print company

[suz]

hey guys,
just wondering if anyone can give me some feedback on a design i am working on for the digital print company i work for.

Its not in any way finished yet but i dont know if its because i have been looking at it so long or what but it seems to be to be quite flat, anyone any suggestions on how i can im prove it?

Ps. the banner at the top of the page is a video of falling dominos and the products bit is flash, the buttons sort of jump out at you if you get my drift!

thanks in advance!

MY eyes!! They're melting!!

Heh, no just kidding, but really.. the YELLOw on the white is a big no-no and down-right evil.

If I have a hard time looking at it, think of the other thousand users that will struggle to view, read, and see what it is.

It's flat, because it's flat. You have 3 very prominent horizontal bars running the span of your site. By doing that your already eliminating any chance of depth.

As far as the layout, it's simple yet informative. Nothing ground-breaking, yet it works. I feel by trying to push it, or re-develop it you'd be making it into something it's not. It's a flat informative site about a printing service or agency .. nothing more.

As far as the banner, that particular image of the dominos in action is very stale and non-flattering. It really doesn't do anything for the "printdomino.com" or the site. For a more creative approach, try finding photography of dominos in an abstract or different view or perspective. Let them see it's dominos etc .. yet make it interesting and creative by pushing your choice of photography.

thanks michael, appreciate the feedback, i was using that yellowy orangy color to keep in theme with the company's other corporate identity, i'll have to come up with another solution!

any more feedback - fire it at me! :hugegrin:

understandable if it's the companies identity. IF that's the case, than I'd put the yellow type against another color except white. Those two colors really don't play nice with eachother.

Good Luck! :D

yellow+red looks horrible mate. combined with grays, doesn;t look good.
although the two column layout looks good, it's the elements that don't blend. sorry mate, might want to change it a bit.

lose the scanlines btw:)

Poor color scheme. Doesn't catch an eye, at all. Also, mind the text. It looks awful for some reason. To crown it all, I even don't see any menu out there. Overall, there's much to do and to aim at. Good-luck.
