Question http://www.illusionate.info

What do you think about this site design, the idea was to make a simple & clean one and it think it turned out great only thing i havent made up my mind about yet is the three pictures down to the right, thoose are great pictures, but are they to distracting/disturbing? Other than that, i would want some critique in what i can maybee make better, since this is my first self-made-from-scratch-with-own-images design.

thx in advance,
inno.

hi,

nice site!

I think that the imgs in bottom right corner are gud, but!..I think that as the site is so simple ie. white with borders..the images do slighlty draw your attension. I would leave them there, but maybe mess with the hue/saturation in photoshop. Maybe gayscale em..?!

And, I think your render of the boxes is nice..but it look inbetween shiny, and matt. Like a matt shine. I think I would go4 one or the other..my personal opinion would be shine. Like it is on water?

Also, u have your email, u could make it a mailto link, but that mite have been your intention no to.

tom

I like it! Is it going to be flash, or just html?

Once the content is added the three bottom pictures won't be too distracting.

Would look nicer centered both H and V.

Edit: Missed those other two posts; Just a note, I can't stand mailtos.. if anything make a 'quick message' form..

thx for all the comments guys, i hve thought about centering it but it didnt look so well when its that hight, about the mail adress, i put it like that with intention to. i dont like outlook comming up "install me, and ill fill ya pc with virus plz" when cliking amailto link, thats whhy i figured that guys php script sounded nice, can you send it here, and ill be more than thankfull man, ill try grayscale the pics and test..



EDIT: the pics just drew more attention when beeing greyscaled so i replaced them with pics ive took during a airplane-flight, now they are less distracting...

i love the layout. great fonts, and great planning of the content. the bottom images are better, yes, but i would do something with the dividers in them. maybe reformat the dividers to fit the site grid better? possibly just one divider at the brightest point, because thats what draws my eye down there most.

also, it's almost impossible to read the header in the top left corner. its so small that i only noticed it after viewing the site for a few minutes. i'd make that a little bigger, and bolder. maybe a 600 font weight?

great site overall. great work

thanks for the tips ill try them out, about that header btw, its part of the design, its supposed to be "minimalitic" looking site.
