background information
site: Handstand
owner: Phoebe
reviewed: October 20th, 2008screen shot
The ripped paper stock in the background looks great, though it may be hard to see against the white backgrounds.
The CSS is simple, too. I don't like how the same headers are used in the main div and sidebar. A line break tab at the top of each divider would fix the cut off problem for the headres.
It's just very plain... there's not much else to say.
brushes;
These are nice for hand drawn brushes. It would be nice if more brushes were in each set, typically
there are only four in these sets.
Are these for Photoshop? Are image packs available? How do we download them? There are no obvious links or explanations. (By the way: you click on them to download them, and they are only .abr brushes, no imagepacks are available.)
scans;
These scans are nice and have little previews. Well done.
light textures;
These are nice, though the "night" ones aren't very sharp.
The window ones are trippy!
So are the computer ones.
icon textures;
It would be so much more helpful if these were just full size textures that people could use
on anything! Instead, they are only icon textures, which is stupid, because they're just cropped
textures.
fonts;
Did Phoebe make this font?
stock;
These are textures.
layouts;
Only one is available. It's plain and simple, just like her site layout. It's basically black and white and boring.
tutorials;
These are nice photo tutorials, however, screen shots and showing visitors how the photo
looks along the way would be so much more helpful than just text.
Under the exit page there's a credits section, in which she has credited ten websites. It seems short but her site's not that big, I guess.
Affiliates are listed here, too, along with linkback buttons.
Site is site info and info about her.
More brushes per set! Downloads? Imagepacks? Come on now...
Nix the icon textures. Just offer textures!
Her stock images are textures.
More interesting graphics and CSS for the layouts... just more enthusiasm in general.
She would do well do add screen shots and image views along the way in her tutorials.
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!"
