Website Layout Design

​

 

Give that top nav bar a little more substance maybe, the buttons are just floating, other that that, absolutely love it, it resembles the official site a lot

 

nice, but have to agree with viviant, I would put the top nav bar to full opacity.

 

Always loved your work Kinaesthic, however I feel that your navigation bar looks out of place over in the right corner. Maybe it should all be centred. So, your banner at the top and then your bar underneath that.

Also; is this a project you're working on?

 

Looks really good. Only thing I don't like is the font, it doesn't stand out enough and makes the whole thing look a little bland. Also like Joshuar said, the navigation bar is lacking something, not sure what. Overall, good design though.

 

All your shadows are too strong and too direct - never would the light source be directly from where the person is looking, rather from below would seem far more natural in accordance with your layer styles. With strength, lower them to around 30-50% opacity, any more and they look wholly fake (like a black glow rather than a shadow) - the only case where thick shadows work is if they're small, around 1-4px.

Background elements need sharpening, banner sides are too bluntly brushed black making it look tacky.

Working with layer styles that give the impression of light coming from below is odd too - unless you fully think all of it through, just go for descending light.

 

This is how you give somebody some feedback. I've missed you Dani.

 

The header imo is iffy. Its just like three different pictures mashed together and their quality isn't really good. I would recommend going back of that. Other than that it looks nice.

 

Overall, it's pretty hot. The one major criticism I'd have are all of the dark text titles. There's not enough contrast between them and the backgrounds, so they, in a way, blend into the back and aren't' as noticable. Lighten those up and I'd say you're good to go man.
