myspace critique, did I overdo it? Options

I used coffee stains for the header but I don't know if I over did it for the rest of the layout

Hmmm..........

It's good. I don't think you overdid the coffee stains since they were meant to be for content. IMO, it doesn't look too appealing since it's just coffee stains and a header W/ coffee stains. But it's still good.

I agree with Relentless, although each section of content doesn't fit so perfectly in each stain of coffee. I also think the layout overall looks kind of monotone, since it uses the same colors throughout.

since the consensus is boring/monotone

any suggestions for pizazz?

like a nice soft green or something?

The fact that the stains are such odd shapes makes it more interesting to use as containers for content, just be careful. In the top section, it's not quite within the confines of the stain. That makes it slightly harder to read, due to the deep contrast between the stains and the background colour. And always pay attention to scroll. Make sense?

And despite everyone else's insistance to add another colour, perhaps you should look more into making the coffee stains slightly different shades. If you've never seen multiple coffee stains, the same kind of coffee can create a ton of different shades, depending on the circumstances.

They're usually not even as dark as the ones you have.

i agree with everyone. I like the idea though i think it has potential... maybe make the content areas something other then coffee stains
