Hey all,

 

Apologies if I've posted this in the wrong place

 

Just wanted to let you all know that I am currently working on a new layout and have put a screenshot of it on my blog at blogspot and I've added some details on what I would like my new layout to achieve.

 

Please visit it and let me know what you all think.

 

You're feedback will be most appreciated.

 

Kind Regards,

Ren

yeah i think its different and i like it! i like the green woven fabric and the range of greens in the fabric, it goes really well with the black. i'm not too sure about the writting with the black background over the fabric though, same with the welcome header. and i exeriment with other fonts for legiblity if it was me.

Hi BrownWarrior,

 

Thanks for your reply. I will experiment with the writing font and background color. I thought to keep the black background on the text to make the text easier to read as text on the fabric background is rather diffficult to read. Any tips around this obstacle will be most appreciated.

 

I'll have a play around with the font and experiment with the background color for the text when i get home.

 

Kind Regards,

Hi

 

You have come on a ton already.

 

If we didn’t experiment and make mistakes we would never learn a thing.

 

Everything is clear, readable and neat.

 

Attitude is everything and encouragement is the way forward.

Hi Peter,

 

Thank you for those words of encouragement, glad to hear that everything I've done is clear and neat..so far so good.

 

Keep well,

I like! Agree totally with BW on the text tho. Somehow it breaks up the look you've created with the woven fabric.

 

It is really orignal..well done!

Hi Guezala,

 

Thank you for your feedback, I'm glad to hear that you're liking the look of the site so far, I'm yet to take another screenshot of my finished homepage, once I have I will post here again and let you all know you can all get a small update with the layout.

 

What do you mean when you said "BW on the text tho. Somehow it breaks up the look you've created with the woven fabric."

 

I hope to hear from you again.

Hey

 

Basically it cuts up what i think is really nice pattern and the way it's cut out of the 'fabric' isn't really in keeping with the woven theme. The chunks where the text is is just too smooth for it.

 

I'm not entirely sure how you could incorperate the text in better..the first thing i thought was some form of stitching effect with the writing?

 

The others prob would have a better idea of something that works.

 

Sorry about being vague..good luck!

Hey Guezala,

 

Thanks for the reply and getting back to me. Ahhhh okay, I understand what you mean, I'll look into more ways I can integrate the text with the woven background, I'll try some stitch text tutorials (more like find some) and see how that pans out.

 

You can view a more updated screen shot of my homepage here.

 

I'd like to hear from you (and everyone else).

 

Many Thanks,

Ren
