I'm developing this site and I plan on opening it in the future (after I get all of the PHP and MySQL stuff sorted out) but right now, I'm mainly concerned about the layout and design.

Here's what I have compiled:

I like it but isn't this more of a critique.

I think because this site does not actually exist, and I am simply asking for comments about the design and layout, it does not qualify for a critique. Once I get everything in the site up and running, I'll request a critique. Smiling

o sorry.

anyway i like the green color and the blury pencils that font looks good. The whole thing has got a childlike quality to it.

only thing on line 167 of your css you put this property abackground-image this stops the css validating and you havent put a doctype in your html

Yeah, I did that in the CSS for a reason, but now that I'm finished with it I can take that out. And I'm going to clean up my HTML and add a DOCTYPE soon. Smiling

Thanks again for the advice. Wink

I like the greens, I like your attempt for rounded corners, some things dont align like the forums link. The contents should also have Paddings...

I like they way the forums link dosent align. I think it ads to the feel of the design.

Thanks for the input, both of you. I'm going to leave the template as it is for now so I can begin putting together all of the technical stuff. I know what I need to fix once I'm finishing it up though.

Thanks again. Smiling

By the way, I would appreciate any more comments anyone has! Laughing out loud

You'll notice that the sidebar is missing, but don't worry, it will be back when the whole system is ready to go.

Thank you. Smiling

That banner image is way to blurry, the pencils should be sharp at the tip at least then feathered back.
To green for me, green IMO doesn't express arty. That green reminds me of doctors in an operating room wearing their scrubs.

You mention the side bar is missing, could be why the content doesn't fit the box in mozilla

There will be multiple themes available that you can choose from if you are a member. You can preview them if you go to the site now. Smiling

Yes but i think the banner needs to be less blurry make the pencils more colour effective and get a domain like artsomething.com

Oh, I do plan on getting a domain, but I don't see the need to get one yet, as the site won't be open for another couple weeks at least. Smiling
