[xmagicked]

umm what big brown box, maybe raise your resoluton.

[xmagicked]

i guesss since its on the 2nd page now nobody wants to post for me lol *tear* haha

[jz1134]

did u do that image in adobe in design?because if i new how to do the stretch thing i could do that however it does look very nice and i am sure it did take a long time because animation in indesign takes quite awhile id say the only thing that i could ever think of that u could do to improve this is to image map cuz i like to actually c the modules usually but nice job

[babiedoll03]

its pretty cool... the colors go well together.. but its too small.. but it looks pretty cool! good job

[jz1134]

ehh im sorry but just to follow up with my last post well theres a huge brown space in between ur picture and ur blog and if u took that away it would look alot nicer so yeah but anyway gj

[xmagicked]

liek right under the XXXXXXX?

[*[2]Nekked*]

i dont like your color choice.. you need a color to relieve the viewer from the brownish/orange tones, otherwise it seems sorta boring to the eye. and your lines are rigid

[mony0407]

WOAH! thats freakin AWESOME!!! good job!!! 10000/10

[xmagicked]

i dont like your color choice.. you need a color to relieve the viewer from the brownish/orange tones, otherwise it seems sorta boring to the eye. and your lines are rigid

umm im not quiet sure what your sayign...but umm i think yoru the onyl one who doesnt like it..sorry. but if you want can you please tell me what you mean by that^ i can take critisizm but like...come on?

[*[2]Nekked*]

umm im not quiet sure what your sayign...but umm i think yoru the onyl one who doesnt like it..sorry. but if you want can you please tell me what you mean by that^ i can take critisizm but like...come on?

i thought my critique was sorta self explanatory but here goes:

you have too much brown tones going on. in color theory, you learn to have some kind of relief color for the viewer so it isnt too boring. try a brighter green, and more of it. or some white. white would be good. maybe some big white lines or white circles... i like the concept, but it could be better.

and im the only who doesnt like it because im a bit more experienced than anyone else who commented here..

[sewerz1000]

niiiiiiiiiiice...awesome

[*AngelicEyz00*]

o0o, I <3 it! It reminded me of hollister for some reason, haha. Good job

[jz1134]

and im the only who doesnt like it because im a bit more experienced than anyone else who commented here..

ok ummmm about that ^^^^ ill have to admit that u r pretty skilled in skin design but ive seen many other people in here who are very talented skin designers and i guess that wat ur gonna say is that they r talented to u because u r untalented but yeah im usually pretty good at being able to tell whats wrong ehhh so yeah but anyway i dont want to get into an arguement so yeah

[*[2]Nekked*]

i meant that this is my field of study, so i may have better judgement? and the blog is fine where it is.

[TrannieL]

wow that's awesome!! i love the layout!! <3333 u deserve 10/10

[souldreamers]

omg I didn't know that this was in showcase?! I actually saw your layout a couple days ago when I clicked on your sig somewhere.. hehe Yea I'm *jealous* I don't know how to make neat animation like that. I like everything about your layout, it's super cool. I love all the colors, very well done... I can tell you put a lot of effort into the details. *props*

YOU'RE souldreamers! i knew the name looked familiar. yknow whats funny? I thought u were pretty cool. i looked through your little picture gallery of ur lil girl; she's a real cutey. i was gonna pm u to say that too but i forgot ur account name. too bad u think im a disrespectful bitch.

Yea that is too bad. You would probably be really cool too if you didn't have such a "hard head" attitude. I don't think you'll ever realize how many people you have offended in your crusade to "try" to help everyone. You don't have to criticize people all the time... and especially not in a rude tone. People are at different skill levels in web design and they would appreciate a compliment from time to time.

yeah you pretty much summed that up. well done! lol

[babiedoll03]

yeah i agree.. all her comments are not comments they are, "well, you did this horrible nad this looks bad and this is just plain ugly." well, things arent judged by how YOU like them... they are judged on how good they are or not. Give someone some comments as to how they can improve dont just slam down their work. Like you did mine. you know.. I'm jsut a beginner and i only have paint.. so work with me for cryin out loud! Thats why people have an issue is because all you do i tear people down... and you are only 17... I'm 20.. you have no "FIELD OF STUDY" at 17. thats just plain stupid... and you know.. for your "field of study" being web design.. your skins really arent that great. but anyway i'm done.. i'm gonna start being mean.. lol

edit// Btw: my "field of study" is psychology.. and 2nekked I would have to say that you need to see a psychologist.. but you know.. i'm experienced and all

um sweety first of all im 17 going on 18, (my birthday is in december. if you were so smart, you could figure out what level of school i was in by my birth date). im in my freshman year. so yes i have a field of study.

second of all, i did happen to throw down some suggestions on how they couldve improved it, if you actually read at all, i did that all day yesterday. if other people can pretty much understand that, then i expect you guys to be just as mature. did they post it in here for compliments or for critique?it comes with the territory. this is xanga showcase, so expect people to give u critique and suggestions. and i never said anyone did anything horrible, i SAID that it was a good idea, and it was a job well done, but there were a few things that could be worked on, so dont turn this around on my ass saying i insulted anyone because i was careful not to.

and eh? yknow what? i may very well need a psycholigist. actually i think most people living in this world needs a psycholigist at some point.

and souldreamers, OKAY. AHAHA THIS COMING FROM THE CHICK WHO WAS LIKE "EW LUCY LIUS SKIN TONE IS NOT GOOD" ON MY RAW-INTENT LAYOUT. DONT BE A HYPOCRITE. I TRIED TO BE NICE TO YOU, BUT ALL U WANNA DO IS WHINE AND BITCH.

[2]nekked i agree with soemhtings you say but dont start callin people out for no effin reason. calm down and go bitch soemwhere else

but i do think you can givce suggestiosn but your way too mean about it... and sorry at the age of 17 you dont know shit sorry honey...

hahah i dont know shit? alright. whatever you say

and i didnt call anyone out. she called me out.

[melface]

bitch and whine, bitch and whine!... Trish, honey... that's all we're going to ever see, here at createblog...

As for the person is who 20 with psychology as their field of study... Obviously, you are not certified... and you do not have your Ph.D or MD [to be a psychiatrist]. That would take more than 2-3 years. So, what gives you the right to recommend a psychologist to anyone? Which, by the way, I also know a good deal on psychology, myself. Also, if you were 20, I would assume your username would indicate an age difference between the pre-teens here and you, being a 20 year old. But the funny thing is, I, being 17 years old... type better than you. You should be ashamed of yourself... If you want to sit there and tell people they need a psychologist, then that's just fine, but I feel sorry that you want to be a hypocrite... Because obviously, there must be something wrong with you if you're still typing as if you were 14.

For souldreamers, stop being a hypocrite. And, hell, I'm not even INTO webdesign but I will still give my critique on whether or not the layout looks good, or what not. You don't have to be skilled in webdesign to be a critic... it just takes common sense... like colors, for example... Unless you're color blind, which I'm most definitely not. So, why don't you just scratch out your "compliment from time-to-time" idea, because this IS showcase afterall... and people come here for opinions of others.


And to magicked or whatever it is... Nice layout, but a brighter green or white would make it more attractive...

[*taste this*]

yknow what's retarded? people keep going on and on about how everyone should stop kissing ass and just give their honest opinions. so here we have christine, giving you her honest opinion, and even some helpful suggestions to go along with it, and all people can do is whine, and say shes a bitch. newsflash sweety, this is xanga showcase. you dont want people to critique your work? dont post it. you brought it upon yourself.

and me and christine are both 17, in college. christine's already done 8 professional websites for pay, so if you thinks he "doesnt know shit" maybe you should run that by the people who pay her to do this.

stop acting like the poor victim of criticism. she did it to like 15 other people in this forum, and MOST of them took her suggestions and thanked her like mature adults. they even admitted that it looked better with her suggestions. i'm sorry, but if you're the only one taking this sooo personally, than that really says a lot about you.

and souldreamers, im getting really sick of you. you bitch and moan about how supposedly, my sister's SUCH a bitch, but she's the one who tried to be the bigger person and put this crap behind her and be nice to you. But YOU, being SO MATURE, just wants to bitch because she happened to give her opinion about something. yknow what that makes you? a hypocrite. seriously, just get a life, and stop focusing so much on my sisters, because she has enough shit to deal with in her life. she really doesnt need to be dealing with people as close minded and anal as you.

he ASKED why she seemed to be the only person that said something bad about the layout. OH GOD, ONE PERSON SAID SOMETHING BAD. she never said the entire thing was horribly done, and she never said she didnt like it. she said the color choices could have been better, and the lines were a bit rigid. souldreamers, you told her lucy's skintone was bad on her site layout, when that was the point. the POINT was to have her be gray so that the brightness of the rest of the layout would show direct contrast to the vector.

people should just stop assuming shit and trying to bitch about crap that they dont even have a clue about.

[angelbaby317]

your pretty talented. Awsome Job!! 10/10

I don't want to get into all this, but I understand that you all don't want to be critisized by 2nekked and all, but she did give a compliment and she did give a suggestion. She never said it sucked. So just leave her alone and let her have her own opinions.

[souldreamers]

Me the one who bitches and whine? *rolls eyes* Please go take a look in the mirror.

And yea Lucy Lui's skin did not look good there. If I did something you didn't like you would have definitely told me in the rudest possible manner. I contained myself and was NOT rude to you (although I probably should have been.) But look at what you said to me... which was not even as bad as what you said to the next girl. Why is it that you LOVE to criticize people BUT you can't take any sort of criticism yourself. My oh my... the world may never know.
You will never learn. I am really sick of it, no wonder so many ppl on cb strongly dislike you.

for your viewing pleasure. The whole "Lucy Lui" thing...

nice use of color, well put together.. but Lucy Lui's skin color there just doesn't look GOOD!

whats wrong with chrome? just cuz its a bit out of the norm??
be serious here.

its really pretty, but the rainbows don't match with the sickly-grey skin tone.

otherwise - i love it ^_^

check your color settings. its not GREY. its silver.
and i made that contrast between color and silver for a REASON.
please dont post if ur gonna be stupid, and not actually pay attention.
people have this skewed theory that everything in this world has to match and it has to be pretty and pastelly and harmonic

oh wow you are so mature!

I'm through with you, leave me alone and grow-up!

when is everyone going to stop being so immature and realize that i wasnt TRYING to be mean. i was giving my critique and suggestions. THATS THE POINT OF XANGA SHOWCASE.

criticism that steers the designer away from her actual theme/design is not applicable criticism.

good criticism would be like: maybe you should change this part, or add this color.

or, hmm it looks a bit unorganized, try containing it in a div.


WHICH IS ALL I SAID TO ANYONE YESTERDAY. if you dont want your work to be criticised IN AN INTELLIGENT MANNER, then dont post your work up. its as simple as that. or you can say so before hand and be like "i dont want critique"

thats whats sad. No one ever will! They always think that because you help them out by changing something your being mean. It thats just not fair. They don't understand the fact that what they did was great and that your just trying to teach them on how to make it even better. They just want to make a very talented designer (which is you) look bad by saying what you said was mean. Its as simple as that. Come on people! 2nekked has her opinions too!

[SOMEWHATnumb]

STFU 2NEKKED. You will always be rude and stupid. Get a life!


by the way nice layout xmagicked

[yummy_delight]

hm... the layout is good. i'd give it a 9/10 only because personally, i'm not big on the color scheme. but the animation rocks! great job!

and it looks to me like some people here only want to hear praise and "ooohs" and "aaahs" as opposed to constructive criticism. xanga showcase isn't here just so you can "show off" your xanga, it's also here so that you can find ways to make it better. i agree with [2]Nekked. if you don't want a critique, then say it. also you don't HAVE to take other people's suggestions. after all, it IS your xanga so you can do pretty much whatever the hell you want with it. these are OPINIONS people. don't take them seriously.

Yes, I agree but also disagree.
Trish has been kinda rude in many topics I ran by..

[DesperateXMeasur...]

To be honest, the layout is somewhat distracting with all the animation. And I agree, you should add a bit more green. Other than that it's pretty nice.

XMajicked: I think you are being just a tad bit sensitive and unreasonable. I think [2] Nekked's comment was not horrible and mean. She was giving a suggestion. Even if you DON'T like her comment, atleast be mature about it, and say okay. I critique people like that all the time. I don't see anyone getting all upset about it.
Seriously, just chill out.
