Not only have you just called his design trash, but didn't give reasons for fixing it. I recommend you give a more detailed reason why someone's design is bad/low quality instead of listing overused features with a small amount of opinion in the aspect.
Criticism is criticism, whether it is good or bad. I have told him my opinion, I have specified he overused glow and dropshadow without modifying default settings for these two tools.Overall the design is quite bad.The colour scheme is terrible, the typography is bad, it is an eye sore and it is not well laid out. I know this user is perfectly capable of better designs and, like he did, I know he can take my criticism and agree with it.
