i've been in geek heaven working with hail. it doesn't get much better than playing with flash and designing with photoshop and fireworks for me. hopefully i'm getting better. and coding in dreamweaver is super simple. almost too simple. i really like coding and it kind of sucks the nerdiness out of it... oh well, it's fast ( Read more... )

I really like the layout of the website, but OMG at the color scheme. It looks like a rabies infected watermelon vomited all over the place and is that a picture of the actual inside of the store? Yikes!

Personally when it comes to skincare and such, I like to see "spa" colors and earthy tones and flashes of color like tangerine and lemon meringue yellow and chartreuse...you know, something that has a natural feel to it but doesn't destroy your eyes. Especially when their store name is something so simple and organic sounding like 'Skin'

And they need a new logo, like right now.

I realize you're not their branding manager but wow the super bright pink with the black and white makes me feel like it's something geared toward tweens and teenage girls.

omg it IS a rabies infected watermelon! haha! the colors are really just awful. the neon pink and green do look like something from wet seal. *barf* check the website they liked and wanted to emulate: fucking awful. eh... i really like the simple and organic idea... i hadn't thought about that. i kinda went overboard and tried to make it as girly as possible. hmmm... i wonder if they assigned me this job for any particular reason?... no, that isn't the interior. when i get done i'll have a 360 degree tour in that placeholder. i hope. thank you kindest madame nerveaux!

Ahh ok, if that was really the interior I was about to say, "God help us all."

That Rouge website is pretty awful, I'm also not too keen on things that are overly pink so I'm probably biased in my opinion but still...too much!

i really just did. now it looks like czech with that long í. i'm not sure what could look good with that assy pink and green they want.

That made me want to eat my toofuses.

omg it's a big gay birthday cake! i wanted it to be all sterile and medical looking like with cotton balls on the end of long surgical tweezers. but alas... small conservative town.

nice job, todd! that background graphic looks very nice. i even like the colours, but perhaps too much green text - would probably use some other colour and green only with headings and navigation bar.

but cool cool :> is there a way that you could redo their logo, because it's quite dull. i know you can do something fagtastic!!!
