Layout For My Subdomain Options

[do0kie]

i've been working on this layout for my subdomain. its of from first to last. i tried not to use too many brushes. probably not that great,but i like it.what do you guys think? what could i improve on it?

^^click on the thumbnail

click
^^same layout,just doesnt have text.and used less brushes/effects

which one is better? constructive criticism and opinions would be greatly appreciated.

i like it! good job!

[HoodieObsessed]

*sigh*, tha'ts really really good, how come everyone has to be so much better than me? why can't everyone else really really suck so I can acutlaly look good for once?

anyway, it's awesome, and since I suck so much I dont' think you should take advice from me on how to improve it.

okay, I'll stop with my self pitying now, good job

EDIT

I like the first one best by the way

I like it, it looks really nice. Except, the "note to self" part in the middle isn't all that visible, unless you want it to be like that. But overall, I think the first one looks good.

Ooh, it's pretty! But you should space out the two images on the left side, and make the text not so squishy. =]

btw, I think this goes in website showcase?

^No because it shows a picture, and not a link to the website itself.

I love the first one. That shade of blue is really nice.

[me1issaaaa]

That looks oddly familiar... but maybe that's just me.
I like it a lot.
Only complaint are the lyrics - it looks like you're trying to squeeze them inbetween 2 of the pictures. That's alright, but it extends further to the right and into some of the pictures on the right and you can't see them.
Maybe instead of making it ".....Come back to me come back to me...", just say "come back to me" once and center it.
But that's just my opinion.
Looks good, though!

But the layout is for a website.

But they want criticism on the layout of the image not the website.

lol you guys are funny with your bolded and italisized words :3 haha i dont know why that just made me giggle

as for the layout image..i dont like it because
-too blue
-way too common of a layout
-way too common setup

i think it needs to be more creative..maybe im being so harsh right now is because i just had to spend like an hour looking through a bunch of site that look exactly..like..that.

in my opinoin i think you need more colors

i like the first one best. the only thing i suggest is to take out the second 'come back to me' and then move the text over to the right a little, just because you can't really read it in that area,but the whole thing looks really great!

i didnt want to use too many colors,becuase when i use a lot of colors in my layouts.. i dont like how they turn out. how could i make it more creative?

the lyrics are squished,but i wanted them that way
thanks everyone

[heyyfrankie]

i like the first one. i like it alot. the colors are great.

But people in the website showcase don't comment on just the website.

[do0kie]

thanks

also,my site isnt done,so wouldn't it have been spam if i would have posted the layout in there even though the actual site wasnt done? i just wanted opinions on the layout for now, not the site itself

[freeflow]

i like the first one as well .. it looks nice .. very blue but its ok

[do0kie]

thanks

thanks everyone 

i dont know how to tell you to be more creative
what i would do is make the place for your links horizontal instead of repeating down to the bottom like it does on most other personal blog/site layouts

i mean..im pretty much just picturing what its going to look like once you upload it and add your content i hope you know some cool coding tricks to help your page have more effect when people come by it

hmm that critique would be off topic

but for the image...and background..i would deffinately change the background to some thing else...i think your main problem is that you dont have any white in it and it needs it

[avalon*]

I like it, although it's sort of monotonous..

[do0kie]

thanks

[seriouslynikki]

The first one is the best. :) I love the brushes and pictures in there. maybe add some white in it or something. Plus, you should move the txt with "come back to me" since i cant really read it. Its nice though. :)

[do0kie]

thanks,i'll try and see how it looks with some white added in

[The-Mach-Hare]

oh its great and rustic looking!
