thetron Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Okay Maybe where the Latest episode is. Replace the youtube with a static image, get rid of the ugly subscribe buttons replace them with links. or to sum it up. Like this I tried to do this in wordpress before for my own show. But never had much luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeoneE1se Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 I like tron's newest idea... and I was thinking looking closer the sidebars on the right look like a block that was thrown in at the last moment, the brown need to blend into the city scape right above it.

Forgotten Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Note: I got lazy and didn't read anyone else's feedback so excuse me if the topic has been beaten to death. I think the structure of the site seems perfect, thought I doubt that colour of orange, especially acting as a buffer to the white and blue. It would be nice to see it as a 75% width-of-screen stretching template with a nice patterned background. And make the bare-minimum width 800px as usual. The search field could be better with the white to show contrast within the template. And the slogan of TYTL is perfect with the w2.0 fade. But I would take that a step further and give the whole bar a shine. The orange.... Well, it seems like a sore thumb in a flawless hand. I suggest choosing a different shade of OJ or a different colour altogether... http://kuler.adobe.com is a nice place to look / create decent swatches. I enjoy the the content of the orange area and whatnot. This is how I would see it: http://img186.imageshack.us/img186/4632/templatezp5.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickarse Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 2.0? lol... let's just get on the topic of good design instead of rehashing what we've regurgitated from other sites that _tell_ us what good design is. I think you've read too many digg.com articles on "web 2.0 styling". Maybe this one http://www.webdesignfromscratch.com/web-2....style-guide.cfm The point of design is to break barriers and boundries, but, it still takes skill and talent to do that. The thing is that hak5 is shiny and polished. It's raw and blunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kateweb Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 I don't mind the orange so much maybe a shade or 2 darker. Please keep those subscription links and download links it will encourager the noobies to keep watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psychoaliendog Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 this reminds me I had a Re-Design concept that I made and never uploaded. http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/48209352/ It could use a little more polish, but its just a concept.

cxn926 Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 The orange would be much better in my opinion if it was lighter. It seems the orange is too dark making my eyes believe it is brown. If you were to change that, it would be swell. Also maybe add some scanner lines or I do not know on the orange too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecky Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 I made a design a while back too :) http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r76/Xen...gn/concept1.jpg I went for a darker theme :) I'm also a Web 2.0 nut so its pretty much to standards. Unfortunately Photo bucket limits to 800x600 so the image quality isn't that good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like your look very good. Im a fan of the dark looks of sites. White is like the pro codemasters. Not that Hak5 isn't. But the dark look brings Hak.5 down to the ground. If you understand...

Paralys Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 this reminds me I had a Re-Design concept that I made and never uploaded.http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/48209352/ It could use a little more polish, but its just a concept. Sorry if I'm keeping a dying topic alive, but, if I had my choice, I'd have to go with yours psycho, seems more easy on the eyes, only thing lacking is a link to the site's IRC, sure that could be worked in somewhere though (surely enough space beside the Forums link, besides, that'd fill up that little empty gap, seems like there needs to be something there) No offense to Ecky, whom's dark design I lean more towards because of the colors (I like darker stuff). However (even though I hate admitting it) I think that it would be to drastic of a change (in color anyway) for the page. Maybe sorta too fast a transition from lighter colors to darker. Great job otherwise Ecky, wish that the page woulda been a little darker to start with (love the design.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecky Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Yea. I thought my dark maybe will give a different opinion of Hak5, actual black hat hacking. I might come up with a similar one bit a bit lighter :) Thanks for the C&C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecky Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Heres my new lighter design :) I changed Photobucket to allow a bigger image. http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r76/Xen...gn/concept2.png Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickarse Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 I like his idea's, Psycho's, but the structure just isn't there. It's most likely a really really really rough layout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
