Remember when I made a post about this like…a month ago? Well you probably could have predicted that it wouldn’t get up until now, knowing how progress usually progresses at Andrew Media Productions. Anyway, I liked these theme better than the old one, and as usual I’ll being updating the other sites. But Andrew Media Productions actually has something bigger coming its way. What’s that you ask? We’ll you’ll just have to wait and find out.
(aka it may never happen, but we’ll see)

What’s odd:
More AMP Sites does a plus, but not a minus.
The main icon is small and it edges are… Junky.
Home … RSS is (in my eyes) oddly placed. Even though they are centered.
The orange borders are well, odd.
There’s also a giant space left on the bottom of this page.
Expect for those, it’s better. But I still don’t really think it’s perfect.

Trying out my new quote and reply buttons!
Do you think it needs to? The More Sites bar is actually going to change soon, maybe.
You mean the one in the center of the header or the one in the top-left? I thought those were fixed.
You mean horizontally, or just in general on the page?
Gee, I kinda liked those. Thought they gave it a bit more color. I might change those to blue though.
There is?

1. Yes. Minus buttons are cool.
2. The centered one. It’s way to small.
3. Horizontally. Something is odd up there. Double logos are one of the oddities. And the big header feel odd with the small header right below it. Yeah… Something.
4. Maybe make them 2px? Or use that orange more on the site.
Well, it fits the grey color scheme. But not your sites general blueness.
5. No anymore. There was though. I don’t know why.

TBH, I like the old one better.This one could use a bit more colour, and the buttons at the top seem a bit too simple.
And as Dax said, round corners would be good too.

So what do you guys think, should I get rid of the space in the header entirely? Here’s what I have right now.

You could delete “Web and Graphics designer”. (Center it?)
The grey logo thingy is… not good. Take it away,
Tone down the fadings. The fadings are crazy!
Maybe make “Home .. About” have bigger text and boxes. Or delete the boxes. (Fading is not that bad on these though.)
You know that black border below this thingy? Yeah. Make the cover the content box. And not just be aligned to the center like that. Right now it just looks out of place. (Maybe take in BELOW the whole grey box. Aka, make the BIG grey box end. And under that have the “Valid XHTML and CSS..” piece of text. Written in light grey.)

Okay, new plan. I think I’m going to completely scrap this design, and just take some elements to the old one. Because I actually like it better now that I look at it. I know it’s kind of a waste of time, but I actually agree with you guys now.

O rly? Do you agree with us?! That’s amazing!
Anyways, yeah, add some good elements from this theme to your older theme.

How’s this look?

I don’t like the big ol’ blue gradient behind your logo. I’d just make the logo bigger and delete the gradient. This is how I’d make it look: Picture
Anyways, it’s way better. *thumbs-up*
[EDIT] I am using some custom things like text-shadow when I created that thingy. But I hope you get the idea.

I remove color, you people complain. I add color, you people complain.
… *ahem* The blue is supposed to make a radiating-out effect for the logo. I know you’re a fan of simpler themes in web sites, but that logo just seems a bit too…plain.
Do you think I should go with something closer to what’s on the homepage now?

The thing is, Andrew, that the colors are well, to out-standing. There’s “dark” grey vs. dark blue, which doesn’t work well. Light grey vs. “normal” blue is fine though.
Aka, all your colors are belong to fail.
Don’t take me wrong though.
And yeah. Try that. But plain is cool, when done right.

Yo, Andrew. This is a little test I made to show you a “light” website design. I doesn’t use that much colors, but it’s in my eyes a “good base” to add more colors. This one should probably use more blue. Not that dark blue though.
I should probably do this more IE acceptable though…
