Alright, so I got bored and decided to make myself a new cB layout. I call this one Watercolour.
 I'm not really sure on what else to add but I think it looks alright. I just want some c&c on it since it kind of looks plain to me. I'm also thinking of changing that background color to a lighter peach. What do y'all think?Thanks.

I love the way you did your username and the area around it, but I'm having issues with the font you used for everything else. It clashes with the bright, summery feel of everything else. Also, I don't really get what that rainbow blob is above the about me. It's just kinda there.

^The blob is supposed to be bird.
 Should I use the curly font for the headers or what? |

QUOTE(theerinkal @ Jun 7 2009, 02:48 PM) I understood that it was a bird. Me too. I like it, but the bird is in a strange location, in my opinion. It sort of throws the page off balance. It puts too much weight on the right side. |

I dont really like, the bg color or the header size or fonts. I like the section with the username and stuff.
If you are going for that kind of style you should make the background like a canvas. |

I dk why but I actually like the font you used for your headers but I don't really like the font you used for your username. Other than there, it's really nice. I saw the bird right away. Nicely done, Mike.

I think you should make this into a blog layout or something. Keep the header and lose everything else. As for the bird, it was kind of hard to tell since there's too much color going on. I think taking out some colors would be good.

 i like boobies, yes I do. I like boobies - how 'bout you? Group: Member Posts: 620 Joined: Jun 2008 Member No: 662,457 |
I think it... doesn't look like watercolour. As an artist who frequently works with REAL watercolour, it just looks more like watered down acrylic splattered about for no reason.
It's a good idea, but there's inconsistencies in the "paint" and flow. =\ |
