What Do You Think Of This Design?

Im trying to learn design, if thats possible, and here is one that i made today, its taken maybe 5 hours to do and is based on an imaginary paintballing company. Ive only designed the home page but all other pages will follow the same template of text location, but they may not have the div on the right, instead maybe 3 images of the paintball area (if i were to do this site for real of course)

Let me know what you think, its fairly bland i admit but i feel good about having a very set theme, all camouflage colours and an army font title image at the top. I couldnt use my army font for the main text as its not standard so i used another font instead. The buttons on the right are rollover images, all the ones you see are the standard images with the third button showing the rollover image and the cursor.

You have a good start there.

Keep going.

Thanks, it doesnt look complete yet but ill think about what it needs!

logo learn some photosop tutorials, but starting is good.

Its a good start for a beginner and lots of improvements can be done in time to come. Here is a tip : a header text must have more visibility than the background or any other support graphical elements. This apply to header logo as well. All the best

Ok I don't know much about paintball, but it's a game right? I think you can make the colour scheme better and more appropriate by using brighter tones of colors. You can still keep your camouflage theme, just use brighter or more intense tones to make it look livelier.

Also, all elements on a web layout should complement each other. I'm not sure what's that roundish little picture you use on your navigation bars. Looks like cd-roms to me. How about you replace them with blobs of paint instead? (the ones you've used in your header image).

The font on the header image is quite nice, but I think the usage of color white is not very appropriate. Maybe you can try a shade that is off-white (white, but not so white, with a tinge of yellow or beige).

thats good just need to be more creative with the pictures

It's a cool design, and very appropriate for the site's theme, but like everybody else said: your header and logo needs to be more visible, and just be a little more creative with the pictures. And I think bishoujo had a point when she said about changing those "CD-like icons" to paint splats...

wow this design is good, and it looks like a clothe, my not very important suggestion is that the menu design feels a little bit not match with the header, overall its so good, i dont event know how to do this design.

real nice like, i wish i could create a website as good as that.
