Ok.

<img src='http://creativeblank.com/imagedump/newdesign3.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' />

With moving webhosts, i'm redesigning my site all shiny for the new domain.

This shot is a work in progress, there's some things i'm working on that i know will change (for instance the font / look of the headings, also the text), so if i either ignore your point or bark down your throat, that's because it's probably on my mental list. Heh.

One thing that will not change, the colours. I'm keeping it pink. Feel free to comment on colour usage or give suggestions, but don't say "make it not pink."

So yeah, comments and criticism please. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->


EDIT: Just incase anyone does ask. The render of the ash tray was done in 3D Studio (smoke included), then tweaked a little in Photoshop to look less ****. Everything else is done in Photoshop. The text down the site is the font "onakite."

    Very nice, creative work, innovative.

    The pink is good, it is different, definitely keep it. My only complaint is that ( combined with the large amounts of white) it's a little hard to look at for extended periods. Personally, I like to stick to earthy orange and blue or such, but hey, whatever rocks your boat.

    My only other comment would be the real lack of a header, or something that immediately draws your attention and intro's you to the page, briefly.

    While the ashtray and cigs are very well done, they don't stand out enough that you are pulled to them immediately. I might suggest a backround stripe?

    The way "creative blank" is incorporated into the side is nicely done. But again, I personally feel there should be something that immediately catched your eye.

    Ok, I think i Just did what you specifically asked everyone not to do. Sh**.

    Also, might be cool if the cigs were used as the links? maybe animated gifs?

    Eyes... Goggles... Nothing...


    It's a personal taste, but the pink... It's.... Pink.

    Esuna, you are SUCH a girl.
    I think that the ciggies don't fit, perhaps turn them into a two-tone pink/white style thingy, like the Scarface poster?

    Heh, the reason behind it.

    Whenever i'm working on designs, i smoke, it helps me think and stay relaxed. Also throughout my creative blank (Yes, the domain name has a purpose) it's the only thing that's helped me stay calm enough to come up with any inspiration. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->


    Spacer, i could give that a shot. I'll recolour the butts to be pink and see how it looks. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
