Hey everyone, hope you are all well?

I decided to have a go at designing a PSD theme to sell on Themeforest, and whilst I wasn’t expecting it to be accepted first time I was hoping for a little more feedback from the reviewer, I was sent just a generic email. So below are the links to the screenshots, if you have time could you please have a look and let me know your thoughts.

I just wanted to go for a nice simple clean theme for my first, hence the name Kiss (Keep it simple stupid) ;)

Its too basic. This kind of minimilastic work cannot be accepted in PSD category at all, no one will want a PSD for something which can be easily achieved in HTML , that said, you will need to add a lot more to your design. First thing – Colors.

And make something which is difficult to create otherwise, with lot of effects and styles, something which catch the eye. See some of the recently approved designs in PSD category to get an idea.

You can also have a look at Creattica, dribbble and other inspirational sites to get some inspiration.

best regards.
