yeah , the yellwo line is uncanny... hmmmm... mine was posted first... hmmm... j/k. Im sure thats not hte case, as aperson said that he had chosen colrs taht were in your face. I will say that Im surprised as to how his site looks, its better than I though, but... Im still biased... but then I understand my own content. I think we underestimated one another here.

Im a cynical guy, so thats where I took mine, his colors do work (especially the duo tone reds), and if it werent for the understanding that every monitor gamma is slightly different, Id say his colors bleed into each other too much; but gama is different and I cant really use that becuase it might justbe me. It IS an angry look, I'll give it that. I was leary on being as graphic as ap in the site, as I've seen some people ask us to refrain from the language and since mine isnt a link. I felt the need to adhere to that request. Its not an excuse, but just a reason.

As I may have said before, my design is that of a ironcically professional site. I almsot did one that was as loud and BAM!, but I chose the other route.

If I had to pick the thing on my site I like the best, its my tag line on the footer and in the header. One thing I really dont like in hind site on mine, is maybe my font it too small, should increase it by 1px to 11px. Im a fan of Arial 10px and Lucida Sans (aside from in web design having to make sure that you are using a font that EVERYONE has... the forced font face to oter client end users is flakey at best), and use them often. They are both highly readable and recognizable.

On aps site I like the colors (even though they are almost TOO loud and kind of "flash"). Its funny and to the point. What I like least is... the text justification in his body and how the titles look like some of it has a 1px space between characters and others dont (it could also be my gamma screwing that up too I dunno, all I know is I see it and it bugs me a bit).

I would encourage others to comment on what they find good and bad about either site concpet as "talisman"has. That was good constructive crit.
