I just knocked this out about an hour ago for a friend of mine. Took about an hour and a half in photohop. :D Really its just a banner and background, but hey. Inspired by a line from "The only difference between martyrdom and suicide is press coverage" by Panic! at the Disco.

it's really nice.

except the text overlaps eachother at some parts, like the date. I dunno if that would the look you were going for or not.

I get you on that, I love Panic! myself but I was trying to make it for a guy and I didn't want to get too frilly. I have a big problem with frilly. And he specifically asked for something simple. Thats actually all he gave me lol. I was jammin out to my panic! cd and came up with the idea for it happy.gif

Its lovely, but I think the background should repeat horizontally as well, instead of being only behind the content so it looks uniform in higher resolutions.

umm...its supposed to repeat in all directions...I have my pc at 1280x1024 and it repeats for me. The image is pretty big to begin with so maybe it just looks that way? lol. are you using a different browser maybe? could you send me a screenshot? just because I'm an obsessive perfectionist and I wanna make sure it works :) Thanks for pointing it out.

I got it now, the black is part of the image not the end of the image. In that case, I'd say you should remove the black bad at the left & right of the background.

Sorry for the mix up, I can be a bit slow when I'm tired.

lol its all good. its actually supposed to look spaced out (hence all the black lol) but the actual blog sort of covers that factoid up. ooooh well, I think he'll live hehe. but thanks for the critique <3

Its a pretty simple layout, but I do like the graphics on it. The background image is really nice.
