background information
site: Zealous
owners: Kissliin
reviewed: September 22nd, 2008screen shot
All of the text is in really common fonts.
The graphic randomly cuts off against the background color, which looks bad.
Very low enthusiasm.
It looks like everything is in the same font except for the headers and sidebar links, which are still very plain.
blends;
Some of these are pretty cute. However, some aren't even blended! They're just overlapping pictures!
banners;
Outrageously dull.
miniblends;
These are actually blended and have some other effects which make some of them look nice.
icons;
Cropped pictures with minimal editing.
buttons;
Are these "button bases"...? People can make their own.
png's;
No apostrophe needed. These may be nice, I don't know, I'm not downloading them to look. But, they are downloadable, so
I would assume she's spent time on them.
fonts;
If she didn't make them, she shouldn't offer them. She doesn't even link us to where they're originally from!
brushes;
Who the heck is Louise? There was no Louise on the form that Kissliin sent in. These are plain, text brushes of lyrics.
layouts;
(Coded and uncoded.) All of the "Zealous" stamps on every single piece of content is really getting annoying. It's one thing to put a little
stamp on a graphic, but to cover 1/3 of a preview image is ridiculous.
These graphics are choppily cut out, sometimes blended well, but are, overall, boring.
The coding seems to waver though, sometimes it looks fairly presentable.
icon templates;
Very pixalated. Why would anyone use these?
icon textures;
It would make more sense to offer textures, which people could use in graphics of any size, and simply crop for icons.
wallpapers;
What dimensions? Those aren't download links, they're just links to the full view. The second onis blended pretty nicely, but has a lot
of dead grey to the left, and an unsightly light grey cut off line.
Credits, anyone? Spectacular. right on the domain page.
Why does the welcome section say the site is owned by Kissliin, Louise, and Bboy, when the only person on the form (that Kissliin) sent in, was Kissliin?
I would suggest working on their "texture making techniques" and make larger textures that may be used for anything. Delete the miniblends, unless there's a real significant use of themm. The fonts aren't even theirs and they don't linkback to the site they took them from. The icon templates are just, in general, a bad idea.
It seems that, based on the layouts, improvements have been made.

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!"
