    I'd appreciate any criticism you can give me, cause from my last run in, i've learned a lot from all the people here on DP.


    Thanks
    Nick

    What am I supposed to critique again? One of the simplest design I've ever seen? No offense, but why would you even put your signature on that thing?

    Real artists put signatures on masterpieces, until you become good, why put a signature at all.

    Like arcguy said, you need to start *really* designing, or experimenting (COLORS?)

    You have a nice avatar. Use that idea on the Wordpress blog also.

    The structure is okay, but it just looks like an outline. You need some graphic elements, such as gradients for the buttons, headers etc. And add some color!

    I'm looking for beauty in a wordpress theme ... find an image you like and build from there -- use the image in the header, select colours from the image use them throughout the theme, select a complementary font scheme...

    Images will come very suitable to your theme, Hades, and some work on the fonts will do miracles for you. Like changing the font of your theme - in the way it looks now, it is more than simplistic but you can make it much better.

    Cheers,

    First of all, let me thank everyone for your responses. I guess it is a bit simplistic to be a WP theme. I will consider working on it again, hopefully make it better.

    A person's work is his work and no one elses. My work might not be good, and I know that, but I won't be ashamed of putting my name on it, because I made it, and I don't see why anyone should ever be ashamed of anythign that they have done, especially if they had fun doing it. Sure the theme sucks, but I put my name on it, cause I made it. I guess that's hard to understand to some people, but Im not doing this completely for the respect of the "props", but just for the fun of it.
