Brendon Branigin 0 Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 I've been hired to do a website for the California 3rd district PTA (my aunt runs it) and I have just finished the first 2 designs. Im open to suggestions and feedback.These are just photoshop layout templates right now (I.E theres no coding done yet)#1 (my favorite uses modified PTA logo)http://img48.imageshack.us/my.php?image=sample16gz.jpg#2 (uses their personal logo district logo)http://img202.imageshack.us/my.php?image=sample29yu.jpgconstructive criticism is welcome Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Taviii 0 Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 The first one definitely looks better, it has an aura of professionalism on it. The pink one looks like a little girls blog. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brendon Branigin 0 Posted March 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Thanks for the input, Im at a standstill until the PTA chooses which one they like so i decided to start working on my portfolio's new layout. tell me what you guys thinkhttp://img122.imageshack.us/my.php?image=concept19gk.jpg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
boen_robot 107 Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 If it wasn't for a portfolio, I would have said it sucks in comparrison with the previous ones .Well, I think it might be good if the links were avaiable hirizontally or placed below the search, instead of vertically on the right top, but maybe it's just me.

You could use a nice picture for a header etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Skemcin 13 Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 I'd go with either:http://img48.imageshack.us/my.php?image=sample16gz.jpgorhttp://img240.imageshack.us/my.php?image=concept25ny.jpgBoth have obvious navigation and simple layouts. The first might offer a little more flexibilty because of its left column, but that wouldn't be so hard to add to the second one either. I'd stretch both designs out to 750 pixels wide - they seem a little narrow. But they are great choices.This one (http://img202.imageshack.us/my.php?image=sample29yu.jpg) is too pink and therefore implies the PTA is focusing on women. Fathers need to be and are involved and I, personally, would have a hard time visiting that site if it were my PTA.The navigation in this one (http://img122.imageshack.us/my.php?image=concept19gk.jpg) is tucked away in the corner. I recently redeveloped a site for a client who's site had its parent navigation in the upper right hand corner almost exactly like that - people hated it. People want to see the parent navigation, they don;t want to look for it - especially for this type of site. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
