Okay. Time to be Designer Simon Cowell.


Stop posting so many things at a time and getting uuber defensive when someone critiques you. Here are my tips for you. One, LEARN YOUR PROGRAM. Learn it backwards and forwards. Learn the many ways to do ONE THING. Surf online, surf the software websites for tutorials, but LEARN YOUR PROGRAM. Two, learn design. Learn about color, text, the elements and principles. You have to learn the rules before you can break them. Three, sit down, shut up, and actually do these things. I realize that this is incredibly brutal but you're one of the beginners who thinks too highly of themselves at a beginner state.

I'm SO SORRY for being incredibly blunt but I can't really think of a different way to sugar coat these things for you.

This. Definitely.

I know I ranted in one of your other topics about how you react to people's help. It still seems like you want everyone to tell you step-by-step exactly what to change. That isn't how the Showcase Booth works. People will give you feedback, but it's up to you to make those changes. You should be glad that people are still giving you feedback after all the topics you have made and after you repeatedly ignored their advice.

Although you can actually code a layout, it looks like you're using the same codes for everything and just changing the positioning of the content areas and the colors. When you make layouts you need to focus on two things: the images and the codes. Even if you have a great image, and you just recycle a code and try to make the image you already made fit it, it isn't going to look as good as it could. Your layouts are really simple, and that's fine, but if you're going to do something really simple then you need to find a way to make it interesting. This is where the coding can help you.
