    For your adsense ad, change the ad color to black but keep the ad link colors blue.

    As for the logo, I think it would look nicer is it was slightly larger.

    First impressons - nice & clean look


    AdSense

    As a "visitor", I think the size of the GoogleAds on the home page doesn't get in the way. It does get in the way on the main article pages.

    The blue color on the homepage blends in too much I think. I barely noticed them. Orange stands out and I would be more likely to see, read and possibly click on one of them.

    [Possibly some split testing is need here to see which pulls better]


    Other Ads

    Clicking on "learn photoshop in 2 hours" produced some errors - and the error message is black text on a black background, so be careful of 'hidden text' issues with Google.


    Overall

    Very nice. If I was learning Photoshop (and there was more content) I'd probably keep coming back.

    Very nice, clean site. I would use this site for tutorials because it isn't covered with ads, they fit well. Good luck. :)

    You might add another adsense block at the bottom of your page or off to the side. You can have up to 3 blocks. I'm sure you'll start writing some content for this soon. The design looks good, and you might add some more tabs in time. Your site should at the minimum have 10 pages to it IMO. You're off to a good start.

    Try to make the top menu smaller. Kinda waste of space.

    you need content before you start publish it.
