Username and title: %%diary-lb-designs%% - ::Letterbomb-Designs {Version 4.0 My bloody Valentine}::- when I first saw the ‘lb‘ in the name, I thought of it as the pound abbreviation. Like 5lb of sugar. Letter bomb is cool too though. I don‘t like these titles, as they are long and complicated. (7/10)
First Impression: Literally from the first page, I get the impression these templates are going to be very gothic. (5/10)
Layout: Well the layout you are using is very clear and concise. There aren't links and shout boxes all over the show like some sites are. A design sites layout says a lot about their design skills. You could have been a little more adventurous with your font. There are so many cool ones, try and experiment. Due to the amount of space on the page, the text size could also be increased. (25/30)
Content: Search engine is a nice idea, although it doesn‘t really work here as you are very limited on what you have to offer. I can see straight away that there is nothing here I would choose for myself. I dislike band templates or famous people templates, but some of yours are just old. Gorillaz? They are so 3 years ago. There is no sign of originality, I have seen it all before. Maybe not the same templates, but the same ideas. You have also spelt Garfunkel wrong, and have several other typing errors throughout. (20/60)
Creativity: The only points I can give are for the few templates in the miscellaneous section, like the ‘don‘t rain on my parade‘ template. You basically need to find yourself some inspiration. Maybe browse the web a bit deeper. Try some things that you maybe wouldn‘t do for yourself. Try some thought provoking quotes or themes. Look at diaries who aren‘t American (that is assuming you are American or Canadian), like English diaries. They would find it hard to find anything here, as most of the bands you have featured are unheard of there. You need to look at the big picture. (5/20)
Lasting Impression: Not my cup of tea, but it doesn‘t mean you don‘t have any talent. I really rate people who can design, and it s a great hobby. (9/10)
Would I recommend? I would if I thought the person would find something fitting. I wouldn‘t recommend to many people I know personally though. (5/10)
Do you have the Dudette factor? (Ungraded) No. But that is something that can be gained with experience and a larger portfolio.
