    Wow. That is awesome. This is the first design that doesn’t seem like a rehash of past web desings. Definately the most original so far.

    Here’s a link to the working version if anyone is interested.

    Good work on your design. The bezier curves really pop and the colors and the text transformations all fit together.

    Finally, something different! This is the most eye-cathing theme I’ve seen, and yet it’s so simple. It’s nice to see someone thinking about DESIGN as well as function.

    Great job. This is the most interesting design of the whole contest.

    Wow! A real designer has entered the competition. This is the first design that actually stands out. I would definately use this design. My only suggestion would be to change the spacing between categories and live search, but anyone could do that with a little CSS.

    This looks very nice, from several different perspectives:

    As a user, I like this design a lot because it’s simple, but unique. I can see everything that I need right in front of me. The graphics are also nice and tactfully done, without being overbearing on the eyes.

    As an (ameteur) designer, this site is very well laid out. The sectioning between posted articles is clear and distinct, yet still streamlined and fashionable. The color choices are good, and the entire site comes together nicely.

    Very nice work.

    I must say, I find this VERY easy on the eyes, which is a good thing for me. It has enough uniqueness, yet is not exploding with drawings, pictures, and the like.

    Color is really good, with the text being easy to read. This would work really nice for my own site.

    Me and my dolphin friends totally agree with superman!

    Also, I hate Sea Rangers.

    I guess I’m weird but I really don’t understand how people can say this design is ‘easy on the eyes’. There’s so much contrast going on that reading a long article will result in a splitting headache. Same thing goes for the bright white comment form on a pitch black background.

    Also the non-functional spirograph style graphic takes up half of my browser screen on a whopping 17’’ notebook screen. If you’re running 1024×768 you hardly get to see any content when first loading the page. Then there’s the default spinner in the livesearch which doesn’t fit with the black background.

    This design may be ‘original’ but in the functionality department it’s seriously lacking.

    Not trying to be rude, just trying to be honest.

  10. Aquaman said 3 days later:

    Actually, I completely agree with you Marco. I was being overly sarcastic.

    Dolphins hate white type on black backgrounds. And usability seahorses agree that primary navigation should be in the top 1/2 of the page.

  11. Brian Carr said 4 days later:

    I wanted to do more with the text and content area but I was running very low on time.

    I personally love white type on black backgrounds. White type on black backgrounds is a personal style issue, I’ve never seen it as a usability problem.

  12. TIinPA said 4 days later:

    It looks great, but it really seems to waste a ton of space.

    Also, I use inverted colors on my display so the whole text issue is really a non-issue for me, so no comment there.

    This design is great. A step above the rest.
