well i gotta say when the first page loaded i tought: "nice, could use some improvement, but nice"

when i went trough the links in navigation i didnt liked it at all, heres some tips

- i didnt liked the navigation, its too high positioned on the page, but it looks nice
- instead of a simple texta t the front page u should try and make a nice banner, i see you've got some members on the forum so make a competition and let someone make u a banned (the reward could be a link from your site to his blog or site or w/e)
- on the part "my graphics" was the firs very unpleasant suprise - tha background turned white, that u must repair
- i see u made a gallery of your works, and u made in a table, you could loose the borders, they stink!
- when u go to "my creative" theres no lik back to home page, i mean the main home page, you changed the background color again
- links: you changed the color again, i think you shoudl stick to one bg color per page, loose the border on the table, the dropdown menu just isnt for things like that, loose it
-blog: your blog looks nice, the banner could be better, you dont have a link back to the main page

i didnt wanted to be rude, just wanted to make ur site a better one

One word of advice (literally):Consistency.


Now to get more in depth.
The first page looks alright, really not much going on there...which is alright, because you make up for the lack of content on that page with an image.
From there I looked at the navigation, which I thought was fairly suiting.
But then I go to the graphics link and was blinded by the white. Then all of your work was inside of a very ugly table!
Honestly, everyone (who has used them and understands them) will recommend you to switch over to using Divs w/CSS!
The forum colors matched (somewhat) but i'd recommend you make the forum match a little better.
From there, most of the rest of the links looked like a rip-off of one of those crappy blog site layouts. (plain, ugly, and nothing happening!) Not trying to be mean.

Basically I'm saying:
Make a template, and use it throughout the site. If you use CSS for the layout, then you can easily make it look however you want. (so it doesn't have to be a typical looking website) But keeping the same look throughout your site is important in most cases.
Integrating your forum directly into your website is a really great thing as well, and can easily be figured out! (probably even some tutorials on it)

It's not completely horrible, but it's not really that great right now either. Keep it up.

I like how the front page look although it can use some improving but as the image looks cute it has some potential. What tgs said actually is what the site really need: consistency. but the frontpage can give you an idea of what the site should look.
