At last I've finished my profile. I've made the layout about two months ago and didn't get a chance to finish it till now. This will probably be the last profile I'll make for a good while since I don't think I'll ever get the chance anytime soon to make another like this one. I might go back later on and make changes to the animation to the media player section on the bottom of the layout. For the most part I like how it turned out.

This is awesome. Great job.
Edit: you do have a typo, it says dubsep instead of dubstep, and stopping is with 2 p's. :p

A bit to many "enters"? looks like they're not aligned correctly.

I think it could do some more color...otherwise it's fine. A bit too plain for my personal liking though.

Ah too simple for me personally...also where you middle image is and the bottom ones...they need to be blended in more on the right side mainly since you can see line going through.

And well here's my new profile design since it's been a while...
Not great but I couldn't be bothered much after since I forgot to save my first version after losing it to a crash lol.
Well any suggestions or criticisms let me know...everything will be linked when it's properly up.

Somehow, your profiles always feel "warm". I can't really describe the sensation I get when I see them, but they feel so... natural... so.. dunno, warm and happy and stuff. xD

Most seem aligned to me and thats how i wanted it to look for the images so they are not all in a straight row.

It looks good...though I think the top half needs a little more text possibly since it's a bit bare in that area.

If you put like a welcome to my profile part at the top right you can bring down your part with your age and stuff down. Well just a suggestion anyways.
Likes/ Dislikes are good to!

LOL not that I don't like it. Actually I think it looks so great , specially the fox ninja girl and the red theme you gave it. And if I have a wish I would ask for a sailor moon theme next :D

Bit too plain for me personally.

I think the text for your "favorite anime" bring it down a little...it's too high up slightly.
Also the text on your fav anime is a little too small so it's not very readable...may be changing there outline color to a darker shade may help or drop shadow may be even.

Idk if you want to put a bit more info about yourself under details since it looks a little too bare compared to the right because of the open spacing as well.

Otherwise it's fine I guess :)

@James2705: Hmm, it really feels like everything is floating in space and none of the elements are meshing well together. The thing with profiles is that you generally want to choose a theme or style to exploit and build around that. It's easy to just group things into sections, but to make them seem like they belong next to each other is the tough part.

And just as lolwutfool stated, the text legibility is a concern. Your audience needs to be able to read the stuff you write or else they will just brush the profile off completely.

Also, what I can't stress enough to beginner graphic designers is to use HQ images whenever possible. Blurry images and JPEG artifacts can bring a nice piece down a few notches.

@Alcapwn: Just seems very empty at the top and no flow to the profile especially with how you merged the background images.

@James2705: Nice idea to use a manga panel theme profile.

Images just look looks out of place. Also what FiiFo said, there's no flow.

None of it blends together...and the top half is just pretty much blank while the bottom half has text which is too oversized.
Looks out of place.

Yup looks pretty interesting with what you did with the manga panels.
And anything Angel Beats is a win xD

Mhmm btw I think your layouts width is a little too big...you can see it getting cut off on the right.

The text is a little difficult to make out in in certain places because it has a similar color to the background but only just a little. Drop shadow or outer glow my help with that.

The "thanks for visiting" part at the bottom of the layout should be moved slightly to the right...since it's exactly on the edge.

Might want to erase what looks like a brush effect over lapping the face at the bottom because it's giving a red glow unless that's intentional~

But I do like it, looks pretty nice :)

Text is a bit hard to make out under the top anime and manga though, but not big deal if you move closer to the screen.
