Thanks to for the critique on the linked piece I went back and reworked it.

I was hoping to make some changes and then give a response matching the time you have taken to give this kind critique.

Couldn't leave this critique unpublished any longer so here we are. I'll respond in full asap.

Many thanks!

Cool I have one suggestion to you about the date stamp maybe you should do it in the same way as navbar and footer is done. Btw. Great work +f

very very nice! i do however miss the sort of texture you applied to the old design's bars, maybe not noise but proper leathery texture?

Both versions are beautiful clean layouts, especially so on this revamped one. I do like the small changes you've made. Probably the most important ones are the active page colour on your nav and that you've brought the links closer to the logo.

I do love the colour of both pages and yes the critique was right you did need more contrast on the old one, but you could have done the same by changing the colour of the text or links instead. But I don't need to tell you that, because I think you know what your doing, and you do it well too . So long as you can justify the colour change and it conveys the message or feel you are trying to give your viewer then thats great.

One thing does irk me-the hand written type. Is it your intention to use them as links/nav? I don't have a problem with this, it can be quite effective and damn right cool, in the right design. But if you have this ultra clean layout w/clean type, it's like leopard spots on a zebra print.

Thanks for the comments I appreciate them.

I'm going to do something with the handwritten text. Not sure what but I certainly know what you are saying.

Many thanks

nice, clean, I like it a lot more than the previous version.
I agree with $liquisoft about the links beeing a bit too dull.

deadlinesdesign [2009-11-16 12:09:29 +0000 UTC]

The whole Design looks really clean and easy to use. I love the style you used at the header and the Footer.

But whats the point of this "cut out and keep"-tag? I mean it`s creative but is it usefull and needed in really clean design like yours? I think I would like it much more without this "cut"-thing but its your turn

Finally a really great design (:+fav) and I would like to know if you used a font for the headings of "design it", "build it"... or if you handdrawed the headings (if font pls call me the name )
