Is that a fictional planet or something in the background? The outlines of the continents don't look like Earth.

I like it overall Not sure about the huge FB, EM, PR things though, they look a bit out of place, but otherwise I like it

Ah. I watched part of Avatar, but I didn't notice those squares. I would have watched the rest if my parents' DVD player didn't totally suck.

You should use brighter colors and large flashing GIFs. It'll get you a lot of fans. Your layout is your e-clothing and determines exactly how people will read you. Have you seen how popular I am? Ladies love me.


A few comments, and remember that I draw these based off of personal preference of layouts that I see and find ideal:

- Your text expands too far horizontally. To read your posts one has to move his/her eyes so much to read your post. Obviously, this varies by people's monitor and resolution, so there isn't much you can do about that. You could consider adding a bit of padding to the interior

- I think you need a little bit more spacing in the box. Your text brushes up against the borders which is uglyuglyugly! It's the lessser known, unsuccessful sequel to The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. You don't want to be associated with that movie.

- I don't think the vertical bar with your contact information is very... useful or pretty. I understand that it gives you a bit more colors to break up the monotony of your layout, but they just seem very dissonant.

- Speaking of useless bars, what's with the one up top? If your layout box was attached to it it'd probably look neat, but it just stands alone, mysteriously.

- I like the way the background floats. Aesthetically, it's a GENIUS idea, especially considering what your background is.

Edit: Heh, you touched on my second point while I was typing the post. I still think it's not quiiiiite enough, though.

Eh, no. I'll leave it at that.

You're obviously just jealous. :smug:

Increased to 7 padding instead of just 5.

---

That's a lot better than what I remember seeing, so, ownin... though I still think the inner box would look better with a wider margin. Ideally, IMO, your text will line up around the planet's equator. It'd flow better that way!

---

You'll understand it more once I can show my design source.

---

(MRJ EDIT: I snipped a sentence because I misread you and responded to the misunderstanding. The sentence after this one still stands!) It doesn't look very good to me.

---

It'll probably look funky because I was lazy with the coding.

---

We're like sisters!

For this I have to give credit to Metal_Man88. He was the first one to use a large fixed background and the concept fit great with the subject matter.

---

Well sure it's not an original idea, but it's definitely the first time I've seen it used well. That is the key difference. No offense to Mr. Metal_Man88 but yours is probably better. I base this on having never seen what he did.
