    Filled the void. :lol:

    And I know it was stupid to do that, but I needed to put a filler thing, any suggestions on what I should do for the bottom? Instead of just cutting the bottom off.


    :: Edit ::

    Should I just scrap the banner and footer?

    Bevel is instantly too much. Try and lower a bit. Don't do an all brush out banner. Header top + bottom isn't that cool.. but overall, good start.

    Thanks for the suggestion and comment but the banner and footer doesn't have brushing, it was made in Bryce.

    Bevels = Yuck, not a fan of the layout either. Keep practicing.

    It looks unusual and a bit harsh to the eye...

    You should keep away from using that many bevels and gradients and stuff. And The backgrounds for the content boxes will look wierd when (if) they expand as you add content. The only way to fix this would be to use some kind of slidebar, and i dont think that would fit in very well..

    Its good for a first layout thogh!

    not really a fan of this. but maybe once you get some more finished it will look better. really needs a header tho and i think the content boxes need work. not a big fan of the colors either. but i just noticed it was ur first layour so ur at a good start.

    decreasing the bevel on everything would make it instantly better

    Like everyone said, lowering the bevel would make it a lot better. Also I think the footer and header looks a bit weird. Maybe lighten up the scanlines a bit.
