There is too big contrast between black font and the white background. You should read something about fonts and light on webdesigns. It's very helpfull.
When you use font size bigger than 12px (like headers for example) u should use anti-alias or some other smoothing method.

PS. Sorry for my english

Well, first of all, thanks for your comment.
In my opinion I dont see the "huge" contrast that you're talking about, Black over white, it's the best color combination to increase the legibilit after Black over Yellow. There's a big contrast, I know, but I need that navigators direct their eyes to these titles

By the way, I don't see where I should used antialasing in a font. The title of the stream-video it's embed in a iframe, so it cant be "antialiased", and the rest that is not "antialiased" is a small font size.

I repeat, thanks for your comments and critics, much apreciatted.

Well, if your talking about the navigators - that one that is selectet looks too simple to me.
And again if the contrast is to big it hurts the eyes of the reader.
And the anti-alias thing. You know the ClearType effect in your display properties?
Everyone now is using it and that affects the look of the fonts on the sites.
I belive tht font bigger than 12px should be smooth on the project.
Cheers!

But people the antialase it's not used in content - fonts. In this design are content fonts: "Menú", "Taller Alvar Aalto- 4º Día", "Búsqueda general", "Búsqueda avanzada ayuda", "Submenu". So these fonts cant be antialiased I don't know if I'm explaining good. The rest of the fonts ("Noticias", "Actividades", "Catálogos"...) are smooth with the Antialiasing option.

You are explaining it great but you're wrong about content fonts couldn't be smooth.
I'm starting to think you are using an old computer with win 98 or somthing.

I've got smoother fonts on... youtube even, than on your project.
Don't know... maybe you don't have that ClearType effect on that I mentioned.
Go to [link] or type 'ClearType effect' in google. I've got smooth content on every site even if the font is Courier.

I'm using a Core Duo 3Ghz, Windows XP. I have no graphic problems, but the use or not of the Cleartype it's relative. Some people likes it and some people dislikes. I have the Cleartype mode off in the OS.
I don't like it enough. Also in deviantART there're designers that use Cleartype and designers that dont use it. For example, is this designed using Cleartype?

a) [link]
b) [link]
c) [link]

BTW, how to apply a Cleartype in Photoshop CS3? May I need a Plug-in?

You may be right about that relativity.
About the designes you have send, I see everybody knows what is making the font looks soft but not everybody use it right.
In my opinion every content font, bigger than 12px, should be smoth because the effect of ClearType is most visible on them. The 12px fonts and the smaller fons looks similar with CT on or of.
About CT in Photoshop - I have not noticed such an option so I use antialiasing. Mostly Smooth.

Well, I repeat, it's relative, your opinion is that every content font bigger than 12px should be Smooth. And my opinion it's that some fonts should be smooth and some should be sharped (as you can see in this deviation). I know people that hates the smooth content-fonts. So we have opposite opinions/points of view (what it's really god imo). Nice to talk with you about this ^^.

Es bastante vistoso, aunque demasiado snob para mi gusto, lo cual junto a las señas del ministerio y tal se le quede demasiado grande.

I like it. Un diez, pásate por mi ficha guap0.

Estoy de acuerdo contigo xD, demasiado snob. De hecho viendo eso te esperas un museo increíble, pero lo cierto es que como museo deja mucho que desear:

[link] <-Su página actual...

Vinieron a clase dos representantes del Museo, para hablarnos del museo, y decirnos lo que buscaban expresar con la nueva página. Querían darle un enfoque mucho más moderno (porque por lo visto solo van abuelas al museo), pero tuviera un toque tradicional, no se, nos dieron una charla y nos pusieron fotos del museo. Desde luego no tenía una pinta demasiado buena :S, pero yo obedezco órdenes xD.

"It's not bad?" hehe, sounds like "really really improvable". The title typo is Neue Helvetica, and the rest, Arial.

You mean the "red label"? What's the problem on your opinion? The label, the icons, color, or typo?
