Vote: JoshSilverWings, the background is far too distracting. You don't want members constantly being annoyed by the confusing blurr. You want them focused in on the actual content. I don't like how you implemented so many colors, worst part is they look horrible with the dark colors. Josh, Like I mentioned in our MSN conversation, convert this to a ProBoards forum, brilliant work. My one and only complaint would be that chunk of a scroll bar, trim it down some.  |

Josh: As Luke said brilliant work the whole thing looks light and fresh, the text works even though it's simple and the transparency works too.
Silverwings: I think this would look alot better if you had chosen your colors differently, green background and with grey doesn't work and one sort of color for home, services, contact us and about us.

[+] Positive (liked)
[-] Negative (disliked)
Josh:
Reminds me of Vista opened windows
+Very clean design
+Seems to be easy to navigate
+Simple yet very up to date style
+Colors and the interface overall are well chosen to create a liquid form and a great mood
-Font size on the buttons is too large
-Seems to lack pages (only 3 menu buttons? im sure this was just a test)
Silverwings:
+Tried something different not a traditional page you would see
-Seems sloppy and less oganized
-Colors dont match
-Buttons are too big and out of place
-Looks like everything was just slapped together
(Note: Don't try to make a portfolio site so packed. Make it simple, easy to navigate and original. Which would present yourself and give the client or the viewer a kick of interest in you)
Overall in my opinion it was a battle of different levels of experience.
Good job both :]

My vote goes to JoshI like clean feel of your template, not so keen on the larger text to the left. The background does feel a little common place though. You have seen my comments in Critique  A nice effort by SilverWings here, I would suggest making the background grey, maybe avoid using a background image. I would also have in your mind a particular colour scheme, the multicoloured buttons don't really work too well here. I'll be able to comment further in Critique
Josh wins this battle. |

I win. Project: Yeah, it was just a test. If you read my description on dA (I didn't expect you to, so no problems), you'll see that the menu is meant to be full. I'm just lazy and didn't want to make more icons. And thanks Oliver. the button size will be trimmed down substantially for the Proboards version |

Not unexpected, actually looking back on this image, I really don't like it. But oh well. Congrats Josh, we all knew you were going to win. Thank you everyone for your input.
