Re: My new rough

I like the concept of a dragon on your page! A couple things I might look at a bit more. The main thing I would change and improve upon is the type on a line. If you want mountains in the background I would just draw them in and put the type somewhere else. It just looks a bit clunky in spots and do...

Re: My Second Rough is up.

Another fix you can do to get around the whole search engine thing would be to design your page how you want with whatever font you want in photoshop then just copy the text and put it in the html on top of the image, put a class on the paragraph or headline and just use css to hide it from the brow...

Re: My Second Rough is up.

I dont know how savy you are with css but you can use the font-family style to make certain families of fonts to be rendered depending on what the viewer has installed on their computer. Or you can try using the @font-face style which will embed a licensed truetype or opentype font in your page and ...

Re: Question

unless your making your site for grandmas who still have dial up I don't think you need to worry to much about a gradient or two in your site. Just don't add a 20k x 20k pixel background or anything.

Re: My Second Rough is up.

Looks good. The centered font is killing me though. Centered is the worst for legibility especially with how long your line length is. I would recommend changing the alignment and possibly adding a bit more of a margin between your paragraph and the containing element. It would shorten your line len...

Re: Ashleigh Porterfield's Project One Preliminary Comps

Third one is cool as well, they only thing is where is your content going to go if you navigation is in the middle of the page. Would the page be longer(scroll down type of thing)? Could also be cool if you took the opacity usage from your second one and used it on the third to put your content in s...

Re: Ashleigh Porterfield's Project One Preliminary Comps

First one is clean but the tree just seems to be sitting there. If you wanted to go with that one I would try to incorporate everything together maybe have your links coming off the tree branches or something. Personally I enjoy the second one, I like how you played with opacity to let the circles c...
