Time for a new layout

[jaelle]

I came to the realization the other day that I haven't changed the layout of my site in nearly 3 years. :stunned: So anyway, I've been working on a new layout and would like a critique.

^That's what I've put together in photoshop. Art is in no way my strong point, so if anything bugs you please let me know. :) Thanks.

those buttons in the upper right scream "Photoshop Bevel!" You might want to do a little something to spice them up (or spice the bevel down a little) just to make it look a little less... "default"

Its a little bit to hard to read.... um, I would use contrasting colors for the font, keep it seperated from the background... um... hmm... other than that, I think you should tone it down a little, perhaps keep your colors within close range of each other... like if you want to use blue and green, use a blue that is a similar in shade to the green, and so on... that's the suggestions I have... good luck! :beam:

Thanks a lot! I will play around w/ those suggestions and see what happens. :)
