To be honest, I think it is very poor. There is no consistency. It looks like the designer has tried to use every tool in the designer toolbox, from the flowery logo and drop shadowed text to the bevelled buttons and decorative borders.
Superficially it looks okay as there are some quite nice individual elements but they don't fit together. A case of a design being less than the sum of its parts.
I also counted no less than 14 different treatments of text (font size, font type, color, etc). That is way too much and perhaps explains why the design looks overly cluttered.
The dark borders around the main photos are too heavy for the lightness of the rest of the design. The drop shadows make this worse. Get rid of them both.
Sorry to be harsh but you did ask.
- becubed 15y agoThanks for the honest feedback -- definitely appreciated. Text treatments can indeed be reined in, as might several of the extraneous elements for the reasons you've pointed out. Always good to get fresh eyes and concrete criticism. Thanks again.
