I don't mean to sound snarky, but I hope they didn't pay their designer too much. What's with that odd drop-shadow effect to the left and right of the header image? Is it to denote that the header image is bulgy? And what's up with the rest of the drop-shadow effects? What angle is the light coming from?
And why use Google Sitesearch? Surely a custom-written search interface would be a great way to show off the power of Erlang?

- randysan 17y agowhile I agree the design could still use work, jumping on the drop shadows is silly. Designs down have to follow physics, function of design elements can be more abstract. Just because it doesn't follow some global light source doesn't mean it's not functional. It serves a purpose by helping better highlight the colors. Would you be okay if we separate the edges with a solid black line? What if he added a gradient to that line?
