Pin up girls, Layout? I think so... Options

[LaRachel]

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 . 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

I agree with what everyone has said. The low image quality was the first thing I noticed. Honestly I think you should start over again. I mean the idea's cute but yeah. :/
