I don't understand why there are grid brushes in the background. What signifigance do they have in relation to the scene in front of them? They look very out of place.

At least the site name can be easily read, though now I'm confused by the site name. Is it Velvet-Charm or Velvet Charm? Hiphen or no hiphen?

The CSS could have been a little more interesting if different fonts had been used.

Nevermind. Vashael has been misleading. The visitor content includes AIM icons, backgrounds, banners, blank buttons, blends, blinkies, dividers, icons, layouts, scribbles, website signs, an abundance of "glitters", generators, reads, glitter fills, PSDS, textures, tutorials, myspace layouts, and caption graphics.

aim icons;
These just look like the icons you can make on one of those silly doll sites.

backgrounds;
Why does everything keep splitting off into a hundred supbages? I don't think anyone would use any of the heart backgrounds, they seem like they would take a visitor's attention away from the graphic. Same for "horror" which aren't scary at all. The checkered backgrounds are something that ANYONE with ANY type of photo program could make. Why does she have other as a section AND random? None of these are that nice. The striped backgrounds are really great though.

banners;
For what should these be used?

blank buttons;
PEOPLE CAN MAKE THEIR OWN BUTTONS AND I'M TIRED OF SAYING THIS IN MY REVIEWS. That note is for everyone, not just this site.

blends;
Previews? A lot of these are EXTREMELY bland and boring. I only opened about seven and one didn't even load; "this image or video has been moved or deleted." (It was the Beyonce blend, by the way.)

blinkies;
These are cute and well made, though I don't know where one would use them.

dividers;
"THIS IMAGE OR VIDEO HAS BEEN MOVED OR DELETED" is on this page eight times and that's all there is.

icons;
Low quality, cropped images.

layouts;
Only one is available; the graphic isn't that well made or interesting, but the CSS is okay.

scribbles;
Whyyyy are these on her site? What are they for? What would they be used for?

website signs;
People can make their own. The dolls are becoming creepy.

glitters;
Tacky, useless, and a waste of space.

generators;
It's a cool idea but who would really use this?

reads;
Why are reviews in here? They should have their own subpage right off of the main page. It's so degrading to give people a score. I don't like her apple system. It's stupid.

I'm not going to read the articles; I don't go to sites to read things, I go for actual content.

glitter fills;
Gah! What would anyone use these for? They would hurt their eyes!

PSDS;
Should be PSDs. These look nice, but I'm not going to download any just for this review.

textures;
Uhm. Interesting array of textures here.

tutorials;
The few I looked at seemed easy to follow. There are a lot of pictures along the way, though some typos, too.

myspace layouts;
It's sort of interesting how visitors can rate the layouts. These are actually pretty nice. The second one is a broken link though.

caption graphics;
I don't understand what these are for. Are they just to put on a myspace page?

The myspace section is visitor content, so is "graphics" and "resources" so it would make sense to lump those three into "content."

The reviews page SHOULD NOT be hidden in the reads section on the graphics page. Reads aren't even graphics! The review page should be its own thing.

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

I don't understand why the AIM icons are just like the icons you can make on any of those doll sites.

I think a lot of the backgrounds should be deleted. Except for the stripes. Those are really great!

Some of the content, which has been mentioned in the content section of the review, seems like a waste of time. Forgetting and deleting that kind of content will give her more time to work on her good/useful content.

Previews for the blends!

What's the deal with a bunch of the images being deleted? Come on now, that's very inconvenient for the visitors (and reviewers).

She should STOP using those dolls.

Move the reviews page link so that it's right off of the main page, right along the top with all the other links. It's really silly to have it in the "reads" section.

"Mines" is not the possesive form of mine. Mine is already possesive. (In regard to one of her tutorials.)

Fix that broken link in the myspace layouts.

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!"
