is it just me or is the blue and orange, just not working together?
hehe... well i hope its just you david :)
i thought it kinda worked. had some good feedback on it too.
why would it not work together? it's almost a complementary colour-effect. so it works really...
might be my monitor, just seemed to vibrate a bit ;).
i think the exact compliement for that color blue is a more yellow color than orange, but i do understand that you are tring to get away from the yellow.
<edit previous> - i'm wrong. i just looked at it on Color Schemer and its the exact compliement. just doing funny things on my eyes i guess.
i know what you mean - can be really tricky. that's why i always check colours on 2 different monitors. just to be safe. ;)
Whew... had me worried there David :P
glad you like it now... now I wonder wat the stylegala moderators will think of it :)
well, MarkB, it's an extreme case of hardcore-self-promotion. what do you think what SG mods will do?
lol i didnt say i like it now, i just said that the colors are indeed compliements ;). i still think they vibrate too much.
and you need more padding around your elements, loos crowded now, and in the portfolio section there is an aweful lot of unused space. the content is good and well worth the read. but i think the presentation is still lacking a bit. not alot but not enough to get into a gallery yet IMHO.
Thats really helpful commentary David, thank you. (altho i'm keepin the colors :P :D)
I've tweaked the layout of the portfolio and I reckon its a lot better, wat you think: www.yellow-llama.com/portfolio/
Appreciate all your guys feedback. thank you....
i like what you did in the portfolio section. i still think you need more padding especially on the home page. lots of text needs more space, i think you have 3px padding needs to be at least 10px i think
i have the same mouse as Wayne ;) you'll figure that one out later lol
i agree with david on the colors. on my powerbook, it's really hard on the eyes. the contrast on the first headline (currently: SA Music Quotas) seems good, but elsewhere on the page ... eeek.
also some weird indentation going on with (only) some of the sub-heads (ie: The Un-Fortunate By-Product of Democracy) and the portfolio images.
might also be nice if the images linked.
seems more like a post fit for the forum ... not sure why some get attacked and others don't.
i still don't like the "scroll-factor". far too high thus too much to scroll down to see the "(sub-)navigation-tail". everything else seems fine though.
p.s. could you use #c60 (or in that tight range) instead of #FF9E06? it could help making it less "vibrant" for some people.
p.p.s. i am using the newest powerbook with its - obviously - built-in display and i don't think the colour-mix is vibrant and don't make things flickering, but as someone else already stated maybe it is worth a try checking some other flavours of your colour scheme...?
