your final demise

background information

site: Your Final Demise
owner: Manda
reviewed: September 20th, 2008

screen shot


click to enlarge, opens in a new window.

first impression

Pretty plain, but orderly.

I like the gradient background a lot that fades from grey to dark purplish red.

graphic

The graphic is extremely bland. Serious editing did not happen here. I think Manda just put some grunge textures or brushes on the pictures, outlined it in white, and put "http://yourfinaldemise.webs.com" along the top in a small, small font.

I still dig the gradient though.

I don't, however, like how the main part of the graphic has this white outline that seperates it from the divider.

coding

The coding looks pretty nice! The main text isn't boring or hard to read. The sidebar links are hard to see though, and they don't look nice with their background color. They also look a little bad aligned to the left.

The normal links (not in the sidebar) look funny when you hover over them because of the bluish purple background. I understand that blue is in the graphic, but everythign else in the code leans towards red.

content

Visitor content includes avatars, avatar bases, and blends. This isn't a lot, but maybe they're phenomenal!

avatars;
These are really nice! The pictures are of high quality, they've been edited with brushes, light stocks, and other stock images and textures. These are really well made, and they aren't cluttered with text around them.

avatar bases;
Eh, I don't know about these. They're just cropped pictures. People can crop their own pictures. blends;
There's only one. It's well blended, but plain and lacks cool effects, brushes, textures, etcetera.

navigation

Sidebar links include blog/updates, music, visitor, link in/out, c-box, staff, and site.

Link in/out is for affiliating and link exchanges.

Staff is a little misleading, because there is only one person: Manda.

Yey! A nice list of credits.

overall

Overall, the site is orderly and nice, but the content could be taken up a notch. The avatars are wonderful, so Manda should definitely continue with those. The bases aren't that great. The blend was well blended, but plain. I would suggest some more site content, but she shouldn't rush doing that.

In the future I think she should make sure her sidebar links can be easily read.

I would also suggest that she not seperate the main part of her graphic with a thick, white border. It makes it seem like it's something totally different and unattached.

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 Your Final Demise

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!"
