Description
Hey there....I've finally finished my Phoenix theme which I have been working on for a long time now. I've put a ton of effort to perfect it and have worked in subtle suggestions from comments on the WIPs I've shown to few.
I would like to thank everyone for helping me get this far with my designs. I've progressed throughout the years by myself but I would of never improved if it weren't for comments and suggestions from fellow designers and watchers. I know that a great community such as this is a major factor to improving in design.
Thanks again to all. I appreciate your comments, suggestions, favorites and support. Have a Happy New Year. Better things to come in this year of 2008

yes it may be a bit dark but I don't think its a bit plain. There is a ton of detail I put into this. Anymore would be going overboard IMO.

looks incredible. just make the gray text a tad lighter because it just blends in too much, where as the red is distracting making the text blend in even more. i would highly suggest changing the text color to something a bit brighter. perhaps you may disagree, but that's fine. just trying to help out and even it being left alone it's a hell of a piece!

Axertion In reply to Rotwi [2008-01-20 20:48:47 +0000 UTC]
Thanks man..
suggestions...hmm. I would say just master the pen tool, its the most important to make cool shapes which is in every design. Learn how to shade and understand how lighting works. Make new and creative designs...people usually like new and unique ones that only you could of made. And just keep practicing because thats what makes a designer better . I hope that helps a bit

Axertion In reply to xlabs [2008-01-12 18:10:10 +0000 UTC]
no lol..not tutorials. I know enough already to do this. I don't think I used any dodging. The only brushing was the red overlays which I blurred up and moved around for the lighting

Axertion In reply to tobimo [2008-01-09 16:44:57 +0000 UTC]
yea some people didn't like it because it didn't represent a sharp edged feel compared to the header's logo-area. Is there another reason why? I'll try to come up with something different upon requests and idea

tobimo In reply to Axertion [2008-01-09 21:04:33 +0000 UTC]
it's too dark. there is no highlight. just so flat and grey

Axertion In reply to tobimo [2008-01-10 02:01:20 +0000 UTC]
so it has nothing to do with the red buttons?

RaiderXXX In reply to tobimo [2008-01-12 19:43:24 +0000 UTC]
I agree, it's a very nice design, but just a bit too dark

Nice work The layout appears to be well balanced, looks like a "real" template
I have an idea for improving the button area [under the header logo] a little bit more.. will send you something to check out and see what you think..
Any plans for a blue version ?
