Still in early stages, but what do yall think so far......

The far left button is below where it should be and will be fixed tonight so no comments on that

But everything else...let er rip !!

Hey!

I love the green colour, very bright but you've managed to tone it down so it doesn't blind your eyes! Good use of flash in the header, the buttons are nice (love the rollover effect).

Im not too keen on the overall design.

For starters the colour scheme doesn't really scream music too me. I would have gone with dark red, browns etc. Also there isn't much hinting at the fact that its a music related site. Sure there is the header but the rest just doesn't really feel that musically. Maybe you could have the odd one or two musical notes in the background. Furthermore there is a large amount of text which I'm sure most people will get bored of reading, I certainly would. I know its just a mockup but include some photographs/images. As is obvious you are using flash, if possible you should try and include some kind of animation which is ongoing in the background, as well as some music. Since it is after all a music site it would seem fitting.

I like it. I'm not a fan of using the thin-line background, partly because the left-side (the fade) is funky sometimes and really does make a minor difference.

I don't like how the button looks when you are on a particular page, but I think its just me because it works. I don't have too much to add for this one, its just nice - neat really.

Although, I can't help but think I've seen something that resembled this site before. Not saying its a possible rip, I just think it's been inspired. Perhaps the background?

I dont actually like the way the green is.. There is WAY too much of it. I think that a variation in the colors would make it much better.

Well the text is just to make sure that the hybrid part worked ok, and it does...time to work on content now...

The green was a special request to use ALL green.... I am lucky I got the ok to use a little of the cream color.

The design is "Inpired", "Ripped" ? Please enlighten me......

What is up with the buttons? What do you mean how it looks?

Thanks for all the comments ya'll...keep um coming!

It's too green in my own opinion.. It needs another color or two to keep it in check and still keep it interesting..

The green's ok, you have made it work well.

I don't like the way you have blurred the header text, buttons and all. I have perfect vision and this technique you have used makes me strain to view the text properly.

I also like the rollover effect for the buttons. Unfortunately, there's way too much green going on... The text on the header and the buttons are kinda blurry so that would need fixing. I do like the overall concept of the design though.

Yeah...The header text and button text will be different.....

I need to get approval to use a different font cause the font that is used is jaggy....

Anyone know of a font like Evanescence, but is done well?

The content area will have much more contrast of colors......I agree the green is over powering currently


Thanks again for all the comments......
