I've got a question........, about some of the rejected layouts on the new guidelines page. Options

Some of the div overlay layouts that you had on there weren't that bad looking to me.

All of the one's i liked on there would be:

V for Vendetta
I this one I see that the image quality is a tiny bit low but if I liked Vendetta then I would use it.

Narcissim
I don't understand what image in this layout is low. I don't see it on my computer. I'm using ff too.

Penguin Love
In this one I understand that the image quality is low but I would use that layout. I love penguins and this layout is cute.

Medical Mayhem
I don't see anything wrong with this layout. It says there are too many brushes and/or textures but I think it's awesome! I would most definitely use this layout if there were a code.

All I really want to know is why these are deleted.

schizo already explained why it's rejected.

as much as i am in LOVE with V , the blending is horrible.

the second one, the image button are too low.

the penguins looks idk, blurry, it looks pretty bad

the last one, there's too much brush & texture work.

V for Vendetta:
The blending is bad. Also it doesn't... become one with the background.

Narcissism:
The image quality is low. If you look closely, you can see the fuzziness on the image. Also a better font could have been chosen for "Narcissism."

Penguin Love:
It's cute but the edges on the penguins are choppy & not straight. Also, I feel that more can be added to it.

Medical Mayhem:
It's just bad, tbh. I would have used a different font, & the combination of textures & brushes don't really go together.

V. = I dissagree. The image on my screen fits perfectly with the background color. If your talking about the google and myspace search bars showing, SO WHAT. Cb staff here is so picky.

Narcissim. = I think the font for the word narcissim looks fine and if you have to look closely at it then it shouldn't effect whether it gets accepted or rejected.

Penguins. = I agree that the image quality is low and that there could've been more added to it but i would use it.

Medical Mayhem. = what does tbh mean? I'm not that good with aim lingo. I think the combination that this person had does go together. I really like it.

I know schizo already explained but I disagree with the reasons he gave for some of them.

I don't see where the blending is horrible in V.

For the 2nd one, Cb staff is going to let something that tiny effect whether it gets accepted or not. LAME

I understand that the penguins are blurry. I would't care about that if it looked cute and it does. I really think the Cb staff should put up polls on whether layouts get accepted or rejected. That would be fair. Everyone could pitch in instead of just 1 or a few Cb staff looking at it.

Same thing with the last one. I disagree with everyone. I would use this one in a heartbeat. No questions asked.

No, it's just that we actually have standards, unlike other resource sites that let people sign up and automatically have their layouts accepted no matter how good or bad they are.

Then it would take too long for layouts to be accepted or rejected. If most or all of the Design Staff agrees that a layout should be rejected, then it's going to be rejected. We can't accept every layout just because although it's not up to our standards, a few people might still use it. If you really want to, go to the designer's layout MySpace or website and use their layouts that way.

BTW, schizo (Gabi) is a girl.
