs Draft Design - Simple

Looking for a simple design, yet something that has a little "artisticness" to it.. :) This is just a draft design.. Anyone got some ideas to throw in? :)

UPDATE: New design with a new logo. The other one wasn't going no where special: http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s...b/932070e7.png

change the colors and make it not monochrome.
maybe put the text on the half circles coming down?

I'll see if I can change up the colors a bit.. Any suggestions on what colors go with that general color? I'd like to keep the main colors the color it is.. I think it's better on the eyes as well with less contrast.. :)

What do you meant by "put the text on the half circles coming down"?
I'm not following.. ;)

OK.. I scratched that design out because it wasn't going anywhere.. :p Here's a new design with an updated logo.. :)

Hum.....the whole thing seems way to 2-dimensional.

Try to use a different name then "designs"

Way overused =P

the logo is kinda..Busy too. Maybe try something not as busy?

OK.. I've changed the body colors to match the header more AND I've converted it into and HTML page. None of the links work yet due to lack of time and some more changes I may be making to it. As for the logo, the last updated logo is the one I've chosen to keep. Yeah, I know designs is probably way overused, but what else was I supposed to use? It'll be print designs that I'll be selling so I figured that was the best name.

As for being too two dimensional, that's OK to me. I don't need it in 3D. I just need it simple, clean, and to-the-point. I don't want too many fancies because of the large amounts of images/thumbnails I'll have throughout the site. All the page images will be stored in a main directory which means once you load the main page, the actual site design will pull up from the temporary files. Basically, it'll only load everything once. :)

Aight, based on what I've mentioned above, lemme know you all's thoughts.. ;)



**Duh.. Forgot the link: http://www.wolvesforchrist.com/originaldesigns/

*Oh yeah.. Don't click the menu buttons.. They go back to the other design template.. :p


EDIT:
I've just updated all the pages. Most of the text is now updated and the design is now the same throughout the site.. :)

Not bad at all! I don't usually like many designs I see, but this one definitely works. I don't even have a problem with it. Great job!

Wow.. Thanks! :) I'm really liking this new update too.. I'm hoping to finally get this thing going.. :) Got at least 5+ people wanting to help with the site and about that many interested in the submissions part of it. So far, they all like the new design too.. :)

Thanks for your reply! ;)

I kindoff like it!
It's a bit monochrome or however you say, it's only green.
But... your code definatly needs some work, some major work.
you have all html styles no css wich makes your code look horrible.

I know this isn't a programming forum but I just wanted to tell you :).

The image was deleted.

*Tastyfish: I know the code must look really really bad.. I use FrontPage to create the site.. I don't know HTML enough to actually write my own website. I know how to edit some of it and where to go to make a change, but that's about it. CSS is really new to me and I know it's a really good thing to have too. Do you have any suggestions about the coding side of the site that may be of some help? Would totally appreciate it.. ;)

As for the monochrome colors, it's more like just two colors.. :p But yeah, I see where you're coming from.. ;)

I know alot of stuff you can change, and it will make editing alot easier, i barerly found your headings in that code :).
Basiclly try to write a seperate .css file wich you include into your html with <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="yourcss.css" />
Then use span or div's to call on your id's or classes (in your css).
Id's are for items used only ones and Classes are for styles that are used alot.
There are allready some "fixed" or preexistent classes and id's like Body and h1 etc for some general html tags.

Sheesh.. I have no idea what you just posted.. :p I understand what you are saying, but I don't know the code or what's certain things for.. ;)

Go to htmldog
They have some really god tutorials/introductions on html with css styling! :)
