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.

Originally Posted by mikeroq 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.

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!

It doesn't mean steal elements off other sites, it means look at things you like, and try to emulate and expand upon them.
