Header Ideas and colours

Wise1 · 31-10-2007, 08:41 PM

With other sites looking at or having complete a redesign I though I would too, one that works

So lets have some ideas on colour scheme and header ideas, so I can get to work.

Are there any templates or example that we could refer to. personally I like uncluttered. WW2F failed because they are over ambitious with side pictures etc

But a distinctive colour would be good

Side pictures are good, you just need the ability to basically know what your doing to make it work properly, % not px

For some examples you can look at:

Plenty there to give you an idea of different looks

I notice as well that ww2f is still not fixed, looks damn awful

I like the idea of black, but maybe change the words to a little brighter as its a bugger on the eyes. Black looks so...smart.

Black is a bit dark as a background? Perhaps as part of the overall design though?

But a black background makes my avi look so stylish!

Yes, black and red works very well together. I seem to recall you using a grey with black for a Holocaust/Nazi site you were developing? Maybe something like that?

And there was a background called Blakice which was very good.

I have to admit that this look gets a bit tiresome after a couple of hours. Really good for today, But something a little more muted for colours and use pictures or something to populate the borders. How about flags - allies on one side - axis on the other?

Or just planes everywhere

I do like the small icons, like the bats etc before the thread titles. Could we so something WW2 themed?
