^Very funny, shut up. Because you sticking the Puma logo in the center of a black background is just gorgeous!

Background is too busy. Tone it down, or remove a few brushes, esp the paint splatter.

Just something to consider, since your theme is broken wings, maybe the wings on Avril could be broken.

Could you possibly help me getting the wings to look more broken?

Because you've always been RUDE to me and my designs, like your is so much better than anybody else's. I can just go throw the MTV logo in the center of a black background, add a content box and call it a layout!

I thought you wanted to get on DS?


OP, I don't really like it. I think it's the brushes they are kinda just random or don't fit. I like your previous stuff you just posted more.

Anyways, I agree with the paint brush and wings. Looks alright, tbh.

I like the new style you tried and the concept of it, but I suggest you lessen the use of brushes, or maybe it's just the position of them that makes it look a bit weird. Also, you should try to get a bit more creative with your layouts. It's like your banners are pretty good, but then all the content and the way the content area is displayed is just either looks too simple/plain/basic or it looks too tacky. Try using subtle colors and gradients. Additionally, when it comes to new styles, how about trying not to box everything in? Make your content become it's own borders. Use a different way of styling the way your footer looks. Maybe include something that's dynamic like a Javascript/Ajax menu of some sort. It's a pretty nice improvement to what you've done in the past, but it's still not very appealing. Ah yes, and let's not forget another important factor when it comes to designs, the font you choose. Your font should be easy to read, smooth, and attractive. Try to give the font some individuality by adding some styling to it in Photoshop or even using the new, lovely CSS3. Colors is also another biggie; you should make sure the colors you use flow well together and you should also make sure they wouldn't hurt someone's eyes (aka - clashing). In general, the layout is alright (it's not that bad), but it's still not very creative and appealing. Remember, try looking at high quality design tutorials and popular design tutorial/magazine sites like PsdTuts+ or SmashingMagazine. thumbsup.gif

On another note, try using a texture or brush to make the wings seem broken and you should make your content area much more larger, it's WAY too small. O_o

obviously the overall concept matches and I think the "How do you feel" font is a a nice choice, the elements you selected match with the theme of the design and can be used if used properly. You dont need to tone down anything, just work on blending it in more and making it look more natural, in fact you might need more filters and textures to help out, right now the brushes looked slapped on there. The content arrangement is good as well but the Avril picture looks low quality for a layout, try to find better quality for that as well

I think the whole headings/navigation/everything should be aligned towards the right, and try making usage of the black empty space. You have so much to work with, I would like to see the end result.

Eh...it looks like a bunch of brushes mashed together. Why not experiment with structure instead of using the same template and a new celebrity every time?

I'd like it if it were centered. I do agree with the splatter being too much; it's too bold. I like the navigation a lot, actually.
