Helllo, everyone. I just wanted to let you know that I have changed my color preferences, I have removed "purple or green" all together, as I have realized I don't really have a huge preference. My new color preferences are:
" Not necessarily grey, but preferably softer, more tame shades of colors. Anything will work if you make it look good, just make sure the colors aren't too wild. My idea for the theme of the site is just laid back colors that all are matching in brightness/saturation, so you really could make anything work. Be creative, I am open to all ideas."
However, I do like the entries so far that have used purple and green, so don't think I am requesting that you not use it, I am simply trying to remove the emphasis on those colors to allow for a wider range of entries.
I should also mention that the site isn't yet constructed, I have thrown together an idea at
http://www.webskethio.com/index.php , but this is very bland and I will definitely change it. One of the major issues with it is that there is no logo to add some excitement to the page, so bear in mind through the design process that your logo could have a huge effect on the site, you could possibly convince me to change the theme all together to match your logo.
I am sorry that my guidelines are so broad, that probably makes it harder, but I'm not good at this sort of thing, and you people are, so do your best and I will be sure to rank every entry as fairly as possible.
Thanks everyone!
