Description
Copyrighted to QScend Technologies 2009This is my most recent design. It served as my "on-the-job" interview that basically determined if I was to be hired or not.
It is a bit different from my usual work only because this is my take on clean 2.0 design.
Feedback is welcomed as always.

I am getting in on the 2.0 bandwagon. Do you have a good resource that can teach me how to integrate that "mover" element, the one you have with the arrows. It's pretty common to alot of designs, and not everyone uses Flash for it. In fact, if there were a way learn to do that without flash, (Java?) I would like to.
Any info you can help me with is appreciate. And the design looks good. A bit, square, and cramped, but I love the color pallet.

Very nice design man only a few critiques.
- it looks very "tight" maybe you should ad more space between the items.
- maybe you could polish it a little bit, wit 1px lines here and there.
- the 3 tabs which aren't active could use a bg, than it will be more easy to see that they are tabs.
Nevertheless very good design, keep up the good work.

Thank you! I'll try that. I was trying to make the design compact so that people could see all the information they need without scrolling. That will remain one of my goals while working for tis company, it all goes to usability. I can see however that a little more spacing won't hurt.

its ok, but try to put more light between text. i mean news, events and a third block.
will be excellent

Overall I really like this one. The colors rule.
I think some of the content could use a little more spacing. That's about it tho.

Great start mate, it looks nice
Reduce the font size of the top nav (culture etc), search and menu items (Welcome, employment etc). They're a bit big and overbearing and don't give enough space to achieve that clean look you're going for.
The icons are sexy, the colours are hot, the jquery gallery is beautifully placed and thought out.
With a bit of generally spacing throughout and font reduction i think its going to look great

Thank you Andy! I'll take that into consideration and make the appropriate changes.

Hey NE
I like the colors of this design, and I think with a bit more polishing it could look really good. You said this "served as my 'on-the-job' interview that basically determined if I was to be hired or not," so I assume you didn't have all the time in the world to polish this one up like you had in your other designs.
Anyway, since you're up for critiques, here are mine:
- Maybe add some more horizontal spacing and seperators for the menu at the top (like [link] ).
- I think adding some padding above and below the content columns (Latest News, Upcoming Events, Spread the Word) would be great. Perhaps some more visual cues for the title in the content columns would help as well.
- The logo/title area could look better
Overall a nice design.

Thanks! I'll definitely try to add more space. You are correct about me not having enough time also, this had to be done asap + the necessary research. The logo area is rather simple but that's becuse I could not find town's logo, not all of them have one and I had to keep moving.

I'm not sure how to call it. I wasn't aiming for the typical corporate business feel. The design is for a town that is known for their part and a mountain which is why i used earth tones and references. Not sure how to call that, corporate was closest I could think of. =] How is the design itself tho?

design is simplistic compared to your regular work, BUT that said, the content and structure of the layout is very well done. All is easy to read and navigate imo

Thanks man thats what I was wondering.

Lol well I think there are different kinds of "good design". This is just a different style, for different demographic. I cant be making designs out of torn paper and spray paint for every project.

get rid of the footer and put a line and put your fonts on sharp... they dont look like that on browsers.. The typography of the design mainly gives it away... I dont like it. They seem to be randomly sized and put there for the sake of it. Just this layout does not look like something that you have really sat down and thought about. Obviously reading the notes you left we know its not. This is just my personal opinion and beleive that you are capable of much better. Out of 10 i would give this 6/10. I like the colours the idea is very nice. Just it does not look like its been finecombed into place.

Hehe aight man I'll see if that helps. I'm not removing the footer though. A few of your points make sense but the rest is a matter of preference and i respect that.
