background information
site: Beautiful Chaos
owner: Allison
reviewed: August 21st, 2008screen shot
The code doesn't look as nice as the graphic, but oh well.
It looks like a few textures have been used to give a "smoky" look to the graphic, along with a few bat brushes, which have been used in moderation. Some more brushes to the right might have livened the graphic a little, it seems a tad dull, but maybe Allison was going for a more simple look.
The site name, Beautiful Chaos, is printed along the bottom, and is easy to read for anyone.
It would have been nice if the graphic had built in spaces for the code's dividers/tables. When graphics and codes meet together like that it usually seems like they were really made for each other.
The headers are a little boring, just white bold with a dark blue background.
For the divider/table backgrounds I would not have chosen that lighter shade of blue. It sort of goes agains the "dark" feeling of the graphic.
premade layouts;
Some of the layouts (such as The Academy Is, Hayley Williams, and Ryan Ross) have graphics that are better than some (such as Green Day and All Time Low),
some are probably older though, and Allison's photoshop/psp/whatever skills have improved since then.
For some, the graphics meet nicely with the coding and it all flows fairly well, but for some it's the complete opposite.
None of the codes really strike me as amazing.
brushes;
These aren't the greatest and you can't download them; only imagepacks are available. For the second brush set, I feel like I have seen the top left
brush before (top left in the imagepack), I remember thinking it could be an octopus.
reviews;
In her reviews she gives applicants a score our of fifty, which is degrading.
The one review looks cluttered.
I think it's unprofessional and biased that the reviewee got an extra point just because Allison was listed in her top affiliates.
The short films link takes you to a whole new site.
The art portfolio is hosted on Facebook.
There are no resources listed on this site. If Allison has used your resources, intead of being credited, you will get this...
I was going to put a credits page here, but I honestly forgot where I got pretty much all of my brushes. However, I know that I for sure got some from saruna.net, but I don't know if I acutally used them. xD
I think that's insensitive and disrespectful. It's not too hard to jot a website name down or add it to your favorites so you can link back to it later.
if you leave a comment... then refer to the name of the site. This review was for Beautiful Chaos
This cbox is for visitors to comment about the sites that have been reviewed. It is not for visitors' complaints, defending of friends, telling me how to review sites, or for juding my site. If you want to do one of those listed above, feel free to e-mail me at skylineillusions@yahoo.com which is the site e-mail that I check frequently; I don't feel as if there is a need for any one to e-mail me over these reviews, though. I check this cbox about once every two weeks, usually only if one of my friends says "Go look at that cbox!"
