I think this a beautiful first attempt, Firefox & Mozilla really are making the web a better place, and Airbag definitely has some design chops. Can’t wait to see what’s coming.

I personally like the retro feel and sleekness of the site, but I don’t like how it lacks pop. Even your choice of images have a muted color quality.

I think that the idea is a wonderful one though, Firefox WOULD be the company that helps spotlight organizations that are designing and developing correctly, unlike that other company – what’s their name?

Keep it up.

Perhaps I’m too jaded by Web 2.0, but it seems to me like there are too many sharp corners. It seems more like a museum website than an open community that actively accepts submissions. (I wonder if it’s also the extensive use of the tan colored background?)

I’m also not sure that the choice of placeholder images gives off the right vibe.

Other than that, it’s a pretty good first attempt… unlike those suggestions for the Mozilla.org redesign….

I’m not a huge fan of the red on black header myself, though I like everything else about it. FWIW the footer doesn’t bother me, so maybe it’s just specifically the red on black.

I would also want to give better prominence to the top part that explains how to get involved and the “latest design challenge” box.

Something else to keep in mind, on my small monitor (13.3ws) the Hot Designs and Designers You Like stuff will be below the fold. This might not be a concern with designers though.

It’s definitely a really cool design concept and I don’t see it having a problem getting people excited about what’s going on.

I commented on the flickr image, but thought I should say here as well that I really like the design and color scheme of this mockup. I showed it to Juan Becerra and he raised his eye browses in a way that I think summarizes it all: this is sexy!
