Do you have a link?

The chip image looks hilarious and really fun from the screen shot, but you have a tendency to overuse brushes and effects e.g., the border around the content boxes. And I think the navigation box is unnecessarily large; I think navigation tends to look better when it's discreet and subtle.
Ourania
thank u but i dont noe how i overuse these brushes wen i just got them. maybe ur confusing me with some1 else.
freeflow
I don't think he meant those in particular , he probably meant with all your layouts in general. But if you never used brushes before or posted a previous layout I have no clue what he was talking about then.


Its an overall cute layout, but the brushes are overdone. The font looks ok, but the one by the actual cookie doesn't fit well. IMO. Its cute though.
Ourania
thx for the feedback _smile.gif

sry to say but sumtimes these people get on my nerves...they alwayz think they know everything.... pinch.gif

Agreed... I like the color scheme, very cute... Kind of made me want a cookie thumbsup.gif
Ourania
thx...but y do u agree bout the brushes??

It's pretty cute, I like the colors. The edges of the cookie could be cut a little better, and I don't like the heart brushes at all (definitely overdone).
Also, the edges of the divs (about me, navi, pics, etc) kind of bugs me a little.
All in all, its a pretty good layout.

I wish you had a link to the live preview though. It would make it easier to critique. ermm.gif
Ourania
thanks.... _smile.gif

and ok about wat to improve and wat u dont like... _smile.gif




any1 else?

The brushes look too streaky... it takes away from the layout (to me)
I still love it though biggrin.gif
Ourania

this has to be the 2nd time u don't supply a link to a myspace showcase...
the cookie is cute and the brushes just not content sections its the edges... (about me, pics comment, navigation)
background looks weird to the brown although the colors fit well together
Ourania
thx MiZz_Olivia...i appreciate ur comment. _smile.gif



to blaqheartedstar: im sorry but i dont have a link to provide....alright?? no one else is complaining about the screen shots so whatever.
flaymzofice
LOL Toya, I'm a she. And I did mean in previous layouts and general brush use, rather than this set in particular.

Also, I did point out, like Amanda, and so did Kara (StanleyThePanda), about the lack of link. I know we've raised this issue before, but this is a Myspace showcase, so it seem a little redundant to be showing a layout without application of codes to the actual site? Otherwise your submissions would just be graphics?

Thirdly, it's not that I (I can't speak for anyone else), think I know everything, but you asked for opinion and constructive criticism and that's what I provided.
Ourania
yea yea whatever...
Blaqheartedstar
then whats the point in posting anything if u don't want to hear what others have to say??

i can't judge ur layout the right way on a small screen shot alone... what about the coding? and other features to ur layout?

how can u get help or tips on improvements when u act like a little kid with sayings like "yea yea whatever..." and "sry to say but sumtimes these people get on my nerves...they alwayz think they know everything..."

i dont want to start an huge disagreement, but come on why post and not maturely accept the feedback. Did you really think everyone was going to fall madly in love with this layout??

there are many issues i find with this, mostly already stated...you DID overuse your brushes! Yes, they're cool when we first get them, but there's a point when you have to realize what's enough and too much. The sides look odd pink...the x borders are too bulky...seems you used 2 different fonts, doesn't look nice because they are too big...you may have tilted the font intentionally, but it doesn't look that way. If you were to post this for others to use, in my opinion the "copyright" is too large.

There's a lot of people who post and have created many layouts and still realize that's there's more to learn and NOT everyone likes the same things.

Just humbly say, okay thanks for your input & I'll think about that...and mumble and be upset once u sign off.


HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!

I honestly find the font tacky. Heh. And.. pink with.. cookies? pinch.gif Then again, I don't find the concept very intriguing. I don't want to look at a MySpace and crave Chips Ahoy.
Ourania
like i thank u guyz for all the feedback and im not gettin mad over wat u guyz say its just that how is she goin to tell me i overuse those brushes in particularly in general(not on this layout) wen i just got them is wat i meant.
freeflow
I don't think you understand them. When people say you "over use brushes in general" that usually means that all the layouts you posted or showcase have brushes overused. Whether or not you got them are not. In general doesn't mean this particular set of brushes, it means any that you have.

I can tell that you've had brushes prior to this layout by looking at your old posts. Every layout you posted in myspace showcase used brushes. That is what some of them are refferring too. An overuse of brushes, whether or not they are the ones in this layout or old ones.

Thats all. :]
Ourania
