I would like opinions about my layout. {keep in mind the add and news spaces are empty because I can't find good stock photos}. But this is my first attempt at making a layout.

Not bad, it's not really my style but looks pretty good for what you're going for. This would be a coding nightmare though and the load time would be huge.

To much bevel or whatever it is in my opinion and i don't think the background blends that well. I like the header though thats good

I dislike it all.

Too much inner/drop shadow.

Horrible background.

The news content shouldn't be centered how you have it.

Can't read the Forum posts cause the white text doesn't standout very well.

Navigation bar bg looks ugly and you had use a horrible font for the links.

Among over things.

I only like the title. That's all.

He covered it all

i like the grunge effect on the header and the background. I like the Logo also though the text is hard to read... but i know you want to accomplish the graffiti effect on the logo.

Looks good, but from a Marketing aspect of things, I dont think it will convert well, it's very dark, and text is very hard to read.

I think you should lean towards more of a web 2.0 color, clear,clean design... art work looks great though

now this is a great design! nice job!

you keep taking that medication
