background information

site: Zellow Productions
owner: Christina
reviewed: August 16th, 2008

screen shot


click to enlarge, opens in a new window.

first impression

Way too bright; too much yellow, and the white background for the div is harsh on the eyes.

Christina obviously has a photo editor, I can tell from the site graphic. She knows how to use brushes, but this graphic is way too cluttered with them.

The code looks boring.

graphic

Pink and yellow is not a color scheme. This would look a lot better without the mess of too many brushes used, it's extremely cluttered. The font, violation, is used by everyone and isn't original.

The original images were cut out nicely, though.

coding

Utterly boring. She could have at least used some yellow. All I see is black and pink. Very boring fonts are used and nothing catches my eye.

Even the headers are a little lame, pink text with a plain pink border. The same headers are used on the main div and the sidebar, which makes it seem even more boring.

Boring is a common word today, hmm?

content

Available content includes advanced pictures, aim profiles, avatairs & icons, backgrounds for icons, blends, blend background, button bases, photography, textures, silhouettes, wallpapers, myspace codes, myspace layouts, brushes, html help, special characters, and one advanced picture tutorial.

That's a lot of content.

Advanced Picturues;
There is absolutely no point of these. "Don't steal. These are just for SHOW." is along the top, which means visitor cannot use them, which means they are not visitor content, end of story.

AIM profiles;
It's not Aim, it's AIM. I don't really see the point of these. Are there really people so obsessed with AIM, that have no lives, that would search for tehse and use them? They're not too nice, pretty boring.

avatars & icons;
Some of the AIM icons are really nice! None of them are the type I would use, but others definitely would.I eraced everything so now I have better avatars!!! Okay, well... eraced should be erased.

The larger ones (the avatars) just have filters on them, a few have a brush or a texture, or a weird glowing orb. Not much time was put into making these. Maybe eracing (erasing) these would be a good idea.

backgrounds for icons;
Aligning all of your rules to the left would make them look more orderly. Christina... if you're on the internet 24/7, it's nothing to brag about; you should be a lot better at all of this, at least.

Anyone making icons could make these; they're not special or hard.

blends;
Where are people supposed to use these? You can't make a decent looking layout with them, the graphic to content area wouldn't flow at all.

These aren't pretty.

blend backgrounds;
Once again, anyone making blends could make these. They're a waste of time.

button bases;
I repeat, I repeat: anyone making buttons can make their own bases. These are a waste of time.

photography;
Christina has edited all of these, so they're actually "graphics" now. What would anyone use these for? Stock photography would be nice. Personal photography would be nice. This is a waste of time.

textures;
These are okay if one is in desperate need of textures. They're not that big, though.

silhouettes;
...these are a waste of time, anyone can make these.

wallpapers;
What sizes are these? Christina doesn't say. They're okay, better than a lot of the other content. One has sent me to a 404 page error.

Who is Kaytay? When Christina applied for a review, there was no "Kaytay" in the names section.

myspace codes;
Where does one put these codes?

myspace layouts;
Plain but colorful. There's not much she can really do since these aren't div layouts.

brushes;
These are all very simple.

html help;
Easy to understand, good.

special characters;
I bet these are helpful for some people, actually.

picture tutorials;
The first one isn't even a tutorial, it just tells you how to save something to make it look better.

The second one is okay but more or less pointless and just playing around in a photo editor.

navigation

The site is easy to navigate. I don't know why the image map AND the sidebar both have the exact same links.

Subpages include home, content, site, webmiss, comments, and an affiliate applicaton.

Yay, resources are listed.

overall

Zellow Productions needs to be spruced up. A lot of the content is just pointless and time wasting. Take out a lot of the content, focus on things that visitors would actually use and make them a lot better.
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 Zellow Productions

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!"


When inappropriate comments are found (though it will probably be soon after they've been posted) they will be deleted.
