So another design tip: bookmark everything! I now have a nice nested folder structure for design and development and I bookmark the bejesus of everything I find useful, because invariably, if I don't, I want to read it again and can't find it.

Evernote is great for this. Especially since their new Chrome web clipper is pretty amazing, and unlike bookmarks you don't have to worry about the site going away.


Ok, now I'm looking for some critiquin'.

http://www.trailerthingy.com

I'm no design guy, I don't enjoy design, I think CSS is a poorly designed POS, I spend as little time doing it as possible. Thus I'm using Bootstrap.

Maybe you should first look at the url before you read my notes for an unadulterated look?

Some notes:
  1. My goal is a monochromatic and very minimalistic look, but the color is just default Bootstrap...I have no allegiance to it.
  2. I realize About and Contact don't do anything yet.
  3. I'm not entirely happy with the layout of stuff within the collapsed sections, but I don't know of a better way to present the info.
  4. Do I need some small amount of text in the header area or maybe below it describing what this is, or is it just apparent?
  5. Any other ideas? I was thinking about a block at the top with a horizontal arrangement of movie posters linking to the most popular movie trailers, but I'm also thinking that might conflict with the monochromatic and minimalistic goal.
  6. Click on the "Also show featurettes, clips, etc" link. Does that transition feel good?
  7. Should I add a plus sign or something to indicate the divs are expandable?

 Awesome ideas, all. I'll work on implementing some of these suggestions...
