** BLUE!!!!!!!**

How can anyone possibly think a bright blue like this is a good thing for an art website???

 

It violently clashes with the actual pictures as can be seen below -->

 

The thumbnails need to be set against a nice neutral colour such as black so you're not distracted by all that BLUE!!!!!

 

At least the actual gallry image has a black background, but now that stands out like a sore thumb against the BLUE!!!!!!!! of the surrounds -->

 

 

But dear Lord, it's BLUE!!!!!!

 

Who on Earth thought thsi was a good idea???..?

 

Black was so much better. Cgtalk uses black, ItsArt uses black - why? Because it's the most effective background that's why. We look at the picture NOT the BLUE!!!!! of the website.

 

OK, so the argument is "Oh but it makes Rendersoity stand out so much more effectively than those other sites"... Well since WHEN has Marketing ever had a better clue as to what works or not artistically than the art dept. itself, in any company on the face of the planet? Gawd... I feel like we've entered the Dilbert zone with this BLUE!!!!!. Who did the website coding - the Elbonians?

 

Please please change it back to a darker colour or the dark grey/black of before

 

This is more than a simple change of header/title - which everyone hates anyway but we get used to - this is far more serious.
