Unsure..., :/ Options

I'm unsure of what to do with the headers to my updated Scenic layout.

I already submitted this but it got rejected & now I'm working on it and I'm seeing what I can do to the layout to make it look better.

The "reviewer" of this layout said that I needed to give image credit & work on the headers. I have image credit but I don't know what I should do with the layouts. I don't understand how the person thought they needed some work.

i dislike that the photo has a white border and the content area has a black border. i don't like the black anywhere though because there isn't any black in the picture/background and it's just making stuff look heavy. you could have just as easily used a grey from the background. it looks like separate pieces, maybe becuase there is really nothing tying the background and content area/picture together. also all the blue bars/text, those colors should be pulled from the picture in my opinion. that bright neonish blue doesn't look good to me, it looks out of place because it's not even the same hue/shade/whatever as the blues in the picture.


not saying that if you did that you'd get accepted because it's still not much. a lot of details make it look sloppy though.

Okay, I'll see what background I can put on there to make it look less heavy and I'll change the color of the border of the content. I will also see what shade/hue/whatever I can make the links and header text.

like everyone has said...this is what's wrong with your stuff, and it shows by how little attention to detail there is.

I look over & over my layouts/graphics before I post them on here. It really takes me only 5 minutes, but I take the other 5-10 minutes to look over my stuff. It's not like, I don't care.

You aren't improving at all. Honestly, I haven't seen any advice taken according to all the stuff you've been posting lately. It's like you're putting everyone's advice on a bookshelf and you just keep doing what you're doing.

I think I have improved a little since I took that break. I mean, I'm choosing fonts better and I've downloaded TONS of fonts & brushes.

I don't see how any of the advice that you guys/gals have said can be applied in this layout. Please explain.
