My old site.. and blog

[chaitanyak]

have had this site or a few years now.. i came from a web design background, so had done a website for my self back in my college days

i redesigned it a few years back.. and since then have been haphazardly adding on stuff...
need to do another redesign soon.. its looking too much like a portal now!

anyway the site is at http://www.chaitanyak.com
theres is a section called "cg challenge", this is where all my entries into the cgarena contests and other contests can be found- http://chaitanyak.com/cgchallenges.html

these days i actually spend more time on my
blog http://my.opera.com/chaitanyak/blog/
on twitter- http://twitter.com/chaitanyak
youtube channel- http://www.youtube.com/c2ktheotherartist

as you can see i've maintained the same look and feel(of my site) at all these places.. i feel it not only makes one's "brand" a lot stronger this way, but also projects a certain level of seriousness to one's work ..

Nice website, now you become more a social networking websites user but dont you think after working on your yellow site, quite difficult for eyes to concentrate anywhere else for next few seconds.

dont you think after working on your yellow site, quite difficult for eyes to concentrate anywhere else for next few seconds.

it was a concern in the beginning, thats why i reduced the colour brightness to a duller shade.. but i guess it still would look bright on some monitors.. will put it on the list of things to re-look at when i redesign the site.. remember this particular design off the site is atleast 3yrs old

also consider that its not a site you would spend more than 20min on per session.. and you definitely won't visit it everyday unlike a portal or forum like site where it would be open in one of your tabs 24x7 so you can constantly check updates..and moderate and stuff
