Judge # 1Image/style quality: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10The image is beautiful at first glance. However, once you take a longer look at it, it really makes you wonder how some of the aspects of it fit together. The fade in/out on Eichi/Mitsuki should have been done in a way that made it flow together better. The butterflies and bubbles looks extremely random and the fact that the cloud/grunge effect stuff suddenly appears (leaving the top right side of the banner completely bare) and only in the center of the banner just makes me go, "what?" Otherwise, the colors in the banner are gorgeous. CSS: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Your external stylesheet shouldn't contain the <style> tag. That's only for internal styling. Also, even though you've got an external stylesheet, you're still styling withing the actual HTML itself. Every time you open the style="" attribute of a tag, that means you could've coded that piece within the stylesheet rather than in the HTML. Your headers also could've been a lot easier/less code had you used the h1, h2, etc tags (which are meant to be header tags anyway). Your font (all of it) is extremely difficult to read and the content headers are way too small. The only "readable" content is your links in the navigation. Coding: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 You, like many other contestants, relied on ImageReady to code your banner's table for you. If you have enough knowledge to DIV the content section, I don't see how you couldn't just DIV the banner as well. It makes it look as if you're either too lazy or just don't really give a darn. Also, rather than using so many line break tags, you could've easily fixed that by using the paragraph tag and styling the margins/padding within the stylesheet. Your code isn't as sloppy as some that I've seen, but it'd do a great deal if you'd indent and comment as well. Overall: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 The banner is gorgeous, but after that, it's something of a let down, especially since it's so difficult to read anything aside from the links. You should seriously consider more contrasting colors so that the viewers don't have to squint or move closer to their screens to view or read your content (or have to highlight the text to read it). It's an extremely annoying thing to do. Also, increase your font size as most people are no longer using 800x600...you could even say a lot of people are straying away from 1024x768 and using larger screen resolutions. In saying this, your font size would be far too tiny for anyone using large screen resolutions (and I'm only using 1280x800...and I've got to increase the font size just to read it). Scoring: 19/40 |

Judge # 3Image/style Quality: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10Comments: Wow! I love the colors!! Yellow, Orange, and Pink are honestly some of my faves!! Plus I love the series and the image itself! I also really like the heart with the little couple in it next to your title and the title is very fitting! <3. I am also fond of your avatar! I love the love avie! CSS: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Comments: I like your css, especially your navi headers, but I would try not to use the kind of blocky headers that you use over the content, that just looks a little inexpierienced unless you give it a more modern look, also I don't like the bg of your headers and how its a little hard to see in the middle. Reading a header should never be squinting and guesswork. Your links are pretty generic, not good or bad, but then fancy links can be annoying. Coding: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Comments: Your coding is neat and spaced well. Very good =] Overall: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Comments: The overall effect is quite pretty and it is a really cute, kawaii layout! Scoring: 31/40 |
