I forswear that I will not compete or participate in any further challenges/contests.
Because...yet again. I have been proven correct. It is all a high school popularity beauty contest, therefore - subjective.
I do congratulate the participants that went on to week 2 and I am not bitter.
BUT I do object to the layouts not being judged upon the criteria stated within the mainframe of the contest..because the one design that I observed looked like it was thrown together at the last possible second; the picture did NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE QUOTE used; layout was boring (cookie cutter); and the picture was posed/unimaginative.
The layout that was chosen to go on to week 2 was chosen ONLY ON NAME POPULARITY. Not on the specified criteria of Quote-"CREATIVITY AND UNIQUENESS" "CAPTIVATING QUALITY PHOTO" "LAYOUT THAT HIGHLIGHTS THE PHOTO". The layout was again one of the cookie cutter plain boring things that are everywhere.
Like driving through a suburb of ticky/tacky homes...all alike...don't you notice the one that is built differently...that stands out...that is custom...colorful?
I will not be purchasing any further items from that website as I am thoroughly disillusioned. They had me in the palm of their hand and had many opportunities to create goodwill. And didn't. Wow. Go back to school. Get a degree in MARKETING, you stupid bitches!
My name might not be popular; my layouts are not cookie cutter; but I have more money than I know what to do with...and I KNOW I won't be spending a single solitary cent on their site or on ANY of the designers that sell at their site!
Really, you would think after so many years...I would not be so naive.

Bob,
I spend way too much time as it is doing Theresa's bidding ;), and just wandering around taking care of things for NDISB whilst trying to manage my own stuff. But I love your personality. I couldn't help but come over here for a minute. (My brother-in-law writes for a living, and just wrote a column about how so many have observed that the web is minimizing human contact, therefore minimizing interaction and relationships. His point was that the written word, blogs and forums have created bonds between some (himself included) and others that would not exist were it not for the web.) I was at my blog today (didn't contribute anything though), and re-read your comment, which prompted me to visit you. I've only gotten this far though, before I had to leave a comment.
First, I see that you edited this post slightly ("you stupid bitches!") when you posted it on the forum. We appreciate that, and you made me laugh out loud when I read it. :)
Secondly I agree with what you said. More important than that... this layout of yours that you submitted is outstanding! You know... I'm no artist. I like to think that I can occasionally be creative with words, but what you did here is amazing. Great photo, but when used to create this layout, it becomes much more. The use of the window and sill, then the repeated use in the background and again in the clock. You can feel it echoing into your soul, especially with the coloring and paper selection.
I looked at your NDISB gallery the other day. You clearly are very creative in your approach. I love that your stuff doesn't look like everyone else's. I know that you wouldn't, but don't change a thing about how you go about doing what you do. It is easily superior to the majority of what I see out there.
See ya around.
Ernie
