Please critic my website
http://cis.usouthal.edu/~group3/
I have been working on this for the last 3 days. I know the theme is ghey, I didn't pick it. I was given the theme, so I had to hunt down the artwork, and I am the one actually making the site. If you can think of an absurd story for how we caught the Mermaid and the Red Dragon that would be great. I am running out of ideas.
Also, if you have tips for the layout and/or visual design, I would appreciate it. I am not very creatively inclined so making this site has blown goats. It is due tomorrow, so I will be burning the midnight oil.“I used to do drugs. I still do drugs. But I used to, too.”

Good job, might want to expand that paper image to take up more of the screen, or create a bonus sub category link layout on the side of the page that doesnt go anywhere but looks like it should

Does this criticism have to be constructive?

Aside from the graphical issues, I have no idea wtf I am doing at this site. It is not obvious. It doesn't say the creature is based off the elements and why that is so. Aside from the D&D nerds who know this shit, I imagine you would like some other "customer" demographics.
In my HCI class, the instructor would always say, "It needs to be intuitively obvious to the casual observer." A little more explanation would be good. Content leads design, not the other way around.If sense were common, everyone would have it.

Thanks for the tips, I will try and do that. I hate This shit, I don't enjoy making user interfaces. I have to take HCI next semester, maybe I will learn something.

It's the worst, because you can never be 100% correct, someone always has to come in and fuck it up by making sense. Originally Posted by KelJu

Ok, thanks for the tips. I couldn't figure out what yo uwere talking about until I tried to trouble shoot in FF. It works in IE, but for some reason the javascript is puking its guts up in FF. Originally Posted by DOMS

I'd soften the sharp edges of the pictures and such and maybe get more a textured brown for the background instead of straight brown. I think it would blend better.

If there is a lot of text to read, flat bg color is preferable to a textured bg.
