I have submitted many layouts. And many of them get rejected. I understand that rejection is a natural part of learning, but I can't really learn if all I get in the rejection notice is, "It does not meet the minimum standards". I think it would be better if you had a topic that described what you're looking for in a submitted layout. That way anybody that wants to submit a layout can look at it and see what you're looking for, and you don't have to personally tell each member what you didn't like if they get rejected. Just a thought, and now I'm done.

I hate to tell you this, but we do.
 [ http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=77054 ] Besides, if you surf around in the skins section... You'll begin to see a minimum standard. Along with that, each mod has their own quality standards and such, so... Yeah. |

Like Reiri said, each mod has their own standard.
What do some of your skins look like ? |

The mods and I have been working on a list to explain our minimum stardards of skin approval. When I find time, I will post these for viwing but for now...
Good clean and uncluttered design readable text pleasant and suitable color scheme clear theme originality reasonable loading time balance between graphics and text easy navigation consistency Bad poor organization overuse of scripts poor quality images jocked images misaligned elements inappropriate/offensive theme broken images tacky text or image effects too bright or busy background image double scrollbars mulitple fonts, sizes, and colors |

Having multiple fonts is kinda distracting. It's okay if it jut the hover or heading font, but if every link is a different size/color/font, it really doesn't help much. And besides, you can't read anything.
