Remember that old CnC thread I had about Personal Branding? Well, my semester is over and so I used some time to start wire-framing for WordPress. Here is what it looks like, and as always I would appreciate any constructive comments and/or criticism. Thanks. Miraj Patel - Web & Graphic Designer - Home Page
Suggestion: (red = correction) Otherwise, it looks a little cluttered? I'm no web designer lol so I'll end my critique here
I dig simplicity, though I'm not really liking how simple yours is. It's not that it's bad, it's just personal taste. You get to a point when a web-page is so simple it looks like somebody just knew background and color coding, and threw some text on it. Like I said, I know you know more than that, I'm just personally not digging to oversimplification. Your text seems to overlap with itself in awkward ways, "HEY THERE!" and "Let". Just a small fix. Other than that, I like the font choices and what have you, but really dislike the color palette you've got going on. It looks dingy.
Thanks for the feedback guys, I updated the site accordingly. RST, it's not a matter of showing how much you know. If I wanted to I could ***** a lot of "cool" effects into the site, but at the end it doesn't deliver what it's supposed to. It's harder to simplify a complex idea than to complicate it. Even though it doesn't look like I did much with it besides the background and colors, I have done a lot to make sure it's simple. Oh, I also fixed the slider and it can now move with arrow keys.
Yeah, I'm not digging the broken colors in your introductory paragraph. I get that the green, red and yellow are you accents and all but I don't find it to be very simple. The way it breaks is hard to read in my opinion. (Hard to keep focus and what not). The quotes are cool -- I really like them but without the content, it seems like it's jumbled. I'm sure if there were more articles, it'd be better. Those are article preview, right? (Like the ones where you click "read more..")
I would slightly increase the point size on your links in the upper right, and I would cut down on the emphasis colours in that intro paragraph, it is just too busy.
