i just started this design for a site for my music. what do you think? it's just a jpg at the moment.
any ideas on what font i should use for the text?

the character is courtesy of a very talented parskid

xlent. i'd compliment the bg color with the fg color or match it. otherwise, all good - great really.

Seems a bit outta scale, like the navigation is too small compared to the content.
Unrelated but... when you're doing web filler text in Photoshop, try turning off 'Fractional Widths' in the text palette menu. Should fix the problem with the characters bumping into each other.

It has legs :)
Not a big fan of the navigation text style... and just generally I feel a bit of a conflict with styles on the page... kida got part celtic, part toon, part techy... it just doesn't quite flow as one.
Generally though I like it :)

good start...
i can't really say if it fits or not because i don't know what kind of music you play...
i really like the colors and patterns but i agree with the out of scale comment...i think to fix that you could do a few things:
- remove the box around the nav and put the main nav links across the top
- move the mailing list box outside of the main content area
- remove the pars illustration and crest thing on the bottom left
- make the whole thing bigger...is there a reason you started with such a small content area?
i like the content font...serifs complements the patterns and fancy things nicely...maybe a point or two smaller?
nice stuff going on tho...some tweaking and could be quite good...

i think it is lovely.
but i need the content to really say for sure. ;)

ok so i was fairly bored and interested enough in your design to take a few seconds to throw together the idea i got when i looked at your design...forgive me for the EXTREME lack of attention to detail...but hey...whatever...ha
it is more a schematic of functionality and grid rather than a true visual design...sooo
