So I only managed to complete one design for the first critique but I put a lot of time into it. I am selling a code editor/cloud based development environment subscription service. I wanted to keep a real modern feel for the site and keep it fresh. I chose purple/pinkish color scheme for the site s...

First Design: The navigation seems a bit cramped to me. The links sit right on the black edge and have no room to breath. Im not totally sold on the color combo either. Maybe try to integrate more green into the design if you are going to use it. Its just the random border is a bit weird. I would li...

The FIrst Design: I think the flat purple makes the site look a bit unfinished. Im also not sure about the banner for the navigation, it will be difficult to code that when it comes to it so I wouldn't go down that road.

Instead of trying to remember all the crap with what adds to your width of a div... just add this to the top of your css. * { -moz-box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-box-sizing: border-box; box-sizing: border-box; } Basically what it does is instead of adding width to your content area which makes your...

Ha that is like a total rip of Adobe's Kuler. http://kuler.adobe.com The cool thing about kuler is you can export your selections to a .aco (I think?!) swatch file and then import that right into photoshop. + this one just looks better even though its flash... I do like the patterns option that http...
