I can’t say I am fond of the layout. I would suspect that it is a result of the position of the layout image. For whatever reasons, the 90 degree rotation just doesn’t look right. The image is lacking a border, and it doesn’t bother with feathering into the content background. I like the background pattern, and the color scheme, but the overall layout gives me a feeling of being “dislocated”. It doesn’t look like much effort was put into the making process.

I like the layout (version 8.1). The colours are brilliant yet subtle. The style is simple and easy to navigate. Yet there are two things that stood out to me that didn’t work too well. First, the black and white horizontal brushes above the boys. I understand that it is used as a separator but to be honest, it isn’t working for me. All the space above the separator isn’t put to a lot of use. As a matter of fact, you seem to have a problem with making use of space, in general.

I am not too fond of the splash page for a number of reasons. The website logo is not linked. The style of the font type makes the site subtitle look more like ‘Tbaditional Abtfolio’. The ‘Enter’ text is barely visible as it is squished on top of the site meter button. There are too many links on this page that is not necessary. It looks so unprofessional and much too similar to the work of a newbie (and I was there at one point in time). Despite the beautiful sketch, the rest of the page is a put off.

The layout feels inviting and summer-y. However, there are two things that stood out for me that made the layout less comforting. The first is the background. Although the colours coordinate quite well with the overall layout colour scheme, it doesn’t coordinate with the layout image. The background pattern contrasts too much with Hilary Duff where Duff is suppose to represent youth and femininity, the background pattern screams old age and blandness.
