I like it so far, but it's hard for me to judge until there is some content. I need to be able to see how easy it is to navigate before posting a final score
I like it too, particularly the corded border, the metallic clasp corner thingies and that woven looking background texture. I'm not sure about the bit at the very top of the banner above the menu. The worn through feeling doesn't really work for me.
I have to ask, did you do the image used for the background (the swishy thing with the blue whitey whisps) or did someone else do it? And if someone else did it, did you get their permission?
Sorry, but as an artist who's had her art ripped and seen it done to others, I have to ask these things.
