first impression

Cute graphic, I guess, though it doesn't look all that impressive.

Why does the site name... have a typo? Heros should be heroes.

I really just don't like anime, so I have no clue who/what is in the graphic.

graphic

The colors go together nicely, nothing looks pixalated, it's a very "cutesy" graphic.

The site name and version can be easily read, too.

I don't understand why there are green and blue easter eggs; I guess they match the two little munchkins in the graphic, but those don't really go well with the graphic, since the graphic is pink.

coding

The CSS is really boring. Pink, pink, and more pink. There's not much to say, really... pink.

Everything can be easily read, nothing catches your eye, though.

Pink.

content

Onto the exciting part! Site content includes avatars, buttons, enter signs, hiatus signs, welcome signs, banners, closed signs, error signs, layouts, and requests.

avatars;
Wow! A lot of avatars are available on this site, and they've been split into subcategories, too.

A lot of these seem to be over edited and crammed with brushes, textures, and text. Avatars aren't that big to begin with, and cramming too much stuff into them doesn't look that nice.

It's a pretty impressive amount though.

buttons;
There are only two, the first one looks too blurry, and people can and will make their own... these are sort of pointless.

enter signs;
These are okay, but aren't of high quality, and are a waste of space and time, because I doubt anyone uses these: people should make their own.

hiatus signs;
People should (and do) make their own.

welcome signs;
These are very cluttered in the background. Yet again: people should (and do) make their own!

banners;
These are pretty nice. The images don't seem to be blurry or pixalated. Colors are nice, and the blending has been done well.

closed signs;
If someone is closing their site, why would they take the time to look for a closed sign? They should make their own... or just use text.

error signs; layouts;
All of the layouts (four) have the same cluttered look to them that all the other graphics on this site have.

The Mermaid Princess graphic doesn't load.

The Romeo & Juliet graphic doesn't match up with the div on the right, and looks sloppy.

The Amulet Space graphic doesn't match up with the divs, either.

The CSS of every layout is boring. One color.

navigation

The site is really easy to navigate. All links are listed on the sidebar. Home, credits, FAQ, history, links out, staff, apply?, extra, gifts, link us, past layouts, tagboard, about us, our blog, contact us, pictures, contests joined, contest, past contests, contestants... and a link to every page of content.

A nice list of resources can be found on the credits page.

overall

I'm not very impressed with the obvious error in this site's name or the graphics that the site offers.

All of the graphics look way too cluttered, and it seems that the same few brushes/techniques can be found in every single graphic.

A lot of images are blurry, too.

The layouts' CSS should be more appealing instead of one color all the way through.

comments

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!"
