just post the direct links, imageshack is broken.
But from what I can see, you need some more practice before you can make anything sellable, do to the quantity of the templates posted, i am going to assume that you did them all in a short period of time. Design is like fine wine, it takes time.

ok i'll post a few templates first..
I spent 5 days a week over 2 and half weeks doing these. (all 13) some of the designs were spawned while i was working on other templates
If i was to self critique this one the only thing i can see that needs changing is the xmas picture. I did add that to fill the area to demonstrate a picture should go there.but i am not selling the template with photos becuase i can't afford to buy images (especially if my templates don't sell).It's kinda like a catch 22..need some decent images to make decent templates to make money..
on this one...i'm not happy with the logo.Initially i had the header text closer to logo..
what am i missing?
I'm open to suggestions for improvements...
thanks..

is that resized? It would really help if it was full sized.
from what i can see about that one specifically, the colours clash (even if it is "dusk" themed) and the font choice leaves much to be desired. I think that you need some help picking colours and fonts, and maybe some inspiration from other sites.

I think the background colors for the type in the two above make it a little less likely people will read the type. There is not a good contrast.

Well, your first post looks like you spent 5 minutes on each, and they all seem to look alike.
Your next two are of the same quality of the above work. They all look very bad.
Practice more, copy other sites if you must to get good design down.
The copyright watermarks are not needed, no one would steal one of those.
Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, and Practice.

I don't mean to sound like an ass but if you sit at the monitor and wait for good comments then you aren't going to get any better, a few people have given you some hard, but constructive criticism in this thread and you tell us that you are speechless and stumped, even though we have given you some good tools to come back and show some improvement. If you posting in the comments section, you shouldn't expect all nice ones.

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.

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!
