I can't get past the grammar. On your front page, that should be "hotlink" not "hotlinked."

Also, I second most of what Divergent said.

sorry about the ad. It was never there before. But LJ puts it there for people who don't have LJ. If you do, the add isn't there at all. And in the future, i'll try not to over-texturize.

As far as the icons go, I just want to apply colouring to it. I didn't want to do too much (or if any) with these.

QUOTE(divergent @ Feb 26 2009, 04:13 PM) *
Okay, I see now, the layout is on his main page, I was just on one of the icon pages. Well about the icons they all look like screen caps to me, with the very minimum done, it looks bad, to me. Just cropping out a screen cap after sizing it down. It looks like you may have changed the overall tone of the pictures, but nothing else after that. So you mass produced is what it looks like, I've seen some of your icons before, I know that you can make really great ones, if you're putting effort towards it, these don't look like your best effort. As far as the layout, it's nice, but with the livejournal tables, it looks like its either misaligned, or cramped up. There's an ad behind the sidebar. Doesn't look good to me, I think if the ad is still going to be on the page, you should make the effort to incorporate it somehow with the layout, not try and hide it half way. The banner for the layout is okay. You used really good photos to make it, but like Mike said, it is over-textured.

I like all the gg icons that you made.

JOSH DUHAMEL :D good choice.
Umm, pretty much what Mike said and I don't like the red stroke around "Josh Duhamel" on the banner.

the navigation bar looks very misaligned in firefox /= i don't know if it's because i don't have livejournal or not but it's overlapping the banner and the body... other than that, it looks good (:

I like icons 36 & on. I'm not really feeling the red, tbh. As for the layout, I'm having the same problem as Gabrielle but I'm using Safari. But I love the banner. throb.gif

You did a really nice job on those icons. Like others, I don't care for the red toned color but that's more of a personal preference that an actual criticism. I like how you don't feel a need to add text. I find that quite often, text takes away from the integrity of a graphic.

I'm on FF and the layout appears slightly misaligned. The nav bar is on top of the body (where you post) and cuts off the left side of your post. There's also a red thingie sticking out on the right side of the nav bar. Other than that, lovely banner and I like that greenish tone you used throughout.
