v. 2PM KPOP


   

Public Voting: 2nd Place (+8/10 Pts)
Josh's Score: 17/20 Pts
Josh's Comments: I really enjoyed this design. The website layout reminds me of Hikaru Hoshi's current one. I always love your CSS and tables Vero! I liked the color scheme, and the bottom footer. However, in both the layout and the wallpapers, I feel as if the base image is somewhat morphed..? It seems you can tell it was scanned somewhere where there was a crease or something. It's not too noticeable, and still nice, but it drives me crazy because I just can't put my finger on it. Also, at least on my widescreen, it seems like the layout footer doesn't need to have foward, main, back, or at least in the place they are, because it seems to get off-centered with the rest of the left-aligned things. All in all though, I love this design!
OVERALL SCORE: 2nd Place! (25/30 Pts)


v. Beyond Your Comprehension JROCK


   

Public Voting: 3rd Place (+6/10 Pts)
Josh's Score: 16/20 Pts
Josh's Comments: I love your use of dark colors, and simplicty in both the layout and the wallpaper. The layout is no big frills, and gets the job done in an artistic manner. My only not liking part is where some of the numbered links embedded on the image are slightly hard to read. The wallpapers I like a good amount, however I'm not sure how realistically useful it may be. When I tried to use it, it was somewhat hard to read what my icons were ^--^
OVERALL SCORE: 4th Place! (22/30 Pts)


v. Boys Before Flowers DRAMA


   

Public Voting: 4th Place (+4/10 Pts)
Josh's Score: 19/20 Pts
Josh's Comments: Aaaw. I feel bad for you Melissa. I think your layout and design were quite nice. Your CSS is lovely, as is the designs themselves. My only beef is that the top part of your layout looks a little funky to me. My eyes don't want to seem to see those stripes of black and grey.. Other than that- love it! Your wallpaper is quite eye-catching and relavtively easy to use in a practical sense.

v. Colorful Summer KPOP


   

Public Voting: 1st Place! (+10/10 Pts)
Josh's Score: 19/20 Pts
Josh's Comments: Carol, I just have to say, this is quite amazing as usual. You have such a talent for design, so thank god that is what you are going to school for. I extremly love the CSS and the overall different colors. The theme is also a fav ^--^ No issues with the wallpapers, except sometimes it is a bit hard to read all your icons on the desktop. The layout has only an issue for me since I'm quite picky- the banner backgrounds for the headers are cut off at the top- something I am not a fan of. However, that's nothing major.
