Mainly looking to exhibit the layout here folks, so don't pay too much attention to the slightly off font-sizes and spacing of some elements. It certainly isn't finished.
I agree no staff pics more all around favs. how do we know what you guys are faving is what we think should be so. -sorry to make it sound mean but our oppinion should be first instead of staff
Well, the sheer amount of deviations in the top portion lead to horrible lines as far as the eye can tell, and it's a bit too cluttered. I feel very claustraphobic and daunted by imagery when I look at it, whereas the front page now can be broken down into three rows of nicely laid out instances. I would say that the design concept of doing one thing well is very good, though, but i think instead of daunting the user with a thousand different "previews" of different sections, perhaps have the user customize which section they'd like to be referenced to, or have a tabbed interface so that the front page can *really* specialize and focus on a particular section for each layout, or tab, rather than 4-5 per page. This way, you could focus on each section individually as well as keeping it clean, and neat.
It has improved, at least, with the dimension of the tables. It looks more sleek.
However, the display of thumbnails looks awfully jumbled, due to the inconsistancy of deviation size.
Honestly, I'd expect this from a dull Microsoft site that is ONLY interested in appealing to those people that have no sense of direction when it comes to art and design.
Seeing as DA is, in my opinion, the pinacle of all this in design, I expected more, but hey.
Seems like the April Fools' version would have taken more work..
Not for the front page but i think the submitting should be easier for people who do alot of the same gallery instead of clicking a bunch of time DA should save the top 5 most used categories per artist, sort of like what ebay does
I definately do love the new start page.. would take some getting used to but i do love it
