Asking for input - New Header and Menu concept
Ning To Jamroom
Input (since you asked):
1) I wound up making profile member names NOT in BOLD- as it gives a less heavy aggressive look...see my screenshot for an example. Especially since you have a nice graceful site title font- the member name looks a bit heavy and clumsy in comparison.
2) Personally, i find black with white to be hard on the eyes. And I associate dead black backgrounds with goth/metal type sites. I'm thinking... wouldn't it make sense for your chocolate site to use a yummy dark brown instead of BLACK for the background blocks of color everywhere? And maybe varying shades of cream replacing any stark white backgrounds and font colors? Personally i'd envision your banner too in a very dark brown with a rich cream for your site title script...then those colors reversed for the tabs...and a milk chocolate and a nice clear sky blue for touches elsewhere on the site.
ok just my own taste. I cant wait for your site to go live, Clay- I feel like joining it and ordering some Hug Mugs somehow...!
