Description I've been working on a new design for my blog for a while now - months in fact. I've just completed the design and am starting to have second thoughts. I need to work in some colour perhaps?

If you have any suggestions please feel free to post them! I'm trying to move away from the clean, vector style of my current site [link] and work more with textures and subtle grunge effects. I'm also moving my web portfolio to another domain and putting the focus of ChiGarden on my blog and character design.

Thoughts?

Oh my gosh, I love your "subscribe" dinosaur! It's adooorable

Hm, I love it the way it is, but it looks like it could do with a bit more colour in the body of the page. My eyes is really drawn to the heading, but not to the content.

looking very spiffy, though I find the categories font a tad too big, its bigger than the categories heading, which seems odd

Love the texture that you used and the water spots at the top I agree w/ SourisMaus about the rainbow.

It might use a little more color effects but I love the layout and the little character icons

Oooooooo i likeys, very pretty. i see you used the wood texture very nice. It looks a lil empty on the bottom left and right corner though, maybe some cool patterns or textures would be nice in the colours you've use at the top of web page or something like thats, but looking very speccy already's anyways, looking forward to seeing it finished, *sexual chocolate*.

I humbly request you quit being so awesome D: ... I'm so far behind learning webdesign because I've just been working and schooling ._. ... I love it. Brown and pink are one of the yummiest colour combinations, and the swath of rainbow makes it even better.

Great!

SourisMaus [2008-05-08 15:28:07 +0000 UTC]

The way you could add color is take the rainbow from the top, flip it, and the put it behind the recent stuff, ads, and cool people.

Mmm, that side does need something more speccy doesn't it? Thanks for the suggestion, I'll try that!

SourisMaus In reply to chisa [2008-05-09 08:04:36 +0000 UTC]

I forgot to add because I'm a butthead like that, but I really like it as it is anyways. That suggestion was just because I know as an artist I always find problems even when there are none.
