what's wrong with my layouts? Options

[Melie]

i've submitted over 10 layouts to createblog and only one layout was approved to be used here. and now the one layout that i made, was removed. i'm wondering if other people could check out my layouts and please provide me with constructive critism. please don't hold back...i need to know what it is that i'm doing wrong so that i can one day have so many layouts on this website that i'll need to create my own one ahhh...only a dream...my skem9 layouts

I like some of your layout *concepts*. I like the purple and white layout and I'm guessing that might have been the one that got accepted at first. Your layouts could use a little retouching (like the *bevel/emboss* isn't very attractive) and more of a flow.

I'll be honest though, anyone's style who is different on here AKA who doesn't blend images of some girl with a forlorn expression with colorization and some grunge brushes here and there... usually will not be accepted.

Most of the stuff on this website is fantastic, don't get me wrong, but 90% of it looks EXACTLY THE SAME. Same techniques. Same themes. It's a little annoying sometimes.

And other times I look at it and I'm like ?why was this accepted? but apparently the more "active" you are on here, the more likely your work will be accepted.

Embrace your individuality and don't feel discouraged if this website doesn't accept you, as long as your stuff makes you happy.
