opinion on layouts

Hello,

As i mentioned in another thread i am trying to redesign my site.
I have come up with 3 different versions. Please tell me which one you like best and feel free to critique them. i would like to know what i can do better.

Original http://www.maniacstudios.com

1. http://www.maniacstudios.com/testing
2.http://maniacstudios.com/testing/long
3. http://www.maniacstudios.com/testing/short

Out of the 3 i prefer this

http://maniacstudios.com/testing/short/

One thing i would do though is center the text in the naviagtion boxes, both vertically and horizontally

Any reason your moving from blue to red?

For me, I like the first one....

I am kinda leaning towards the last one myself, but i am really not sure.Yes, i like blue but i think it is to plain or conservitive, red is more exciting and jumps out at you more.

Any more suggestions?

Personally I prefer your original one, but that is just my opinion!

thats not my original. sorry, i uploaded the third choice to my homepage so now that my new site, you were talking about the red one with the red box towards the right am i right?

No!

I was talking about the original, I looked at this thread a while back, but didn't comment, but I remebered that I thought the original was the best, but didn't look at it yesterday, and as you said has changed!

Sorry for the confusion!

motormaniac - this is just my opinion and i'm just being honest. i suggest you to put some life in your website. your site can be simple but with "wow effect". i checked all the links that you have provided above but none of them i like. try browsing some magazines, look to some billboards on the road and i'm sure you will be able to conceptualize more. looking to this materials are not copying but we sometimes need to admire other works for us to become better
