well I just finished the header/top thing w/e u call it on this temp and got stuck I don't know what to do for the body of it.... suggestions please also comments on what I've done also it got resized because I think it's too big for photobucket or something IDK haha... but it's much bigger than that,,,
Looks great so far. Maybe darken the texture/pattern on the red. If it is a texture it would look good with patterns instead .
The color i was thinking about on the pattern was a gold-ish color but not so shiny if you know what i'm saying and on a higher opacity by the darken thing.
make it simple..a simple grey gradient bar next to the banner..and some grey outlines, the box, and well maybe put like tabs of a binder, on the left side as categories..
Very good start, I think that you should but a few tabs on like on FF and IE, but not quite so big, i think that would look coolish..
