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.

Change the font you used for "scenic" for sure. And be more discrete with your watermarks. What if you add a like blue fading into white gradient for your background? Iono.

What watermark? If you're talking about the "© marinshe" on it, like I said in the start of this topic, the reviewer said I had to give credit to where I got the image and that's what that is.

Of course white looks worse. Just that choice of background was awful. It too square. Next time, I suggest spend at least an hour.

O and on your edit, the header, is way to tall. People will have to scroll so much. Try mimiking another website. But don't submit it, and then try and make your own design. You really aren't taking any of our advice. Even if it's not annoying others, it's annoying me how you post new things you made in ten minutes in the showcase booth everyday. How is someone supposed to critique something that took you an hour. Making a layout quick doesnt make you look skilled, it makes you look lazy.

Golden rule: work harder.

Okay, I'll take what you say into consideration witht my next layout.

I took like 3 months for a break and didn't post anything in the showcase booth so don't say I post things everyday. This was going to be the last one. GEEZ.

Not if the layouts I make quick are REALLY good. I'd rather be quick and really good than really good and REALLY SLOW.

I agree with Nat. Try using a white to blue gradient background that goes down vertically and the reason it looks weird centered is because the image is tall so adjust the height of that. Change the font that says "Scenic" too. Otherwise, it's alright.

Okay. Check it out in about an hour and see how it looks then.

If that's the updated version, then why the *censored* are the headers still black? o.o

If you look at the time that I edited it then you'll figure that part out.

That's just it. There is no such thing as "quick and really good." Good things take time, as evidenced by the plethora of critiques given to you on a design that took 10 minutes.
