um... this layout would be better had it been centered, and the contact table doesn't fit to the layout.
your content (info of you) is off too much to the right is that intentional?

as for the image... i get the idea you have beind the layout but maybe a better image and use of brushes will work out to fit to your layouts theme

yeah i tryied about the about me stuff but i can get it to get in there right.
and also do u kno how to do the rollovers for the nav?

also in what way do u cut out things and pepole etc..?
do u use adobe?

^ You can cut out things with any of the lasso tools, the magic wand, or the pen tool. (With photoshop). See the graphics help forum for the many topics on cutting.


Regarding the layout I agree with above. Because of how it is, I would say it would look better centered. Oddly maybe the layout will look better with a border? Maybe not. But yea the content for about you should be over more to the left. And the music player is too far to the right as well. Its not bad though. :]

What do you mean by boxes? Maybe I can help.

[wildncrazyath3rt]

which is the fastest? the pen tool?
and does it get rid of evrything?
and also i would like to make
the long boxes like the ones in this layout.. like were it says "username here"

I can't say whats the fastest it depends on how fast you go. It depends which one you have experience with. It only gets rid of everything if you cut it out right. They don't do it by themselves you have to trace around the images.

Basically you mean the headers right? You make a div and you can customize it . I'm assuming she added borders. Then you make a font class and add a background imae to it, and customize the text. You can learn the whole font class thing here:

The second code would be where you add background-image: url(urltoimage);

Thats one way to do it, if you want to know her exact method just ask.

yeah - i'd center it, and the font for add, msg, etc. doesn't quite seem to fit with the theme. nice job, though.

[Relentless]

It looks good other than people already mentioned, centering & better choice of font. It's low content yet simple.
But I do like how the railroad tracks are colored and the other parts of the image is black/white.

using photoshop using the pen tool is better
unless u want more control then make a image mask and with a black brush color (which is like erase) the stuff u don't want
u can look at photoshop tutorials anywhere.

Yea you can use pentool, lassos, etc to do that. I believe there is one tutorial in the tutorial section, but not sure which tool its for.
