I guess this is the most I'm able to get out of me after not designing a full out print for a year. I already know the header is ugly af but please actually give criticism instead of "oh that's great for not designing in a while". Okay? Okay and go.

Now that someone got that inevitable comment out of the way... :r

Anyway, it's looking good so far - I really like the typeface you used for the username. I'm going to list off my suggestions as they're somewhat all over the place:
  • I'd like to see a bit more horizontal space on the left menu as it seems a bit smushed in there at the moment - also a few things are just a bit off-center.
  • For the background, I'm thinking that the blasts of teal are working for you at the moment - part of it, I believe, is because you're going from grey to teal which is a bit odd. It also may be because they just seem like radial brushes to me on the background - I want to see more things worked in to them so that they seem a bit more natural.
  • For the category, the way you have the left and right borders make them see a bit blurry (the light teal right next to the light grey is what does it). I'm not sure that I like the placement of your H2 at the moment - I believe it'd be more natural if you worked it in with the teal of the left and right borders. Also, would each category be a new light grey area, or would that essentially be another wrapper? If you don't understand that question, just create another category and show how you think multiple categories would look. :)
  • Remove the dark shadow on the teal forum titles as they make it seem blurry.


I quite like your style, Jackie - it's not like anything else I see. Keep it up. :)

Sigh I'm not that dumb. Each category will look like that; it's not a wrapper. For your second bullet, I think you mean they aren't working? I don't see what you mean about the cat borders being blurry, but I just realized that the right light teal bar isn't equal to the one on the left. I actually did try and "connect" the h2 to the border idk I might go back and try that again.

I actually believe I'd prefer it if the categories were connected if you're going with it the H2 in that way - otherwise the H2 seems like it'd just floating in that container and not actually defining it. By defining it, I mean the H2 should essentially contain the content - in the way that it is now, it seems like the content is separate from the H2.

Perhaps blurry isn't the right word, but the way the light teal interacts with the light grey category makes it seem a bit odd. It's like putting a light drop shadow on light type on a dark background.

I just thought of this, but have you considered making the category dark teal or grey instead of light? I believe it wouldn't contrast so much and might seem a bit more natural. :)

I did try it with a dark teal or grey - actually both. I think I'm not used to using so many dark colors so I went with what I'm most familiar with.

Yeah, I what you mean with how it looks odd (I didn't understand "blurry"). Like it has different levels right?

It's actually the background color - if you look at the top center or the bottom left, you can see the uncovered parts of the background that match that color.

@Chance: Thanks twinny<3 That made me smile c':
