My monitor is really dark, so they looked fine until I saw them on a good screen. I'll have to fix that... Edit: Ok, I messed with the pictures, but I'm not sure they're right. Are they still kinda choppy? This post has been edited by Bub: Jan 31 2006, 09:14 PM

I mean, a cutted circle, for a layout...is not a great idea dude. Try doing something better, like a banner on top, and content boxes down the banner.

GMC Member Group: GMC Member Posts: 348 Joined: 17-November 05 From: United States Member No.: 38999	Thanks for the input, LaRiN. Yeah, the 'cutted circles' are supposed to hint at the sun, but I guess the effect didn't work out...

It seems that the banner-with-boxes design is the current "fad" here at the GMC. Something different is good. (not that I can talk, seeing as how my site fits that category). When your images are improved, then you'll have a nice site, Bub. I like your content (the penguin "game" is highly amusing )

GMC Member Group: GMC Member Posts: 348 Joined: 17-November 05 From: United States Member No.: 38999	Alright, so I totally changed the layout, so check it out. It's just the simple banner-on-top-with-a-horizontal-nav-bar-underneath design. What do you think? Better?

GMC Member Group: GMC Member Posts: 348 Joined: 17-November 05 From: United States Member No.: 38999	It's actually not centered, Robobot. I just have the whole thing positioned 10% from the left, so at 1024x768 res it looks centered. I'll try to get it centered, Osprey. Ok, now it's centered.

I think it shouldn't just be the heading, navigation bar, then content... but have some bars on either side too. Very nice site though; Content isn't too bad although those images were a little... lame? Regards Rhys

GMC Member Group: GMC Member Posts: 348 Joined: 17-November 05 From: United States Member No.: 38999	heh heh. Yeah the images are kinda juvenile. It's what I do when I get bored, and I only use MS Paint, so they're pretty 'meh'. I wanted to go with a simple layout since I have such simple content, so I really don't think I need sidebars. Thanks for postin', Rhys.
