Sorry, but I really have to disagree.

For starters, the navigation bar is littered with big, bulky and IMO ugly text. Pixels fonts set to overlay with a 1px black or white stroke work really well there, give it a shot :).

The header graphic is alright, but the halo text's bevel and emboss isn't set quite right. Instead of setting the shadow to black, try and modify it to a darker yellow or even a grayish colour. Also try and add more content to the back of it, its just blank at the moment.

Give those things a try, it should improve the quality of the template quite a bit.

Stop scaring all the newbies off. It's better than my first template :wink2: and is probably good enough to be sold on WebhostingTalk.com for $15 once its done. Keep up the good work veggie!

Thanks guys :D and I just looked at my psd file and I didn’t even bevel emboss it its just inner glow, inner shadow, and outer shadow. I took the text did a black inner glow and then a inner shadow and then a outer shadow, set it to (soft overlay) duplicated the text cleared all layer style and made it orange, no bevel emboss, but I appreciate the impute I’ll take note on the shadowing though :D

Good job :) Keep up the good work!

Looks great. For enhanced navigation I think adding some dropdown JS menu bars would look good. Under 'forum' you could have Register, Members, Forum Home, etc.

I dont know how to code a template or slice it yet i to lazy to learn how to lol :D because im so caught up in photoshop :D i made a really cool logo i might sell today :D

[Yellowmc]

Slicing is probably the easiest thing to do, then imageready will do all the hard work for you with the coding.

ok cool i think ill look up how to do it

[Dini]

it's kind of cool, but I don't like the font you used for the menu bar.. it's ugly and big. Try using tahoma, or any other simple font :)

[veggie1232]
