[F]Another Template Battle (Laesorin wins)

[laesorin]

Thanks for voting, and i knew someone was gonna tell me about the font, and i personally think its because the words used are Lorem Ipsum, and no one really knows what the words are, but with the usual english words, they would be easily recognised. But again, fair comment, i will have to bear in mind the font.

So thats 1-1 so far.

That is the only thing that puts yours below mine, in my mind. I got blown out of the water except for your text. Keep it to a nice Sans Serif font and you should be fine. And Lorem Ipsum is about as close to real Latin based language as you can get without becoming English or French or Spanish or something. That has nothing to do with it.

Great effort both of you,

It was actually quite tough deciding between the two of these, however Josh narrowly gets my vote on this one. I really like the simple feel of the design, it would work well as a blog layout. A nice choice for the header image.

Laesorin's entry is very good, I think you would have gotten my vote if the text was a little different, the script font has been used in too many places and is difficult to read in some. The logo here does work quite well, despite what I said in Critique, you've made it work.

2-1

Josh, I have seen your DA account and I see that you are very good graphics wise. However, this template of yours doesn't come close to what you can do.

Laesorin's entry was very well done. The text, the textures, the colours, the concept, it's all good. It could have been done better polishing some rough parts, but kudos to you.

As I said earlier, Josh, you could have done much better. I know you went for a simple template, but I didn't like it. I just don't find one thing that catches my attention. I liked the colours used, but it just wasn't enough.

Vote to Laesorin.

Josh: 2
Laesorin: 2

Good luck to both of you.

Sorry about that. Mistype.

Laesorin's Entry pwns. My Vote goes to him.

His design is awesomely constructed. I have to save its very impressive and the over all design is very good which leaves you thinking 'wow, thats really cool!!'.

Only set back is font- its OK for the title, but as the standard font for the all text, id say that a different one would be needed, especially for the links, as its hard to read.

Joshes entry like most of his work Ive looked at is very decent and over all professional as always, but i think that Laesorin's Entry wins purely because of the amount of effort he looks to have put into it.

Really good job all =]

Laesorin requires just one more vote to win.

Nice close battle this.

Laesorin, seems like you put a bit of a twist on this grunge feel. I think the vector in the background would look better flat and not so blurry or visable. Get some color implemented, the brown and white is rather dull by itself. Otherwise, the text can use a bit of work.

Josh, you know I've never really liked this piece. As a I have mentioned before, its simply too dull and uncreative for my taste. Everything is too flat and unappealing.

Laesorin wins.

Josh: 2
