 Posted: Thu Nov 21, 2013 5:32 pm Post subject: Comments/Critique wanted for web design interface |
 |
|
Hello!
I am new here, and would like some feedback on a design I am doing for our new state foosball site. It's going to have a lot of information, but I am just the designer, and leave the coding and scripts to another guy.
I have 2 styles...
1) A clean table-like layout.
I have tried putting in content and tables into this to see how good it will look, and so far just dead ends. I can't seem to come up with a visually exciting look for this flat non-textured interface.
2) A more textured, 3D look.
I honestly like the textured 3D look better, but I have a few concerns with it. Namely how is it going to look when I add text and content. Also how hard will it be to code updating information using these graphics. In addition, I think the "3D" textured look might be a little..."yesterday". Like..the style is old and played out.
Any thoughts? Comments?
I really don't mind critiques, that's how I get better. Although I am really attached to the main banner/logo.

Oops, it didn't take the cleaner look...so here is that version. It's slightly different because I am designing different themes for different times of the year.
Thanks!

Just wondering, did the "other guy" tell you how the website is going to be made? As in the coding and scripting? As I just copied that link to my browser and your design doesn't really transfer well (yet).
Cause I know if I do stuff like that right bar and give it to my CSS guy to translate it into a CMS template I basically get beat up for giving him a hard time.
There's some things I like and some things I dislike but that's in any design I guess.
My overall point of advice to improve would be to figure out what elements of your design can be translated from the image to code.
(For example: A gradient background could fade from black to a grey like #111111 and be as long as that gradient is, have #111111 on the background colour, just be 1px wide and tiled horizontally across the top.)

Thanks for the thoughts!
Right now, I'm trying to figure out the design part, and then deal with the scripting part. the actual "www.cofoosball.com site is just a forum right now, but you can see how it's working on the actual site.
I did think of the blending at the bottom for scrolling, and I Was thinking that the red side bar would be inside of a table, with all the graphical parts as table cell backgrounds? The old site had that all scripted out, but it was just flat colors.
I guess right now, I'm looking for thoughts on the 2 different directions without considering the coding. If my friend says it's too complicated (he's really badass though, so we'll see), then I guess I'll have no choice but to make the plain one have some more life.
Thanks!
