Ok, I'm working on a website for a record studio right now.
This is were I am:
http://home.arcor.de/jlserver/in…
Note dual language not yet available, not all links working.

that font is hard to read at small point sizes, i would change it up to something more basic like helv or arial at the smaller sizes to increase readability

font is cool
BUT only for the logo.
in the navigation it is barely legible.
- cyc22220
I was buggin with that font a lot.
But what about the general site design & graphics and so on.

inner shadow/glow?
cool colors for the most part. agree with font opinion.
shapes seem incongruent.
like the top block the most.
- cyc22220
Thx.
Keep 'em coming.

notable problems beyond the font:
your body text is too far from the white edge of the page, espeically when compared to the menu, because the menu area is so tight to the edges.
all the photos seem out of context, are they fillers?
loose the v.1 unless its the name of the company, and the musicians choice, unless it actually is.
why do you have a huge banner advertising for yourself? free site? if not, loose the banner

over use of the font..
just use thatr font in title
- cyc22220
The site is in an very early stage, I started workin on it today.
But which photos did you mean are out of place?
- cyc22220
The banner for my site is there because I'm a graphic designer for that studio, but I might lose it.
- function820
out of place was the news page, the rest are better
the banner just feels tacky is all
the main thing is text alignment
for example the news sectionthe header is right tight against the edge and the text is more than a tab length in, it doesnt suit the page
- cyc22220
Yeah, that was what was buggin me too.
Gonna work on it.For the main page, where that CD is: I want to have a slide show which displays all the recent work.

consistency with shape
fo instance - you've only got the curve once and then the rest of the time right angles. your logo font is curvey too.
just need to blend the shapes more.
the font you chose for "the design studio of our choice"
don't like it. write it for real and scan it in. that font looks cheep.
i do like the font your chose for News. Goes nicely.
just my opinion.

i don't know if this really matters, but you may want to alter the musicians choice element some, similarities to http://cubancouncil.com/main.php…

I changed the menu font to Helvetica Neue, modified some images to fit the layout better and modified the text boxes to fit the layout better.

just glanced at it, and havent read any comments, but you've kerned your Bauhaus too tightly up in the header
- cyc22220
Thx, changed that.
I'm open to all sorts of crits, cause I need to learn much more, as I'm only 16.
Looking for every little piece of advice I can get.
