Default Re: Oh this is depressing

As computer engineer and part time web designer myself I would like to point out few things of that site. With all respect to web designer, this is meant for friendly advice.

That site hurt my eyes. I looked it about 5 seconds and I had no will to look it any longer. The colors of the text are too bright for the black background.

For example look at this forum. Light brown background and black text. I can read this forum for hours and my eyes are not tiring. Use colors, which are not contradictory. Pastel colors are excellent in this. Here is few combinations you could try (do not use bright colors unless you want to make something to be especially seen):

Light brown background and black text (like in this forum).
Light blue and beige.
Green background and black text.


If you insiste black background, use light brown font and make it bigger. Usually, the darker the background, the bigger the font. Also if you want to make something to be noticed, normal red test is perfect in that.
