Feedback on my theme

[jetru]

I developed a theme for Drupal. Its my first proper theme ever. But I feel its not so good. For some reason it doesn't look 'professional'. Could you criticize it please? I've included a screenshot...I'll put up a working model if required. Thanks.

I think that is better than some of the "professional" overkill many sites use.

I think the colors don't really match up. You've got green, black and grey, blue and red going on in there.

Additionally, the green you chose is very hard and doesnt mesh well with the other colors.

I noticed some lines in the green backround and black horizontal bar, but I think it's your gradients reacting to the lower image-quality output.

I'm not trying to be harsh or anything, but this is not something I would use. And I've been known to produce and use some of the ugliest designs known to man.

Don't be discouraged by my words though, because although my designs still suck, they're not so ugly anymore. What I'm saying is that you learn what goes with what as you go along.

@Midi
Thanks!

@scru
You're right. It's not something I'd use either! It's really hard to make good design. It just doesnt come naturally to me! But I check out all the inspiration sites, I can easily admire themes. But I really can't point out whats wrong.

Thanks anyway. I'll work on bettering my theming skills.

Not bad for the first Drupal Theme I wish I could even design theme like that. On the other hand the actual theme looks generic. by comparing it to all the other themes it kinds similar except for the color combination. Thats what I want to learn is how do design Drupal themes. Most of my sites use Drupal. Great start

The theme seems to be lacking something actually. I just couldn't think what it is. But it lacks something. But overall, it kinda nice.

Neat. The structure is a bit of a professional plus funky colors.
