Neverside

I love it man! I think the areas for txt should be a little bit bigger though. As for the style I give it a 10 cause I love that street look.

Ehh, I think you should make the layout blend in more with the BG, for example: make the text area the same color as the bg and you could also make the starts become less and less "populated" toward the end so it doesn't really "fade" but it gives that kind of impression.

Other then the blending problem I think it's a nice piece of work, it's a style I?ve seen around quite a bit more, not my taste but still nice never the less.

PS: your current layout could be way better then this one if you changed your nav and most importantly your nav text and used a banner similar to the one you have but make it blend better. And the ad you have on the side fits that layout very well and looks damn nice.

I think the new one is better, but the header and logo, don't fit well with the rest of the site. the style seems a bit different on them.

also, pause play and stop?

otherwise i like it.

Thanks again for all of the critque, as for the banner and lettering fitting in with the rest of the site:

See, the whole main purpose of this layout is to show off my new (well not really new, more new to expressing it) found love for sketching / doing legal art battles of graffiti. I drew 95% of that layout by hand. The city in the background is like the playground for us artists, and the 'insanitycorp' is actually my style of writing. The little guy spray painting 'shout' above the shoutbox are is there to further prove / stylize my point. The header with the little bubbles would be considered an area beneath a tag.

Sorry for that long *** explaination =P, but I wanted to give out the feel, ya know?

Now, updated: I tried to blend the black but it didnt work so I left the corners, but I blended the boxes more.

damn I've been coming back every once and a while to check this out and give it a good hard look. the updated one doesn't look as good as the first. I used to be into graffiti a while back so maybe I could help you out here.

1. the font you used for the links/shout/welcome/news/copyright is really played out and looks nothing like real graffiti, try something from here http://graffitifonts.net/

2. the logo itself screams "newb" no offense it's just that one thing you should try to do is just be more "liquid" with your letters. what I mean is you don't have a good flow YET! maybe retry it a few times and get some practice in. my letters looked like that in the begining as well.

3. IMO the dark grey and the light grey on the layout don't really go well.

4. maybe just try to re-arrange the layout a little, like line up the drips of the shout guys with the drips of the skyline or something along those lines.

I think with a bit more work this could be a great layout bro!

ps: i like the way you got rid of the light grey on the second one but I just don't like how you connected the shout guys with the city.
