Hi
I am a newbie in we designing and tryin to give a flat look to my profile website…Need your suggestions for the “portfolio” section as I am unable to bring abt a flat look to the images (taken thru printscreen for the websites Ive designed)
url of my site:http://www.clouditheaven.com/#portfolio
What does “flat look” mean? Do you have an example of what you want through another graphics program for example.
Hi Rubble
Here are a few examples…http://webdesignledger.com/tips/the-flat-design-era
In your website use white boxes, and a white border for portfolio images, also the lightbox should have square white borders.
I have changed to a black border since the background color doesnt blend well with white…pls check and suggest.
I guess a flat design is using solid colors without any graphical elements using color gradients.
I would say your design is flat since it uses solid colors only. I don’t think it’s very attractive though.
One major problem that stands out is your page titles are too close to the top. You need a larger margin there.
Thanks and do u have any suggestions for the color schemes and portfolio images?
I don’t like the dark grey, i think the page background would look better with a lighter grey colour. The way the portfolio images are aligned looks fine.
I have changed the background color and several other features…Please take a look…
We seem to be drifting away from the original issue, and more into the realms of a site review, which belongs in the Review Forum. Feel free to post again there; meanwhile, I’m closing this thread.
