Mexican restaurantt concept

[Hellion]

Hello everybody:

Please post your opinions about the design. For some reason I hit a creative block and feel something is missing to make the design really stand out. I think the background tones the design down. What do you guys think?

I like it alot...Nice Mexico/Old World flavor to it.

nice design, you planning for a flash or a HTML site?

[Hellion]

It will be a full flash site. With all the graphics and details should be interesting to have it animated.

very nice, like the background, having a mexican map in there as well is nice...good dark red you've used too

be interesting to see it with content but this is very good start :beer:

Should be good!

[flashwillkill]

Nice start.
Make sure you don't overlood the left site with logo, the notice for happy hours with the plates, the sunday margarita special and the 'painting' and those 2 dudes saying 'Hijole'.
Exclude the painting thingy and I could see the area for special menu offers etc.
Love the colors, the map is sweet :thumb:

I like it.

Works perfectly for the style.

I made some minor content changes. You can say to "polish it up a bit". I'm aware the left side of the site is somewhat overcrowded, but if you guys check up most mexican sites it's seems that's the trend. Not that i have to make the same mistake, but if you visit a real mexican joint you'll notice the overflow of colors, figures, images, etc. I will reconsider all your opinions and try to look for a workaround if its suitable. Like I said I was in a creative block and kinda forced that design. That's why I brought it to your atention!;)
