Joey Manley of TalkAboutComics posted today a screenshot of the redesign for Comicspace.com.

As a fellow web designer I must implore that yellow be toned down slightly. I like the pastel pallet, however, there is too much yellow Yellow is bright. If I may, I suggest using the fade in on top and bottom (very well done - kudos) but make the center a white or at least off-white.

Might be a personal opinion, but perhaps a border on the modular boxes would “contain” the boxes more and not have the blend in with the background too much. This might be fixed by changing the background to contrast the boxes more, however, I think a border would be best.

I’m going to assume this is a first draft and it is a good start. Looking forward to the redesign. From experience, I hope it goes smoothly. And please use text for those titles of your boxes! SEO!

What are your thoughts on the redesign?
