This one has no scrolls, which is basically what everyone was complaining about.
Take a look!

So much better! Now, could you bring some of the blue in the stripes into the blended image? Sometimes a large round brush with a fuzzy edge (or 0% hardness) on a layer set to "Lighten" could make some really interesting effects.

Also, I encourage you to try and blend the content area with the blended banner instead of using lines to separate everything.

I'm not sure. You could try submitting, though.

It won't get accepted. But for the last time, spend more time on one, layout ten an hour.

Things for you to do. Center it. Use an image for the content stuff instead of what it is now. Aka, a grey background and a black border on the left and right. Make the banner, bland a little better.

Nope. You need to slow down a little and spend more time on designs. Also, large bold text for your headers isn't always a good idea. For example, do people have to know that the links are entitled "Navigation"? They should speak for themselves And, is "credits" as important as the content header?

Try to make up a priority list of what is most important in your website and rank them. Make the ones on the top of the list more prominent in order than the ones on the bottom. Also, I'd like to see a live preview of the layout templates you make sometime...

And since you are thinking about submitting, consider the visual balance of your layout. It seems like the entire thing is top heavy with lots of clumps of dark color. Also, the content isn't centered evenly with the banner.

Yeah blend the background and your banner. I'm not really feeling the stripes in the tables, where the headings are. Same with the font you used for "Lindsay." But you are getting better. nod.gif
