It is done: pixeldeath.com design. web. print.

This site is CSS 3 valid. (Really? Yes!) and is almost XHTML valid. Seriously

That's a good un! Nah seriously it looks great, very design pro

love the design, would have liked to have seen the work localized, didn't like having to leave and go to flickr to view it but nice looking non the less.

I agree with Lolly. Good work

Looks pretty good, I especially like the large white text below the menu, though it doesn't really very easily, it's visually appealing to me. :)
However, especially when scrolling down, when the site becomes completely bright red (at the top it's broken up a bit by darkness in the layout), it's a bit harsh on the eyes. Also the line: "... don't be an ass and rip us off...", sure we all feel like saying that, but it comes off as sort of teenager-ish and not professional. And it may depend on whether you want to come off professional and mature or not, but if you do, I'd drop that line, and also put in the official copyright symbol ... but really, I'm just picking at things a bit, overall, it's a pretty solid piece of work.

im not a fan of so much red...id like to see it broken up a lot more.

i think the red is too much and i'm not digging the background image either. what's with the guitar? i think it's ok if this is a band site but it's not so..

Have you visited the site?... there are various background images all over the site;) - granted they are music related, but that is how I roll, lol


Thanks to everybody else for all the feedback. With regards to the use of font's - technically only the 4 fonts are used through out the entire site Times New Roman, Helvetica, Dakota handwriting and Old English. The latter two are only used in the logo.

I was in two minds about the body copy, but in order to keep the main area's of the site readable I opted for Times New Roman.
...I did have sIFR working so all the headers where actually displaying in Old English, but it just stopped working so I reverted back to the use of Helvetica. ...maybe I'll fix it.


My main aim of the site was to produce something a little different from the stock standard sites that seem to be found on the net these days... hopefully I've achieved this...



...and the site now validates too.

[alienbreed]

yeah I visited the site. My point is the theme is a bit off to the sites content at least for me.

the background is repeat vertically...... is that what you want??
