Hello. I own a popular graphic design resource site. We recently introduced a new forum / message board and we need to get it started with some posts in order to get other people to post. Do you think some of you could post a message or two to get it started out? The site is www.allgraphicdesign.com and the message board is here: http://www.allgraphicdesign.com/phorum/index.php ... Thanks everyone!

Rachel

Don't take it personal but that is one unattractive site, it is especially strange as it is a Art and Graphic design site.

First, wow...the colors really make you think. For a graphic design site, you really should have no more than 4 total colors to make it attractive. Also, the forums? Should try phpBB2 or something else...something that is easy to navigate.

I don't like the design either. I have to look around to find what I want.

It seems like there are a lot of resources, but it's not well organized. It makes me wonder if they hired a graphic designer to do the site.

no more than four colors? hmmm...sounds like a foolish rule. i'd put that one with david oligvy's famous (infamous) quote about never reversing copy.

don't get me wrong, www.allgraphicdesign.com is poorly designed for a design resource. it looks more like a site for some breakfast cereal.

Ya it is not the number of colours but the poor choice of them.
