Hey, everyone. It's me again trying to do something I'm only an amatuer at. Haha. Anyway, I like the picture in the corner and how he's holding up the words 'Dark Star'. The dude is Beck and Dark Star is one of his songs just to let you know. T=E is in there again, I think I'm just going to keep that in there for all my pictures just so I don't have to have some stupid credit.

I am not that pleased with the links, and where I should place the main text, so if you guys have any suggestions, even if it's on the picture that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, guys.

The graphic itself could use a little work, but the the way you put everything together is nice. It has a professional feel, was that what you were going for?

I would completely redo the graphic. The swirl brushes are out of style and the colors aren't the most effective combination out there. As well, the threshold composition of the image itself, has a grainy feel.

Dowload some new brushes and put some different effects on the guy and it should be okay. Also choose a color scheme. Just pick 2-3 colors and stick with em

The text should look fine if you keep it to the right of course

No, I wasn't really going for a professional look. Cool that you think so though. Thanks.

The picture is a little grainy. Any suggestions on how to cut down on that? I used the blur tool and it looked like crap, so I'm not going to use that.

Haha. I love the swirls. Thanks. Haha. No, but I understand. Do you have any good sites for brushes, cause all the sites I go to don't really have any good ones.

Thanks for the comment. Peace.

The t=e thing isn't bugging me , but I find that the brushes look a little too random and they look as if they were just thrown on there. I don't think the brushes used really fit well. I don't know maybe splattered-ish ones or a few (not a lot ) grunge-ish type things. The image is a little grainy like you said, but I don't know how to fix it. Eh =/

I really do love the "dark star" part and the navigation. The date part would seem better if it was moved over to the left more.

In my opinion, I think that the guy itself is grainy, but I like what you're going for. I agree with the above posts, how you should use different brushes and use a color scheme. Some of the things on there are a bit too random. But great idea forming.

I like the links positioning and main content area isn't too bad, but I hate the graphic...
