My friend is working on a personal website and has come up with two versions -- "site 1" and "site 2". I assisted on design 1 and he came up with design 2. He thinks design number two is the better version. I'm thinking not.
We need the opinions of a 3rd party to settle this matter, but first I offer ours:

First of all, the header is much better on my version. The eye has no lid, which is cool, and the font rocks -- Although the queer ".com" part should go. The brownish grey background gives the site a good feel and the ragged way it interacts with the black backgorund is "hawt".

Alright first everyone needs to know I'm a graphic design artist not a code monkey like my "friend" here. Second this site is intended to be a reflection of my work, my thoughts and peoples thoughts over my work. Not a hefty fully functional work of web garbage that is all to often posted on the net now a days. So in knowing this you have to judge on the art not function. I feel that the overall dark layout is better represented in the black layout with the grey overlay as to better emphasize the title areas of grey. Along with the overall art being a much greater quality instead of the garbage I threw together in 4 hours to get noticed.
