Hello,

I made this site for a friend a while back, it was my first real 'solo' effort. The original site can be seen if you use the 'wayback machine', it looked ever so dated. Hopefully, mine's better but I'd like some constructive feedback (it's the only way to get better at what we do). So, here we go... OTW Designs.

Let me know what you think. Good, bad, ugly... etc.

Cheers.

I think that you need try to make a new design. Blue background (underwater in a ocean) and a white paper or like a submarines interface: http://nevsedoma.com.../3/Submarir.jpg

Okay but why exactly? Can you tell me what's wrong with the current one (in your opinion)?

I don't think the design is as bad as our friend Pasha4ur thinks it is. It seems consistent enough in the layout and quite well structured.

I would change the logo... which to me looks like it was made using Word Art and the background apart from that it's not bad

My English is too bad to explain why. I went to Google and found that many sites about the submarine models are not cool. You can be first with a cool site. Try


I would create a site which reminded of war or service in army and have been executed in same style. But you'll need good skills in Photoshop.

Some stocks for you:

Those are some pretty cool backgrounds, bit heavy on the pic sizes - bearing in mind this is already a pic/vid heavy site. I deliberately strayed away from that sort of thing because a) my photoshop skills aren't that good and it's all about the submarine models - so I let them speak for themselves if you see what I mean? I do like the idea in principal though. Too late now of course - project is over.

Ouch... Yes well, you mean the 'OTW DESIGNS' bit - I went for a 'cut from a steal plate' look, reminded me of the side of a ship or something or the blue fish thing? The fish was by specific request of the client -it's their logo and it's 'historic' too (was the logo on the side of the Type 7 or something, during the war). I just made it a tiny bit more '3D' with some shading.

Thanks for the feedback everyone.
