first impression

The site layout is extremely plain. It doesn't take more than five minutes to add a picture, a pink frame, one flower brush, the site name, and one single texture.

Oh wow. That's a lot of hits! 47509? Except she's cheating because they're not unique hits and every time you go to a new page of her site, the counter goes up one. This is false. Joy.

Her update looks annoying due to lack of capitalization! It's not that hard, come on now.

graphic

No talent is showcased here. It's just a cropped picture with a texture over it! Honestly, what can one even say about it? If this is the extent of her photo editing skills, then she definitely needs to work on those.

However, the picture is of high quality and her site name can be seen (though not in any particularly cool way or in a terribly cool font.)

coding

The coding is alright, no complaints, really. The colors match, though if there was some dark yellow or green (as shown in the graphic) it would make the CSS more interesting.

The header of the blog is awfully small.

I don't like how the sidebar headers go over the sidebar's background. It looks sloppy.

content

Contents on this site consists of default myspace layouts, icons, comment boxes, page grapihcs, lyric graphics, image maps, album covers, hiding codes, quote graphics, music player skins, contact buttons, fonts, edited pictures, site layouts - coming soon!, tutorials, site signs, drop down menus, backgrouds, blends - coming soon!, brushes - coming soon!, shop, fun games, requests, and reviews.

default myspace layouts;
Everything in the "style one" section is just the same layout with a different color. These are all very boring and show no talent or skill.

The same goes for "style two" layouts, but these have background images instead of solid colors.

Boring!

Along the top of the page it says...

all of these layouts were made my jeffalynn; please credit

They're layouts, not graphics. There is no way to credit her. They already have links on them.

icons;
I like how this is listed as "icons (popular!)" how... vain.

This is quite the collection she has going here. Most are boring, as they are just cropped picture s(what talent!). However, some actually have designs, and some of those look good. Some.

comment boxes;
Cute. Though the first ten are the same one with a different color. I love creativity like that!

page graphic;
Oh, dear god. Why are these here.

None of these are by me, just my collection :)

LOL. SHE HAS NO CREDIT UNDER THESE! I enjoy how she demans credit even for her icons, yet she cannot credit the owneres and makers of this "collection."

lyric graphics;
Oh no. Will this be another stolen collection!?

Nah. These are made by "jeffalynn" (apparently her name is not a proper noun, and therefore it is not capitalized on her site, so I suppose I will respect her lack of proper noun knowledge and leave her name uncapitalized, too.)

These are... for...?

...

Exactly.

image maps;
This is cute and useful. Too bad there is only one.

album covers;
Eh. I don't think people would really use these. Not to mention they're not very nice, either. The designs aren't that great and some of the color schemes (such as yellow and purple) are not attractive.

hiding codes;
Well, I cannot say much about these, for they are codes and not work of "jeffalyn."

On a side note! The scrollbar along the bottom gets annoying. It shouldn't be there. I even have a resolution of 1440 x 900! Click to view.

quote graphics;
These are of high quality, however, for what would they be used?

Adverbs, please.

music player skins;
These are nice and would probably be used.

contact buttons;
Cute, usable, not a waste of time.

fonts;
It's sort of stupid to offer fonts she hasn't made, but at least she says we should all credit DaFont for them (though she does not actually give us a link to DaFont.)

I like how the first one is from Abstract Fonts and not DaFont. Nice!

edited pictures;
Interesting... useful!

site layouts - coming soon!
Haha... there is no point in saying that! Just get them up.

tutorials;
Tutorials are for paint shop pro, html, itunes covers, and computer short cuts.

These are easy to follow and show screen shots along the way, really nice!

There's no point in saying some tutorials are coming soon.

site signs;
People can and will make their own! Waste.

drop down menus;
I don't know how often these would really get used.

backgrounds;
The same backgrounds... over and... over and over... in different colors.

blends - coming soon!
Haha... there is no point in saying that! Just get them up.

brushes - coming soon!
Haha... there is no point in saying that! Just get them up.

shop;
This is actually really, really cool. I like this a lot.

fun games;
Eh. This is not really... content.

requests;
Nice! It's nice that visitors can requests stuff.

reviews;
OH NO. She gives reviewees a grade out of one hundred. That's rude and degrading.

navigation

Navigating this site is easy. The links are along the top of the div, right below the image, and include: home, myspace, content, site info, and reviews.

The credits page (off of the site info page) leads to a page that has... a very small list of credits, and is titled "contact."

Crediting createblog, deviantart, and photobucket as sources is not appropriate, as it is not crediting the actual creators.

overall

This site still needs some work, but it's not all that bad. Graphic skills need to be improved, more creativity!

Some of the content, as mentioned in the content section, is useless and a waste of time. Focusing on useful content would be... marvelous.

Saying things are "coming soon" is pointless, just put them up on the site!

Fix that scroll bar along the bottom.

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.
