My first layout graphic Options

I know its not as good as some of other like it out there, but I wanted to see if I could make one. Any feedback would be wonderful!

Layout

In case you're wondering, I used Paint Shop Pro 9.

I was unsure of what to put for the pictures, so I just found some on photobucket and put those there. I saved a version without the pictures so I could always change it.

Also, I hoping to be able to use this as a Myspace layout, so if anyone has any ideas on what I could use for the contact buttons. You know, the add, message, block, and such. I was thinking of using tags or stickers, but I was unable to find any I liked.

EDIT: Okay, here is take two.

Well, first off, don't use images from photobucket. That's not a stock image website. Try sxc.hu.

It's not bad, but the image quality is really low. You should save images like that as PNGs.

For the navigation, you could just add the links in a handwritten font at the top or bottom of one of the pages. Or, you could put the links on the light gray tape over the poloroids.

What ^she said. But also, the stock image with two people in them bothers me because (compared to the other one) of the difference in brightness/contrast.
I really do like the idea to put the links on the light gray tape over the polaroids, though.

Ah thank you! I remember reading somewhere about what to save images for a higher quality, but I couldn't remember what to save it as. Hmm... the idea about the links on the tape gave me an idea.

I'll try it out and see what you guys think. I'll also take off the pictures of the people.
