You all know what? You're right. I'm being too immature. I guess I'll just delete this thread.


Thread closed until I can find a mod to remove it.

The music thingie, erm... like how you manipulate the font, but i think you're lack of control. Your hand shakes when you outlined it.

2nd one. it's soo typical, it's all blank, it's so... "anyone-can-do-it"

3rd. it's so unorganized, so out of place.

ah ha ha. You really care if my outline is shaky? I made this for my friend. He doesn't care, I made it for him, so that's all that really matters.

1) let's see you do it then :] Yeah, it's easy, but don't criticize me. I'll bet yours is probably just as bad. Prove me wrong?

2) If you're going to criticize me, make it constructive or at least good. Otherwise you sound a tiny bit rude. [BTW, I'm allergic to criticism]

3) tease.gif throb.gif

@Alvin;; aw, thank you ^_^ I hope you like them. I'll make more? xD

I like the first one! I think you imitated that font pretty well. I do notice just a few jitters, but I still think it looks cool.

The second one looks okay. It looks a bit too monotone to me, but it isn't so bad. You could've added a lot more to it, too, and used a variety of fonts, instead of sticking to that cursive font.

I have to agree with Trancie on the third one. It lacks organization of the content. Also, (you may think I'm really picky on this one) the "Journey" text looks kinda hard to see, since it blends in with the brown. I think this one also lacks enough colors, but I'm sure you can make it a lot better if you added more.

thank you.

Hmm, you're right about the second one. I should try some new fonts.


the last one was for a very different site. It stood out more in comparison to the second overlay that is currently unavailable for viewing.

but thank you. I'll try to emphasize the font and color a bit more.

Im an artist, i can control my pen and ink. also, if you are "allergic to cirticism" then dont post it on showcase, people will criticize it no matter what. I wasnt being rude, if you want to see me being rude? here it is. Your designs look crappy, and plain and noobie. how bout that for ya? Lol. if there was anything that was good in the layout, i would've point it out. =)

and since you want to see how i can pen better?

its not as smooth as i was expecting, but with practice it will come to you. although the colors used are nice. As for the 2nd link, the picture looks awesome, just the links on the side takes A LOT away from the awesome photograph. Maybe if a title or your user name on the bottom with some brushes behind it will help, with the links under the picture, but where you have the links on the image now doesn't look great.
no idea on what to say for the 3rd link... the link position looks a tad weird. But I agree with Mark and Trancie on the 3rd image.

As for the criticism, if your "allergic" to it, then do not post anything here in the showcase. the whole point to it is for people to tell you what they think about it. even if most of it isn't what u like personally. no need to be childish about it, it makes you look more bad then it does them.

I agree with the two above, if you're allergic to criticism, don't post in the showcase because you know that you will get them regardless, whether they are harsh or not.

Anyway, as for the first photo, I agree with Trancie that the outline looks shaky. However, I think the calligraphy was done nicely.

For the second one, I agree with her too, 'cause I also think it's something that almost anybody can do. I'm not fond of the font either on the nav, seems too fancy for a B&W photo.

As for the last one, I think the design is pretty cool. I think it's a bit disorganized and I'm not feeling the borders around it. Some of the edges on the border is sticking out. I think the colour for "comments" look plain. ;x Like too one-coloured. It just feels naked to me.. lol.
