Don't get me wrong. I appreciate the honest constructive criticism. I was just taken aback and caught me off when i was not in best of moods.
I am taking all criticism and pointers into consideration and going back to the "drawing board" so to speak lol,and come up with better designs.
Analysing myself i can see I was more focussed on the outcome than spending time developing the design. It's good to recieve feedback from fresh eyes.

Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, and Practice.

hmm..copying other sites -isn't that stealing pretty much? Or do you mean copy layouts and redesign elements?

Which brings to another point..that is why i am probably holding myself back design-wise.

Thankyou for criticism!
