It looks very nice. Just a few small changes and it will be much better..
1. The mouseover dark gray color on the top menus is too dark
2. The gray text is too light and hard to read in the body
3. Fix the dead image under "what's new?"

4. Try to get a image with a higher resolution. I see the pixels in the hand and the jacket.
But overall a great and logical design with a nice combination of colors IMO.

Is there nothing you can do with the logo?? and the grey bit at the top looks like it needs something in there??
Nice design & colours though.

That logo is a real #$%^ to design with, its a black rectangle with the text inside and with the bright yellow box at the end, ive actually designed 5 templates for this site so far and this ones the only decent one....

Colour scheme is good but I'm not too keen on the magazines under the blokes arm on the left. The text on the mags seems a little fuzzy and looks like they have just been plonked on top of the min pic. Could just be my eyes though
(sorry just re-read the previous posts and thats been said!)
Th fon on the menu bar is also different to the sub level menu when you mouseOver on Magazines and others. Might want to make it the same as the main menu. Plus hen you mous off the menu, the drop down stays put which is a bit disconcerting.
Apart from that, I like!

Thanks for your input all, the reason the picture is blurry is because its a placerholder, I am currently organising to get a shot of a guy in overall's holding the magazines so it fits in with the sites theme (Building Industry Magazines)
