okay so i submitted this layout called Perception like a week ago,
http://www.createblog.com/layouts/preview.php?id=27476 that. so i had to resubmit it only for the fact that I was blocking the ad then I resubmitted it showing the ad, then today someone rejects it again, but this time its a different person on the design staff, Im outraged not because of the fact that it was rejected but im outraged at why it was rejected and when it was rejected again, so highway4355 accepted the layout and out of all my submissions, this one got the most fave and the best feedback from the community, then another design mod rejects it saying that the layout looks dirty [THATS THE WHOLE POINT OF THE LAYOUT!!] I WAS GOING FOR A DIRTY GRUNGE FEEL, and Im mad that it got rejected A WEEK LATER, not even a day or 2 days a whole WEEK and a couple extra days [I THINK]it got over 80 faves the first 2 days, that more then those other accepted layouts I see, I personally thought for a few days that the standards were going down because some of the ones that I see are getting accepted are ridiculous, you can tell the CSS was stolen an tweaked. Anyway I think that the design staff is really unorganized and often to many times RUDE. thanks for reading.

just a bit of constructive feedback:
i happen to love the layout, if you were to do a couple of minor tweaks to it. there's a little too much white space at the top, and a tad pointless to scroll down to view all the content. if you could chop off until just above the "home" link, it would feel a little more "homely."

also, try moving the links so they're right next to the advertisement (falling below it, of course).

there's one thing i find i really don't like about some layouts. that's the scroll bar in a div. maybe if you could have the "about me" box be elastic and conform to how much a person writes? maybe you could move that below the ad, to the direct left of the links. if it scrolls past the page because of how much is written, you could put a grungy background on the sides.

finally, the tv is cool, but it doesn't go very well with the theme. i'd save it for another one - it's an awesome idea.

thank you, this was actually an experiment more than a really submitted layout the white space was because the layout was small, I liked thr idea of having a layout fill the entire page, but after I saw it on myspace I didnt like how it turned out and I added more white space, and I agree I dont really like the scrollbars in divs either but it was too hard to change later and I agree the tv is out of place, but remember this is an experiment of a new grungy style because I have seen this kid of style a lot, but Im open to contructive criticism, :] thannks grrdesign;]
