    Well, It's a graphic for index page in folders, where I don't want to allow directory listing:

    I guess the line stroke is OK..

    But the font is a completely horrible choice. Change the font to something actually readable.. You shouldn't be going for the grunge effect.

    Another thing, the color choice is absolutely horrible The color you chose represents diarrhea to me, and whenever I see that color, I cringe.

    I guess there are some pluses to it, but I can't see them clearly, I'd change it to a more eye-pleasing setting.

    I'm not a fan of the border/bevel effect.. it has too many gradients from dark to light to dark to light.. looks confusing.

    The biggest problem here is the lack of balance.

    Your choice of typography is also an issue. Not only is the main text incredibly hard to read but you also use two completely different typefaces; there is no consistency.

    As for your choice of colour; the two colours aren't particularly bad but using them together certainly doesn't work.

    Why the metallic border? Don't go overboard with text effects and styles. Remember often less is more, KISS ..etc. Be subtle.

    Thanx everyone!
    I'm just starting to learn things in designing, so I don't really know that. I'll change it soon.

    I think it looks really good, but like others have said, for a tutorials site, I don't think it fits. Do you happen to have a tutorial of making this? Haha, would be neat to see how you made it.

    Frankly this graphic is doing a bit too much.
    The word to keep in mind when creating such things is "simplicity".
