Well, I'm not so good at making web layouts just yet but I'm testing my luck to see what I can make. I'm working on another as we speak, just figuring out where everything is going.

This is my first layout in picture form lol:



At the moment, Colin is coding it for Glitches Exposed because quite frankly, I suck at coding more than I suck at designing templates lmao. All feedback is welcome but I'd appreciate constructive criticism, not "YOU SUCK ASS LOSER!" criticism, thanks. Remember, this is my first attempt. I doubt any of the best graphic designers were good at what they do the first time round.

Looks better than what I can currently do

Thats what i was going to say but actually its pretty good. its got a clean look and i actually like it. However it is very simple and basic but thats not always a bad thing. its definatley good for a first try

Personally, I prefer simple layouts. I don't like layouts which are cluttered up as they're too hard and annoying to navigate. If it works, don't change it.

Not half bad, I like the color scheme chosen, very nice, i can tell its not done, but hey, nexus read up some tutorials and u sure can make that layout look spiffy

It's "done" to an extent but there is still some things I want to add. And actually, most of the styles used on that were from tutorials. I'm trying to get out of the "tutorial-phase" as I really wanna make my own.

I wanna get good at it and other graphic design techniques before I go into Polytechnic next year. I plan on doing some courses in Interactive Media Development which include graphic design, web design, audio design, game design and film design - all are things I would love to learn.

how kool, when I graduate highschool i want to go to the art institute of San Francisco :-D

Edited it. I still think it's missing something though... but then, I feel like that with everything I create in Photoshop LOL.

I really like this, I can't really complain about much, but the one this I would do is brighten up that subtext just a TAD. I had to take a second or three glances at it to make sure what it said.
And I _personally_ don't like the line circling the menu, but thats just personal opinion. I would leave it open, but your way is a little different, and if you changed it to my way, well then your menu would look like half the other ones out there!

I really think you could even code this for WordPress too!

I probably could, but I'm not coding it, ya see lol. Colin is, as I can't code for shit.

I might have an idea of what is missing (in my opinion ofcourse). Borders.. If you'd add some stylish (not too stylish) borders wich expand with the website itself, I'd say it looks completely finished, especially when centered in the browser.

Very nice layout though!
