I’ve been getting some positive feedback about the new look of the site. It seems that most people like it. There is one who doesn’t though – my wife Olga. Here’s how she expressed it:
Olga: I don’t like the new look.
Me: Why?
Olga: I don’t know.
Me: But if you think about it, maybe there is something you can put your finger on.
Olga: Well, it looks like … like … like … LIKE A NEWSPAPER!
Me: Hm…
Olga: Yes, exactly. It looks like a newspaper. Before it used to look like a magazine.
After a short discussion, we realized that she meant that there weren’t enough colors on the site. It looked black and white to her. Interesting.
Oh, and while I am listening to all opinions, I am not going to change anything just yet. I myself like the new look a lot and that’s the most important thing of all, isn’t it?
1. I love that style.
2. I partly agree with Olga. MPOV it’s a newspaper with bad news a little aggressively depressive.
IMO becauce of it has heavy and contrasting header.
If you step aside from the pure black and the pure white, even add some softened colours then your site will be look more nicer and optimistic. 8)
Try to use like colour background in odd comments or background “Ads by Google”, I think they will suit.
I’ll consider this, but maybe at some later stage. Thanks for the feedback though. :)
My pleasure 8)
