first impression

What a cute layout! It's small but not annoyingly tiny.

The line along the top of the page (above the URL), known as the title, says: dEq yU lyk mi sidEw4y$ p0nyta!l@#... which is annoying looking and I don't see how it's related to Ricardo, the site, or the layout.

Excuse the dollar sign, I can't replicate the symbol that's up there.

graphic

The graphic is semi-adorable, really. I think the original image could have been cut a little closer; the peach outline is a little thick.

I like the color scheme though, they're vibrant but not blinding.

Brushes have been used, but since the graphic is so small, an excessive amount have not been abused.

coding

The coding goes well with the graphic, the colors match very nicely. All text is readable! The only boring thing is that multiple fonts aren't used, but it is a more simple layout.
content

Content includes textures and brushes.

There are three rules on the content page.

1.) don't like redistribute please.
2.) Credit if you want, I reallydon't care.
3.) Enjoy this crap!

A period or parentheses, not both. The "like" in the first rule is just completely useless. Unless, of course, it has been put there in mockery of how some people talk?

Why wouldn't an owner want credit!?

It's hard to enjoy something that the owner has labeled as "crap"...

textures;
I dig the textures, they're high quality and definitely worth the time to check out.

brushes;
Downloads are really appreciated by visitors instead of only image packs. The sunburst one isn't that great, it's only one brush. The cloud set only consists of two brushes, but they're attractive and original.

navigation

The navigation seems a little strange. Three links. *read, ?x-it, and {stuff. *Read takes you to the blog. ?x-it is loved/admired sites (affiliates? inspiration?). {stuff is the site content.

I don't see any resources... and though it is possible that all of the site content has been made without resources, the site layout has an original image in it which has most likely been borrowed. Credits are needed!

overall

The site is really cute. The graphic and css go nicely together, are eye pleasing, and aren't over the top.

I would suggest adding more to the site content and rethinking the site rules. Credits are really... a must.

comments

note: the cbox below is the same one on all review pages.

if you leave a comment... then refer to the name of the site. This review was for Sky

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!"
