Archetype Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 Not digging the site to be honest. To me it seems cramped and bit thrown in. Few changes I would suggest are - Make the surounds white so it all flows in. - Add some space to the top. The logo is right up the top and blends in with the photos at the top. - change the navigation at the side from black to white with the grey highlights. The black draws you away from the content. - enlarge the content section by shrinking the navigation bars. - space things out - it all seems very busy (granted some colours aint helping) but its drawing my eyes all over the place and I lose focus on the important part. Hate to be this critical but you did ask for an opinion Quote
Dad3353 Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 Far from an expert on site design, but I would suggest that some people in there would give a more 'human' feel, and a sense of proportion in some cases (room sizes...). We see architects using people in their sketches and mock-ups exactly for this reason. I got an impression of cold, aloof, distant, clinical. This may, of course be intentional, in which case, ignore. Just my tuppence-worth; hope this helps. Quote
clauster Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 You've already said you're getting some better pics (which was the first thing that hit me). What the content says to me is - [size=6]WE DO DRUMS. [size=2]Oh, we do voiceovers too.[/size][/size] [size=4]That may be intentional, but if you're also marketing towards bands, solo artists and labels I'd put some explicit content for them too.[/size] Quote
Rimskidog Posted February 16, 2013 Author Posted February 16, 2013 Thanks guys! Good feedback. I've changed a few things on the site per your comments. In the meantime, the control room takes a step towards completion: [IMG]http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g28/Rimskidog/BA5C52B5-7D50-4139-81CE-E233D81888B8-4390-0000089D7A890FE9_zps1bd66f11.jpg[/IMG] See it at www.circlestudios/controlroom Quote

I have a couple of more substantial projects in mind for space you havent seen yet. I guess they could take me all the way through the summer!

Nibody Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 I popped in to see Trev last weekend, and the place is like the Tardis. Only more exiting! Quote
Rimskidog Posted May 18, 2013 Author Posted May 18, 2013 Thanks man! Great to see you! For everyone else's interest, we've been working away on dull detail stuff trying to get it finished. Official launch party is coming soon so it's all hands on deck with paintbrushes and cable ties at the moment. Photographer is coming late this week so you might even get some professional photos at last... Quote
