Usability vs Design

[Vapour]

A much discussed topic

how much is too much design?

and when does a too basic design turn a user off?

As seen with craigslist a traditional well known basic design seems to work,
although hideously ugly, craigslist seems to function.

Where do you draw the line between too much and too little quality design?

is this too ugly?

Are you good with graphics, or can you at least make a decent banner? I had an idea...

I am useless with any type of graphics..although I do play with gimp from time to time

what was your idea please?

Maybe take some of the most popular funny animals and put them all in your banner? Such as the Dr. Evil Gerbal or whatever. You could put the bear that fell out of a tree, the koala bear that attacked people, etc...

ya nice one...that i could do

although when taken from video the resolution will not be all that great

but yes the most common or famous animals in the header

thx

No problem, buddy. Of course, you could always hit up Zuzana for a fresh new design. ;)
