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. |

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.

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.

^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.

^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.
