background information
site: Your Final Demise
owner: Manda
reviewed: August 22nd, 2008screen shot
At first "Rainy Days" confused me until I looked at the top of my screen, above the URL, where it says Your Final Demise | Version Five: Rainy Days. Perhaps putting "version five" somehwere on the graphic, either above or below "Rainy Days" would clear up some of that confusion quicker.
No brushes. No textures. Nothing catches my eye.
The borders for the main divider and the sidebar look interesting, they fade in/out until they reach a solid color.
The main divider has too much teal. Teal was not a good choice for the background color. The black text is hard to see on it, too. Well, all right, I guess I can understand why italic text is blue, I guess she could say she found blue in the graphic. But what is the bold text purple? It looks bad and doesn't go well.
avatars;
Avatars are not a big deal. Manda doesn't need to date when she created it. Some of these are well made,
and look cool. They all seem to be high quality, which is great. There are a few random ones that just
don't look appealing (such as Kairi and Common Sense).
notepapers;
What are these for? Are they supposed to be stock for other layout makers? If so, then it looks bad that
they have a "Your Final Demise" stamp on them. People can credit Manda in their resources. I don't really
see anyone using these anyway.
signs;
People can make their own signs! These are a waste of space and time. Not to mention she spelled hiatus incorrectly.
wallpapers;
These just aren't well made. The images all look low resolution and it looks like no time was spent on them.
Along the top of one of the resource pages, she says "Image Shack has made the scans, fugly. It lowers the quality of the image T.T." First off: you don't need a comma before fugly. Second off: the word fugly is crude and distasteful. Third off: if you save your images as high quality ones, Image Shack does not distort them; Manda is wrong.
So, where are the resources Manda has used? Okay. There's a link to them off of the site page. Good.
Labeling her scans, transparent PNGS, and tutorials as "Resources" is misleading. By the way, the s in PNGs shouldn't be capitalized.
Fugly, as I have said, is crude and distasteful.
If Manda thinks Image Shack is disrupting her images, she's wrong and shouldn't bash Image Shack anyway.
