first impression

The skills and knowledge of web design displayed on this site are very minimal and simple.

I'm annoyed by the auto-starting music. I was listening to my own music, but thanks for trying to shove your music down my ears.

graphic

The graphic is slightly blurry and is just slapped up on a black background site. It looks horrible like that; the background color should go with the image, preferably well.

An outline of a person is all that's been done really, along with two or so brushes. It's really not well made or original. I'm impressed that Ali even knows how to image map, honestly.

coding

I guess the colors sort of match the graphic... sort of. The red looks a little too dark and a little too red to match that lighter red/orange in the graphic. Same goes for the yellow, possibly.

Everything can be read though.

content

Content includes brushes, fonts, scans, scripts, stocks, banners, bullets, color palettes, guild layouts, icons, icon textures, and textures.

brushes;
These are not that nice, and you can't even download them; image packs only.

fonts;
Finally! Someone offers fonts that they made! The first one is nicer than the second. There's a broken image between the two.

Impressive though.

scans;
Previews, please? Come on now.

scripts;
An explanation of what these are would be so nice.

stocks;
These take way too long to load. The previews need to be a lot smaller (byte wise.)

I can't honestly see anyone using these.

banners;
The hiatus signs are so juvenile. I don't think people really use welcome banners, they should be making them by themself.

The blank ones, which could be used, are a little plain/boring.

bullets;
Coming soon.

Great, I'm so thrilled that she's taken the time to put the page up, but can't actually make the content. Where's the point in that?

color palettes;
Why is the background dark blue all the sudden? It's black for all of the other pages. click here to view.

The color palettes are nice though; there's not much one can say about color palettes.

guild layouts;
I have no clue what a "guild" is or how one can use a "guild layout" on it. Another little explanation blurb would be nice.

These aren't high quality or intricate or impressive.

icons;
The last one in the first row isn't 100 x 100, it's 101 x 100.

These aren't bad, they're just nothing to marvel over.

icon textures;
These are very, very bland and simple.

textures; Hmm... these look interesting. Do people use them?

navigation

I really dislike the navigation on this site. The poorly made graphic has an image map on it of you, me, site, learn, and plug, (along with some affiliates links and more/apply, and a refresh.) In addition to that, along the top there's also a navigation section that has you, me, learn, plugboard, site, and clear.

Also, I don't like how the navigation, stats, click, and music are horizontal and have their sections cascading downwards: it's a little confusing and looks bad.

A list of credits can be found off of the site page.

overall

This site isn't that nice and I wouldn't return until it's been fixed up. The site layout should be more impressive, it's a graphic/resource site, afterall.

I would suggest making more interesting and complex content, keep practicing with whatever program she uses. Download more brushes, read tutorials, and so on.
