Ideas for my website?

Hey, look at what I did. It's been months since I've used photo shop. I have no idea what to put up next. Thoughts? Ideas?

I like it. Says who you are right off. I think I'd look at changing the font of the text "It's coming..."

I'd look for something that looks more like a "handwritten" font. I forget what it's called, but there's a good one out there.

As far as what to put up next, stick with the black & white. Shrink down the "Zero Heroes" font, and put it on every page.

You're probably gonna want some photos, downloads, sound clips, and other info.

So you like the black and white? I did those two because it's very simple. The only color will be the photos.

Oh yeah. I'm assuming you play rock music of some type. It really does work, though.

Another cool look is the "alien glow" where you basically make the letters the same color as the background, and make the glow around the letters whatever color (in your case, white).

Keep heading the direction you're heading. It's looking good.

Yeah, I've seen that. I need to get some photo to put up.

If you want to add an "accent" color, I'd go with a gray. Probably a medium to a medium-dark gray.

Your choice.

Your site will be fine in black & white, with color photos.

Hey, your website is lookin' good. I'd like to make a couple of more suggestions if you don't mind.

Your band photo looks cool in black & white, but you might want to add a vignette (fade) to the edges, so the edges aren't "hard" and the edges kind of fade into the background. You'll probably have to create a layer, fill it with black, then put your photo in a layer on top of it, then do your vignette fade.

You may also want to consider adjusting the vertical spacing on the front page. In my opinion, there's too much space between Zero Heroes and "It's coming for you...", and too much space between that and your mailing list sign up.

This would push everything up a little. Try to aim for a screen size of either 800 x 600 or 1024 x 768. More people are using 1024 x 768 resolution, so that would probably be better.

Ah, you noticed the changes I made.

I've been out so as soon as I get some free time, I'll finish. I am going to keep it thinner than 800. Right now it's at 630.
