I've recently fallen in love with the work of Rolf Armstrong, and so I've decided to make a layout out of some of his work. I'm really not so sure about it... there's parts of it I'm crazy about, and parts of it I think might make me barf. I'm horrible when it comes to criticizing my own work though, so I'm here happy.gif. I was originally going with a sort of seamstress feel to it, with the bows, lace, ruler, and the middle pin up girl is sitting on a spool of thread... although it looks like that isn't coming across as well as I had hoped for. I'm really not sure about the grayish parts on the girls. I was trying to go for an old, grungy, sort of feel. Maybe to make it seem like tape had ripped or faded the pictures a little bit. So I'm not sure.



I'll be adding text eventually, I'm just not sure what. I think I might use this for a personal sight so probably something to do with that. So yea, any suggestions or criticism would be greatly appreciated thumbsup.gif

i agree about the bright pink. i mean the main girl in the middle is wearing pink pretty much, so if the bows were that color it would probably be ok. they look new and shiny and the rest looks vintage. besides that, i don't get a seamstress theme at all from it so the ruler looks really random. i wouldn't even really put the ruler unless you can make it more clear what the theme is. if you're dead set on having a ruler, you'd be better off using the kinda of tape measure that's actually used in sewing. this kind automatically makes people think of sewing, a wooden straight foot ruler, not so much.
