So, I stumbled upon some old Xanga designs from over 5 years ago, and I laughed at how horribly awful they are.

I hope that these links can make your day!

Post some of your old designs too! Let's all have a laugh!

Kristin Kreuk
Reggie Miller
Beautiful in Black
BoA
Yuna
Stupid

LOL Rachael. Your third layout doesn't looks that bad, imo.



But here are some of my rejected submissions:
Harajuku Lovers Icon
Wtf.

Danity Kane Banner
I remember the quality was so shitty because I scanned the image from a magazine.

The Hills Polaroid
I just feel like bending all those images.

Mandy Moore GIF
Lul wtf.


These are from my Photoshop folder:
"Jump In & Listen"
The cobbing and lack of creativity... (this was an inside joke for my friend, btw)

"The Music of Andrew!"
Another inside joke. Omg how ugly.

hahaha,
the beautiful in black one isn't that bad xD.
my first design was just a picture with words on it (i lost it),
but it looked terrible D:

My first 5 layout submissions...this was b4 I even knew how to code...






I basically used other people layouts and then replaced there image with mine, since that was all I could do.

i had to start somewhere?

Hahaha I love it guys! Keep em coming

I can't believe I thought I was any good back then...

Rachael, I love that you posted this topic. :) I don't have any layouts past the image phase (I can't code for shit!).

Haha, this is a great topic. I have a lot of really nasty designs.

Penguins
Skull
Bad animation

I thought I had more really bad rejected graphics....I'll have to pull up more from my past sites later.

Hey your penguins at least had a good concept behind it!

Rebecca, you should post your images!

did theerinkal inspire you to make this

Ahh... no. I stumbled upon my old xanga from middle school/high school, and it had blog links to my "new layouts". It was entertaining to read. I was so dumb.

Haha, this thread is great. I don't think have anything older on my computer, but I'll try to log into geocities and see if I can find something.

Lol i trashed my first layout last year.

Digital I think your BoA one is still pretty nifty.

I can tell (from recent ones) how there has been so much improvment from you guys :O

This one was probably my worst layout I was trying to find the first graphic I ever submitted, but I think I lost it, and it was rejected so it's not on CB. Hahah oh well.

^Eh?

I don't think I can find any of my bad designs. I'll try to look for it in my documents and stuff later since I know they aren't on cB because I emptied my inbox so I lost the messages that rejected my hideous desings.

^I can look them up for you, Mike.

^That be straight. I think some of them were a PS3 tribute layout, a Dark Knight Joker layout, a Skateboard layout, and a banner about stars or something.

Does this work for you?

the f*ck? How'd ya do that, imo.

I got skillz, mang.

Dani taught us.

Ah, well that explains it. lol. Thanx!

my bad ugly designs are totally public on the graphics guidelines.

*shutters*

I don't know what possessed me to make any of this.

^They're not that bad, especially the Jim Sturgess one.

I found my first xanga site!

Enter with caution.

Judging by the "Member since" date I was only 11 when I made that, so cut me some slack. The saddest part is that it was actually pretty popular.

I love it! Haha, it's pretty bangin' for an 11 year old

my very first and worst graphic. :/

YEAH! haha, that's a funny icon.

^I don't think the last two are too bad.

I don't think these two are that bad. I didn't really see that the bottom half of "camera head" was the body of a guy. But you've come a long way with your designs, Rick :)

its kinda sad, cause all my layouts are pretty shitty, /:

LMFAO. w.e.

Nay, they aren't too bad. The fonts are just a bit cheesy.

Here's my old stuff lol I thought I was the shit back then

ehh i think they're cute, the lil pixels are adorable! too small to see any flaws

Did you post a topic on this? I remember seeing it before.


Like when I got accused of having a "friend" design my entry for cB's first vector contest. LMAO, bitchesss.

Wow. Was I freaking serious?
