You have encountered, early in your career, having to try to make a silk purse from a sow's ear, otherly: to polish a turd:
The logo you've tried to start with is beyond saving. The whole asthetic of a site needs to resonate with, and be informed by this and you've kinda been true to it in that what you created from the site has no structure, sense of space or scale, and the colors are bad. If this were my client, I would honestly refuse to go any further without including a new logo. You're honestly never going to get anywhere trying to include that. No page, however nicely you lay it out, with whatever stunning gorgeous typography or images you use will gel with the logo, there's simply no way to do it. Its like going round to Gordon Ramsay's for dinner, where he says he'll cook with whatever you bring, and you bring a BigMac without the bun or pickle, etc, and just wash off the gray lumpy meat patties. There's no way he can highlight and embellish, or even disguise the gristly inept amateur filth that he's been given.
Just becuse it is learning, doesn't mean it has to look childish or childlike. Start again from scratch, and you'll get much further, much faster.
Apologies if you actually did design the logo.- the logo was designed by a guy that works at kinko's, i have been given no direction other then "make it like the logo" :(applepirate
- im not a good designer i will be the first to admit that, but i do strive to offer "what the client wants" a lot of time that is not prettyapplepirate
- anything anyone will like but the person writing the checks, so yeah, box of crayolas is about rightapplepirate
