eish, not too sure how to help you there... :( ...check this one out... http://www.evanescenceuk.co.uk/index4.php it's pretty much the same concept.
GreyWolf wrote:the "main menu" font is the one. I can hardly make out "outro". It almost looks like part of the art and not the menu. It's a nice font but not very practical. Furthermore it detracts from the "clean" look. I recommend something simpler / modern.
I hear you. Just that I was looking for something a bit out of the ordinary. Maybe I went a bit too out... :crazy:

how do you feel about the fonts on the "section breaks"? :tellme: should i change it too?? :tellme:

ok...see the evanessence site, each section fills my browser end to end. you designed yours in 1024x768, there should be a code that resizes the browser window to that width. if not, maybe have an intro page, with a link that opens your site in a separate window that is 1024 pixels wide?

I like the "designs" font in the title of "web designs", I would use that font through out. that "coca cola" swirl is cool.

Thanx dude!
The thing is i wanted each section to have its own "personality" but I must admit, the "designs" in "web designs" is my fave. :oops:

anybody else got any comments when it comes to the fonts??

like I said, the site is cool. I really like the graphic elements (background and images). The writing style is also cool. Personal pages are supposed to reflect your style, so you are obviously very "street" and current. Good stuff.

You submit.
They review.
If it's good enough, you make it on there.
Easy.
