Regardless of what's been said; it's blatantly obvious you were looking at Flookie whilst designing it.

No i have not... I wouldn't steal someone elses idea! Don't start ganging up on me saying i have done this and that... when i did not even know of the site. Plus the background is in google, search wood background in google and its on the first page.

http://images.google.co.uk/images?hl...-8&sa=N&tab=wi

the only similarity is the background... So quit saying i copied when i didn't even know the website untill erlier today !

Gary, apart from the background what is similar about them? Even the background isn't exactly the same: look at the top of flookie and compare to his..

The font is different; the layout is different; the way in which he puts forward his portfolio is different; the use of images is different.

If he is "inspired" by using wood backgrounds, then so are countless others.

The footer looks almost identical, with the black overlay to it; so does the text boxes.

I put a footer on, Because i asked for suggestions and someone on my other thread, Said i should put a footer on so i done a see through effect on it. And added a dashed border across the top. For the last time I DID NOT COPY i didn't even know the website...

look on "cpr" post and read his comments...

  • Lastly, i'd add a footer, the page ends quite abruptly at the moment.
plus there footer has dark to light fade effect.

I'm gonna have to agree with Gareth. The only similarity is the fact that is uses the wood background, and is set ontop of the body background.

Otherwise it's completely original. Johnson, don't worry about **** other people say. So long as YOU know, then that's all that matters. People have huge sticks up their asses sometimes.

I tend to believe you Johnson, however I must say its extremely similar.

Even though you might not have done anything wrong, personally if it were me, I'd still want to change it to avoid any issues in the future.

If you can't open that page...anyhow that's been there for about a year now.


Other than that, good luck with the coding market!

Also, it's until not untill.
