first impression

Wow. There is no serious graphic design here.

graphic

What is this? What does it feature? What is it supposed to represent? Really now, it's not a good design for a site layout. It's plain, too.

Learning how to use tools is sorta a nice thing.

coding

The CSS is decent. Readable... but boring.

Different fonts, colors, and headers could have been used.

content

Visitor content is split up between graphics by Virginia, graphics by Juniper, resources by Virginia, resources by Juniper, tutorials bu Virginia, and tutorials by Juniper.

How incredibly annoying. Lump the graphics together, same for resources and tutorials. This is not second grade where everyone wants to keep their stuff seperated from everyone else's.

virginia's graphics;
These are really boring. Cropped pictures with text. I think I saw one brush used. Really bland. Too boring. Mix things up and make it cool!

juniper's graphics;
Juniper's icons and banners are a little plain, but not nearly as plain as Virginia's. Some of these are actually edited.

Little previews for site layouts are necessary now. Everyone has previews. These layouts are really bland, they lack creative graphics and have dull style sheets.

I can't say much about the guilt layouts, due to the fact that there is no full preview.

I don't know what a look up is. And I can't drag the image into my address bar. I use Internet Explorer 7.0.

Why would anyone make scribbles? What would they be used for?

resources by virginia;
Button bases are stupid. It's also stupid that this page has no button bases on it, only a request link and a "you must credit" sentence along with "cCount: 0!"

resources by Juniper;
Button bases are still stupid. Believe it or not. I'm not sure why so many PSDs of animals are offered. Who would seriously use them? The stock images don't seem usable.

tutorials by Virginia;
"None yet! D:"

...okay, wow. If there aren't any yet, don't put up a section for it!

tutorials by Juniper;
Installing a font really does not need a tutorial.

The image tutorials are really, really simple.

navigation

The navigation links include home, sitely, visitor, animals, extras, and plugboard.

Sitely is not a word.

However, a nice list of organized resources can be found off of the "sitely" page.

overall

Essence of Complexion needs a lot of work. The design knowledge is very minimal and doesn't allow Virginia or Juniper to make nice, high quality, appealing graphics.

Preview images are needed for layout, and full previews are needed for guild layouts and look ups.

I have no clue as to why anyone would make scribbles.

Argh! Don't have a section for the tutorials that don't exist yet! The other tutorial section offers very easy tutorials that are really too simple.
