My Inspiration brought me to Designconcept new design xD

Hello All,

I decided to make a new design such as Design-Concept Website ( I got inspired lately lol), I would like to mention this doesn’t related to DC Team or any other sources, It’s just I Felt a little bored and wanted to share my design experience with everyone and get learned from everyone also. I did not use any images from any other websites or photo stock. Its Just Shapes and colors designed in Adobe Photoshop.

What I wanted from you the most is:

• Discuss the Color Combination used on this design whether its match or need an enhancement.
• The overall design.
• Other suggestions are appreciate it.

Any member/Guest Newbie or a pro would like to give me his/her feedback is welcomed.

nice design, however I feel that too colorful layout will distract the users. I used white and grey colors in purpose - so that the designs stand out more.

agree^..I like blue in general but there's to much, my eyes are going \ / )...I like the spotlight idea;)
cheers!

Thanks guys for the feedback, however it was too shiny almost destruct my eyes from the third look... So basically when it gets formal and a lot of people visiting the site then the clean white design should do the Job I believe.

So the main point here was the Color not the design right?

If so let me know if the White version below is better than the colorful version and why.

Thanks again for your concern, thats really helped me alot.

yeah..definite better, overall design imo looks great but not impressive, think about that;)

Thanks robert777 for your feedback

However, I Finally realized that the impressive layout is taking a short-time impression then be replaced with something else. Like resurepus said, he did the white and gray in purpose, Although the current design is not impressive but.... Its readable and comfortable for the eyes.

Thats what made it work with no complaints for all tastes. For an instance if you decide to give a bevel for the spotlight container it will look amazing but it wont match with the overall layout and probably users will get bored after a white, So Simple layout with no bevels or shadows will last for a very long like the DC current website, the current website is not so attractive but its comfortable clean design, and thats exactly what i'm seeking from the beginning of opening this thread.

resurepus: I can see you replaced the "PM's text" with the envelop from my Layout I could sue you for that lol:kiddin:

Thanks robert and resurepus for your professional feedback, And from the knowledge I gain.
I owe you guys for this one.

Cheers xD

the second one looks much better .. Well .. the icons need a little work..

I like simplicity the most ..!

hey ..

why don't you try a gray/lined background ..!! just like resurepus mentioned .. such BG gives a professional look .. I guess ..!

I really like the smooth, bubbly design, and I like the choice of colors (I've always been a fan of blue + orange), but I think there needs to be more orange around. Maybe add some orange contrast to the title bar or something? I also kinda liked the first one - it reminds me of twitter, and happiness. =).

Well the First one was my Favorite too, but the 2nd one is actually going to work as most of people prefer clean simple design where you can feel the white background.. no Bevel or 3D work. Just as sample as it could.

Thanks for your comments xD

Nice designs, especially the last one, although the footer draws too much attention to it, and that's a secondary element of the site.

Ive done many designs. You have some GREAT ideas. The color is a little much.. kind of overwhelming though.

I think if you went for something more minimalistic you could come up with something even better.

I like the white version as well, I didn't think the blue one took away from the designs too much, but the white does contrast better with the art.
