Description

Development of ~marine-maiden's web for thesis. She's done with the defense though! And she got A ;) Now it's my turn to revamp the looks so it'll be decent enough for launching! Help me with some crit please! This is really my first time doing a full web design =) And please don't :+fav: this yet as this is still going to be updated again and again till the final one ;)

Edit: by one and another reasons, the site will be relocated and the name will be changed, so I have the chance to rename it into "Jack Maps". My first idea is "Jak Map" the "Jak" is for Jakarta but considering the area will be expanded later, I changed them into "Jack", something similar in pronunciation, more common and have meaning than "Jak". :rofl:
Added the user control panel page and the icons there. Changed the color selection a little, the banner, and added more effects. I think this has a better look than before. What do you think? Any suggestions?

Layout to be done:
Search result
Usage manual
Other minor pages

I know this have nothing to do with your work because what I'm going to mention here are mostly about the concept, since the concept is not yours, you could ignore what I said below if the thing that I mention is not yours to begin with.

First, the color. I would like to say it's too many usage of green, it's quite unbalanced in color combinations. Perhaps you could use blue for the varieties. Of course you can't color the signs with blue since the signs have its standards, but the upper buttons (search, forum, etc.), then the light green that you used as a text background, could be altered into light blue. Or if you don't want to use blue for some reason, try light grey.

And then, the icon beside language, the red triangle, I don't think it's appropriate to use the red triangle icon for the language, since that red triangle have another meaning in traffic which is quite unrelated with language.

Lastly, I think the layout could be more balanced if you moved the search route button to the bottom right of the page, since you have the language options on the upper left. In this current layout, you can try to "weigh the balance" on the layout, and you'll find it slightly heavier on the left side (more elements on the left side than the right side), in addition of the language options and the search route buttons, the upper buttons (search, forum, etc.) are also positioned on the left alignment.

Alternatively, you can move the language options to the center of the page layout.

The rest, is good. Especially with the sign object it's very much feels like a traffic signs. Good work.
