So as mentioned in a previous post, my site is currently in the process of being redesigned which is the reason for it’s current really simplistic look. Well Fonzy sent me an update with his proposed designs:
So out of all four designs I chose to go with the fourth one. It reminds me of design I was thinking about when I had graduated from the Art Institue of Phoenix. There are some elements from the other designs that I want to combine into the final version but I think number 4 is a good start.
Since I realize my design skills aren’t focused on graphic design for the web, I did a little search for some tips and for some really nice designed sites that were done with dark colors. I found the following links:
30 Dark Designs You Should Have Seen – Some samples of dark colored sites.
50 Dark Beautiful Web Designs – More samples of really nice dark colored sites.
Web Designing: All you Need to know – This link has a summary of what to think about when designing a site, and towards the bottom are several articles to other tips and techniques when designing asite.
So I’m gonna toy around with the ideas Fony has given me, some of my previous ideas, and some new ideas I’ve gotten from the above links for my final site design. Lets see how things turn out. C ya.
