This is my first layout so there's probably a ton of things wrong with it. lol. Please tell me what you think and help me improve it. Thanks.

It looks great. And SP's layout isn't too bad.

It looks like every other random animation forum that is made by members of other larger sites.

No offence. The art is cool, I guess.

That's pretty dang cool. I like how you put shots of your animations on it. Did you actionscript the whole thing? what did you use?

Looks great. Love the style of course.

My only concern would be for the thumbnails. I could see that getting annoying if you planned on doing that for each in house animation.

I would change the banner and the navigation bar, expecially because it doens't flow with the sign up/log-in button.

Good luck.

IMO, if you got the whole site to look like the banner, it'd look much better, but I guess it would be too bright. Looks great either way, but a lot of sites are black + another color nowadays.

Lol, actionscript.

A real pro would have coded everything from the ground up using XHTML, CSS, PHP, javascript (and AJAX) as well as a little PHP. Though I guess you used some visual function? Maybe a template?

Nice, try to make the buttons and the "Sing up" sign blue.It will look better imo.+ make blue the picture on the bottom right, but you know what, dont do that, just change the buttons and the sign.
