Hey guys, this is just a quick thread template I made purely out of boredom. (Large image)

Hope you like it and I always appreciate feedback (and criticism - as long as its constructive Wink)
Let me know if you're interested in a design like this and I'll quote you a price <3

I don't like the font you're using.
You should add a place to put the title where the giant picture is. Otherwise the picture is just there.
Good work.
yeah

Looks pretty good.
As Nyan said - the picture is just there.
But it looks nice.
Good job making this.

For the template section - Don't know if you did this on purpose or not, the line isn't centered correctly.
The shadow on the contact buttons looks off a bit.
fdigl..
Almighty.

Text bodies would look better justified. The grey and blue do not work well together. Blue seems to bleed through grey, makes it harder to see. It's weird how most of the design is flat, yet you added a backshadow in the items section and contact me section. You have to work on alignment, every section has an alignment issue. You also need to work on consistency. About me, my skills, contact me, etc are different font sizes yet serve the same purpose, they are titles. Try keeping a minimum of 3 fonts and 3 sizes (Heading, Title, Body). It will keep things in terms of text cleaner. Adding on to that, make sure that the sizes have a decent ratio. Meaning don't make a title super big, and have body text extremely small. The ratio in the About Me section is a good example of a good text size ratio. I noticed you only used 1 font. I used to be like this, but then learned that using just one font can be boring to the viewer. Try using two. But try to keep them similar in appearance, or find some that work well together.

The pros of this design is the cleanliness. I also like the skills elements you created (although I see lines that are not exactly going through the corners). Overall this is a pretty decent thread design. Just needs polishing.

The image header image is too big, especially considering the fact that there is no header text there. (It looks empty and un-needed. The thick, blue separation bar underneath the image is also un-needed. Either completely remove it, change the color of it or resize it. (Or a mix of those options.) There is also a overall issue with the choice of font, and no it isn't my personal opinion on the matter. (Even though I heavily dislike the font used.) There is a overall lack of contrast in the design, which is apparent in the choice of font used for headers and main text. (They are the same.) I also noted that the "K" in "KhasmTemplates" looks blurred.

The vertical separation line that separates the "About Products" and "Templates" in the second container is rounded on the top, making it fall out of the container it is suppose to be within. The choice of colors are dull, no focal strength in them what soever. The diagram isn't properly made as the lines don't all come from the middle and don't all hit their "edge" like they're suppose to. (Not to mention the obvious fail at the "%" number, though I'll assume it wasn't thought out well and was more for presentation purposes.)

The overall design is bland, with a lot of empty space, no focal point and is also hard to read thanks to the overall lack of font and color contrasts. (It is easy to overlook things right away for example.) There is little to no organization for the the text placement. It is not aligned properly and for the part where it is, it is aligned poorly compared to the under titles.Not to mention the complete and utter lack of paragraphs. Now unto how to fix all of this, or at least a pointing stick in the right direction.

As mentioned, do something with the header, decrease it's height and add a header text to it of sorts. (Maybe a logo or something akin to that.) The separation should be worked on, by decreasing it's height, altering it's color or just flat out removing it. Under titlesand main text should also have different font classes, to make it easier to read and organize with one's eyes. (Hence, read up on font contrasts for this one.) The font seems to have been picked without any thought as to how it would be used, as a thick font like this (I assume it is Impact) doesn't do well for reading bigger text boxes.

Try to fill out the empty spaces more, give the design more strong contrasts and more color to make it stand out more and to make it easier to focus on. (Make it more interesting in other words.) Organize the text better, and align it better with the under titles in mind (Remember to add paragraphs.)
