I don't know what I choose
ONE: http://img49.imagesh...ntitled11gu.jpg
or TWO: http://img130.images...ntitled27bh.jpg

I'm still out of ideas, those layouts I made are very boring, I tryed to make a 2.0 using a pepar sheet as layout, but I don't think it looks good... :love:

I :love: the first one, if i was you i would use it, i guess i because it doesnt use that diagonal line patter as much because it doesn't fit. gl :)

+ i am making a gallery webiste soon were people can show off there creations, if you want you can have a few of your watermarked creations put up in the gallery with a linkback to your site.

Layout number two feels less restricted and more 'open' to look at, although you might want to reconsider making the space towards the bottom more useful. Perhaps code them both and have them available to the viewer, like a 'style switcher' that offers layout one and layout two to suit their purpose. With that said, I would chose layout two.

I really like the first one. Its very nicley put together and ive always loved the glossy layouts over the more simple ones. Also i feel like you overused the scan lines on the second one.

The first one seems more organised and easier to look at for me, although both are nice and using either of them would be great, I find that the first one has a better feel and look.

Btw I love your logo :love:, it looks pretty damn nifty to me :)

I prefer number two, I don't really like the footer with the scan lines like that, but the overall look of it is nicer.

2nd, but i'm not a fan of any of your layouts.

I think you need to move away from scan lines, and near primary colours.

You also wont find a "2.0" (i hate that term) layout anywhere near like your current designs. "2.0" is also not all about look, its about the coding. (which ure current site has issues with lol)

Keep working is my advice :) Move into CSS and away from ps.

Layout #1. I think the use of images from the links other then the diagonal boxes looks good.. I do think it is a tad plain even though.. It is also very workable.. ..

I don't like the term too. hehe

the problem is: I don't know what to put in their place
it's the first thing that pops up in my mind is that, so my layout won't be that plain

Very nice tutorial. But the pencile. It needs to look more 3D. Try adding a small Bevel effect maybe?

The scan lines kick ass. The first one is the best. A good organised stucture that looks easy to update and code.

I like both of them, but for me personally the second one is the better of the two, just seems to fit together and work better for me.

They are okay, but they are exactly every other layout you have had. Create completely different mock-ups from completely different ideas.

Both of the layouts you have there are not only plain and simple and lacking of color, the lines that are scattered apon it look outright crappy on higher resolutions and different screens.

i agree with what zippy said about all your layouts.

but regardless, the 2nd and 3rd are without a doubt the better.

Layout #2 looks somewhat sloppy compared to the nicely organized Layout #1.

#1 all the way....nice design BTW
