What do you all think of the design of MacHeist...

Colors, Layout, How the design ties in with the name.

On a personal note, i think it is a very vell designed website, colors are neutral just like a bank, marble back nice touch. Layout is exciting, the vault in the middle at the top, connected to a keypad of some kind maybe.

Adam has really outdone himself this time...

It's nice, but it's a little too much maybe...
Some of the grey is a little annoying, in the forum part at least.

The top, with the dynamite, is fantastic.

i love the design only thing i don't like much is th background marble effects.. make that solid grey and ur laughing!

"picketpocket" You mean pickpocket? Har har har... Its minimalistic design flows well.

Oops! Don't know how that one slipped by us. We are fixing it now.

It's nice, but it's maybe a little too over the top. Busy designs don't work well for me..

I like all of it except the little curly-things in the corners of the posts

Sweet.

hhmm one person says minimalistic, then a few posts later someone else says its too busy...

i guess "eye of the beholder" comes to mind

I like the design a LOT.  webpages such as this, that dont LOOK like webpages, IMO are successful

I like it.

I love it, the header specifically!

Yeah, I have to agree with those who like the design - extremely slick.

i think the design is good.  the whole thing ties in well together to create a good atmosphere

Major kudos to our designer, Adam Betts, for pulling this off.

im loving this design.. im somewhat of a web designer myself.
the marble background ties in nicely with the rest of your site layout. also your source code is very neat.

neat! just like it!

I've always loved Adam's work. If it weren't for him, I might not even still be doing graphics! He's been my major role model as far as graphics goes, even before Pixel Sage was born

Very nice site design. I'm always learning in my design and Adam's work is consistently an inspiration.

Edit: I also love how so many people have made their avatars b&w to go with it. It's great.

i love it, guys! don't change a thing. but i love how my tar destroys the color theme of the place.

Do I hear a MacHeist shapeshifter theme?

Excellent, I could see where Max's Aluminum Alloy could be modified to fit this look

Awesome theme. The header is especially fantastic and of course, the CSS is very sweet!

I didnt really think of that till you said so,

i guess its our inner macuser,  the need to be aesthetically pleasing. hahah

Green Team 4Lyfe

Yeah, the majority of peoples avatars are B & W.

Done!

Huh, maybe not, I tried uploading the new one, and it didn't change...
Maybe it's just my cache... Is it still in color for everyone else?

EDIT: Now it's done. I have a few other ideas for my avatar as well. What do you think?

Are you kidding me?
i LOVE the marble background!  its tiight.

@alexobenauer

I totally agree.
The marble gives the site that bank/vault feeling.. Without it, it wouldn't be the same.

I love those they really help give it that "classic" bank look.

Ehh....

its really unique, it must of took alot of time to create

The first mockup for MacHeist. It's come along far since then, but a lot of its original elements have remained.

It's a very nice and minimalistic design that is aesthetically pleasing to the eye (both the current site and the mockup)!

I love the design of this site.

The neutral color scheme makes everything a litttle easier to see.

Does this mean I've got to greyscale my avitar?

I think it's brilliant.

I'm blue daba de daba di.

As I said elsewhere, I'm not sure I like the fact that it's all grey, but I think it's grown on me. I will keep my avatar in discrete color, though. I like color

Back on my two feet

Kinda has this advanced iWeb kinda feel to it...it makes me pretty happy personally.

I like it, PunBB is very flexible.

Ok, you guys shamed me into de-saturating my avatar too...

... must blend in, must blend it...

Wow, the final design is soooooo much better than that green thing! I'm extremely glad it evolved to what it is.

This type of site, a site that replicates a place or thing and gives a sense of depth, is what Adam Betts does best. Just look at MacThemes, or his blog.

I like yours too. Looks like you should be running though (Nike + ear buds).

I love it. The marble background is a great touch. Though, my only complaint is that avatars don't link to a profile and the rank bar looks odd. =P

Putting it simply: Blue didn't get lucky!

I like everything on the site I must say.

I think it would be best for avatars to be B, W, and blue.  Oh, and have a little bit of green in the uppoer right hand corner.

Broke down.. with a touch of red.

i want to learn.

Yeah...haha

have a bit of RGB, theme for the avatars...

Edit: And B&W
