Re: My design

Again I think it needs another color
Also in my opinion the navigation bar should be bigger, maybe the larger height

Re: My design

I've been trying to work with those colors, but everything I try doesn't seem to work. I attached my most successful attempt. It's just not working.

I'll keep on trying

Re: My design

Messed around a bit, and this is what my design looks like with a bit more color.

Re: My design

I think you are using a lots of colors, maybe 2 or 3 colors are enough
But its getting better i think
Make your navigation bar color same as logo color, Also the sidebar color
maybe putting the brand in center will make it look better
play with it more

Re: My design

Touched up on the colors a little bit. Keep the crits coming. Each nav item has a different font, which one do you like best?

Re: My design

The nav1 font is better i think, also you can make a tab effect like on nav3 button, and put submenus on its bottom

Re: My design

now im really getting somewhere. lightened up the logo background, makes the green look better, changed up the nav link backgrounds.

Looking better each time. Any more crits? I'm going to start getting it in HTML, then I'll post it in the website critique section.
