YOUR STANDARDS Options

This is something that was brought to the design staff's attention:
While the mods are the people who decide which layouts and graphics make it to the site, the members are ultimately the ones who use them and decide which ones are popular amongst users.

It would be greatly appreciated to take some time to fill this out. You can choose to fill out whichever sections you feel comfortable with. Feel free to use examples and express any concerns you have.

Myspace Layouts: Like members above have said, the Myspace Layout submissions are beginning to suffer. I am actually not even posting anymore, because the designs that are coming out don't appeal to me anymore and like flaymzofice mentioned -"it would be nothing but a long post of criticism - and I don't want to discourage anyone" from creating designs and submitting them. I am really starting to see more and more designs today that just aren't living up to the requirements. A designer that is worrying me at the moment is O amazing. Even though her ideas and themes seem to change with every design she creates, I still feel this tacky, messy aura coming from her work. I really don't think she is a horrible designer, but the fact that even after so much time of being a designer, her work just doesn't sit well with me. I'm very sorry O amazing; I just can't stand the look of most of your work. I am also sorry to IVIike; I know you try really hard, but it doesn't really show when you produce the same types of layouts over and over with many, having the same themes and colors. I just think you could try and leave this bland stage you're stuck in. Some current designers are on the right path towards success including: themarkster, Lanochka, and OmarGarcia.net, who I believe are doing great at being organized, clean, and fresh when it comes to designs. I think the requirements for the Acception/Rejection policy should be a bit more stricter and harsh. I also believe that many submissions need to be "cleaned out". I'm terribly sorry for this being long, and I didn't mean this as negativity towards anyone; I just wish that many more designers (including myself) would put a little but more thought and effort into their work.
