Happy New Year All,

I'm looking for some help from the designers amongst us.

I have just posted a mock up homepage for my client at
www.pasoundhire.thepigfarmer.co.uk for his comments & I'm dreading it
because ... I don't like it!!! Has anyone else suffered this before??

All I had to go with was his logo which is a single graphic and is in =
the
banner - and a pile of images of speakers, most of which are dung =
(Devonian
term).

I have never used Orange and now I have, I will never again and the =
whole
thing just seems chaotic to me as I usually design very clean and almost
empty sites. The thing is, I just feel that my usual style would not fit
this guys industry - up to now I have catered for high end glossy mag' =
style
sites for designers and make-up artists etc etc.

I was about to start again and then thought it may be a helpful exercise =
to
post it here and invite a selection of harsh, but constructive criticism =
to
help me on the rebuild.

I don't want any rendering or validation related scolding as this is a =
true
fag-packet mock-up. What I want to know is why it looks so bad.

...... well, I know what I mean.

Thanks.

Max.
