I really suck at making layouts.. I dont ever know where to start or end and what to put between.
Can you honestly tell me what you think of this? Of course, I stopped and its not done yet:

Keep in mind this is just MY opinion...
I personally hate layouts like that. It seems so very simple that its ridiculous. If you had done something else like blend a few here and there and maybe use a texture to even things out it would look better. But if you just started then yea, it looks alright. Just wondering, what program do you use? |

Hm...sorry I can't help then cause I have Photoshop and no knowledge of PSP.
And I apologize if I sounded really mean. I really didn't mean to make it seem like I am. |

tbh, i don't really like it. i like collages & stuff but i think in this layout, you went overboard. there are too many pictures that i didn't know where to look at first. also, some of the images you used are of low quality & the color is bad. like the 4th picture in the first row, the one of rachel/regina, she looks like a zombie. & i don't really like the brushes you used. i like the font though. lol
yeah that's my honest opinion. no hard feelings, right?

the collage feel you were going for is kind of lost because there is too much going on and no specific focus point. i love the font and colors you used, but not so much the brushes. keep working at it and i'm sure you'll make it better.

I really like the concept of it. However i think there is too much going on. I would keep the idea because its pretty good, but use less pictures id say and it will make it stand out more.

If you were to not add nor subtract anything, one way to make it look better is to increase contrast and brighten each collage picture. It would make the whole thing have a little more edge and seem a little more interesting.
