PERFECTION IS NOT POSSIBLE, UNLESS YOU ARE A MODERATOR/etc., how can u set such high standards? Options

Dear createblog,
When I first started creating layouts I was excited. I felt great everytime I got one layout to work after hours of trying... Then when I submitted them to createblog... I got rejection after rejection. Your petty standards are pushing designers away. Why do you want all the layouts to conform to the same exact organization, style, etc.(i like squares, not circles). They are all neat, clean, etc. But who wants a layout that looks like all the rest? I definitely don't. and I'm sure no one else does either. And to be honest with you all: you have ruined most designers creativity (well mine) by making boring layouts the standard. ALSO WHO THE HELL HAS THE TIME TO CREATE A PERFECT LAYOUT... no, no, if we could create perfect layouts: don't you think we'd be getting paid? not sitting at create blog. It's time you all realize that not many designers on createblog are professionals. I am not. and if all you can come up with when you critique a layout is: the text should be in a box not a circle. then you are LAME. if you can accept layouts that absolutely SUCK and are not even aligned right, then why can't u accept the different ones that are aligned right? I am fed up with createblog.

I'm not going to bother with reading ever post you made, I read the first few.

The second layout the text is really clean and its not sharp around the edges and looks really smooth. Your layout the text is a bit sharp, maybe tone that down a bit and also its really busy by the millions of different texts you choose. Also maybe decide to hide the bottom links their showing through the image near the bottom and extending past the image. Also some other links are as well.


I have to agree with Trish in the early post, I would never never never use either of these layouts. The thunder layout the pictures with the crappy boxes behind them doesn't look all that great..

Oh I finally noticed where the navigation was in your layout...see you put to much of the same text and if someone used it I'm sure who ever choose to use it would possibly have a lot of complaints about where the links were because they don't stand out and just blend in way to much.


In the end, you know everyone has a different opinion on what looks good and pleasing to the eye then another person. Yea of course createblog has to have some standards; I personally wouldn't want to come on here if there was a whole bunch of shitty layouts... You win some you lose some. When your layouts were rejected you should have received a PM back saying why your layout was rejected and were in the rules it went against. And if they didn't do that then you should have PMed the moderator back and asked.
