It looks like emberfly just took the template sheet from Hollister's main website and pasted it onto his profile. mellow.gif And his HCO Music tab leads to the main Hollister Co music site.

Anywho, I vote for Saikou, because she has Song Hye Kyo on her page. *nods* Oh and congratulations to Sarah for winning last month's cB profile.

Well the template thing is a bit different but definitely NOT original, because there are so many 'copied template' layouts these days..but you should fix that music thing.

I'm not sure if emberfly should get the credit for basically taking holisterco.com's layout and then putting his own content on top of it.

actually i'm pretty sure that is copyright infringement. sorry. i'm gonna have to veto that. emberfly, you can expect a PM from me soon about your layout.

Actually, that's not creative at all. Stealing a site's template and then using it as your own layout makes you look unoriginal. And the two votes probably weren't even about your layout, just the fact that you're desperate to win (sorry to break it to you, but that's what I can tell). Good job on stealing a template from Hollister's site! I totally vote for you! /endsarcasm.

The template IS a bit different, but the fact that it's basically jocked from the site and it actually redirects to the site from the music is absolutely ridiculous. It looks exactly alike, except for the inside boxes. He could at least be original and fancy it up in his own personal style.

It wasn't "broken" I purposely linked it to their music player. I didn't just copy the layout directly. I had to take a screenshot, remove many things in GIMP, color the blog in GIMP, image map the entire thing (I chose the links dumbass(es) ) and I had to align it. I really liked it, but w/e I guess it was "jocking." I agree, there are many "stolen templates," like using program skins such as music players and etc, layouts, especially on CB. I was simply using that idea; say what you want.

That is utterly uncalled for. When you post a layout, especially when you're promoting your site for a "of the month" win, you really should accept criticism, accept that people have taken the time to actually look at your layout.

I think the design community in generally frowns upon jocking, period, regardless of how innocent it may be or seem. From the distant eye, it would appear that you are promoting something of your own without it being completely something of your own. Sure, you personalized it. But there's a huge difference between personalizing something and actually coding something entirely. That's all I'm saying.

when people use things like ipods, phones, etc for their layouts its completely different than using an actual WEBSITE LAYOUT for your own site. i don't see how you couldn't see the difference there.

the whole point of _otm is that the graphics and the coding need to be made by the designer.

I vote for saikou!

As for emberfly's old HCO profile... I guess everyone pretty much already covered it all. I know you were trying to be "creative", but actually taking the designs (whether it may be print-screening or saving the image) is not creative at all. In fact, it's the most unoriginal thing imaginable. It's called PLAGIARISM. You always talk about learning about grammar in school... I'm surprised you haven't covered plagiarism yet.
