I'm not keen on the colour of the main bar.

The blue looks a bit too… sickly, for want of a better word for describing it.

That blue is giving me trouble >_>

I changed it to something else, not much of an improvement though so I'm not gonna upload.

I think you should merge Music and graphics into 'Art'. Imo examples doesn't deserve a whole category, it could be a subcategory of each main group. Web Dev, hmm, I'm not so sure of what would someone submit there?

This way you could reduce the main categories into 'Art', 'Games', 'Apps' and 'Web Dev'. However, I still can't make up my mind of whether to merge Games and Apps together, after all, games are technically applications.

Thne it would be easy to subcategorize each, anyways, imo the nav bar doesn't need to be too specific. For example, instead of showing 'Action', show 'Genres', and so on. If you try to be too specific with the nav bar, it will always look overloaded thanks to the large scope of the website.

I don't like that blue either. Make the darker blue a little darker and change the font color there to something lighter. Make the light blue background a little lighter and make the text darker. If you can't make it right, just take a look at other websites that use blue as their main theme (Facebook, Many IPB boards, etc)

I feel a like awkward telling all this to someone who actually works making websites :P

Finally, let me say I like your idea for a new community :)

I have a suggestion. How about this structure:

– Developers:

- Games

- Apps

- Tutorials/Examples

– Artists:

- Art

- Tutorials

– Musicians:

- Music

- Sound

- Tutorials

I was thinking that examples would just be examples of each category. Although it could go the other way and get rid of the Examples main nav and put it under the sub nav of each topic.

What would people put into web dev? Maybe templates they've made, javascript stuff, etc.

True. And I'm not sure that many apps would be posted. That category just may be removed in the future.

Haha don't worry about it. Everyone sees things that others don't.

I like that, but I'd like to show sub categories for each other the developer categories. With games I'd like to show different genres so people can find what they like, things like that.

So…

Developers:

Games (genres: action, adventure, rpg, arcade…)

Apps (genres: none, or perhaps graphical, network, or w/e)

Tutorials/Examples

– Artists:

Art (categories: digital art, traditional art, but not too deep like deviantart does)

Tutorials

– Musicians:

Music (genres: rock, pop, electronic, reggae, etc…)

Sound (categories: ambient, machinery, electronic etc…)

Tutorials

Maybe a bit too much nesting?

Also, are you doing this alone or not, because it seems hell of a lot work.

Something like that could work, yeah.

What I've done until now is all my own work. There are people who are willing to help me and I will use them at the next step.
