She looks like a chipmunk so anything with her.

And I'm was guilty of a lot of these things you guys have mentioned when i first started submitting, but I think things have gotten better, because I haven't submitted anything but stock photos. lol.


Haha me too, I have gotten better over the months though...I hope.

I hate it when there are huge gaps between things. Like there are 500 extra pixels of space on the top, bottom, left, and/or right.

I hate how people take one big group picture, and crop everyone's face, mess with some adjustments, and then submit every single person that's been cropped.

I hate when links change size, font, or case when you hover them. Sometimes it's done nicely, but I get really pissed when I can't even click something because it's jumping all over.

That IS awesome, Gigi. #10 cracks me up. One thing that drives me absolutely crazy is a pointless site or a site with absolutely no meat or content. That and of course, lack of updates.

Rollovers can make me crazy if there's no sense to them.

1. Font color that does not match the picture at all.
2. Too bright color.
3. Pictures that load forever.

One or two celeb layouts aren't bad, but when they have nothing but celebrity layouts. It makes me mad.

Well, it depends on the celebrity. If you do a layout of some really hunky guy, girls will use it. Some people do celebrity layouts because it's just a style of design that they really excel at. Blending, cutting, and airbrushing were some of the first things I learned to do, so I did those kinds of graphics for fun. I don't think I ever put them up, though. shrug.gif

what if it's a few lyrics being used on a layout?
does that make it tacky and wannabe-profound-sounding.

my nasty list
1. a beautifully blended image...then a box for content underneath

2. same old banner-on-top-content-on-bottom composition. there's other ways to arrange things.

3. overusing anything

4. horrible use of fonts/TOO MANY different fonts

5. TOO MANY BOXES of the same size

6. ugly color palette

and the last is just a matter of personal taste...
7. jrock layouts that all look the same and look like shit

Im less of a designer and more of a coder so my things are different.

The use of Tables.

Pages that only center in 1024x768

tables with borders.

I honestly think html pages are only exceptable for pages that there r one of.

If its a whole site it should be php for consistency and you can change it.

QUOTE(schizo @ Oct 3 2008, 06:17 PM) *
HOLY CRAP.

I remember using those. CLICK.

Don't ask me what I was thinking when I made that.



YIKES! Another thing i hate! Links that change sizes when you hover!
