Design Suggestion, we need help!!!

Our latest item has been rejected with this motivation:

Overall, it has a good starting concept and it seems you’ve aimed for simplicity, but the overall design lacks details in its design that would help it stand out as more unique. At this point, you’ll need to improve the design and make it more unique before it will be ready for ThemeForest.

Sorry guys but this is not what we’re looking for, right now it looks too plain-ish, not well executed and incomplete.

Here it is: http://themes.parkerandkent.net/prix/skin_1/

Is this for real?

I can’t believe this… Please don’t put me in the situation to call out other approved themes because I don’t like to do that!

It’s a good start!

Really guys, do we know what we’re talking about? Design schools and 12 years of professional experience insulted in 1 paragraph…

I feel insulted. Sorry, so sorry to say this.

To be honest, the background for the main content looks awful to me.

Your opinion. I respect that. There are TONS of awful backgrounds around…

I really do like style four though, perhaps make it the main style and then with some improvements I’m sure you’d get accepted.

I like very much the part that says that we need to make it more “unique”.

All the Classica look alike themes are good to go… they are all unique… this theme is very simlar to all the TF themes instead.

Pure crazyness.

Please guys don’t tell me that this design is awful because otherwise I need to change job… so awful to not get accepted is too much, really.

I need the reviewers to tell me exactly what isn’t good enough, and how to improve my designs… I’m waiting.

Dude, calm down, everyone, even top sellers such as Kriesi gets rejected sometimes, it’s not a big deal really, you’ll get accepted sooner or later. Just try to look for margin/spacing issues, also consider changing the background to something else.

You’ve a good theme here, you should make some small improvements and I’m sure it’ll sell well here on Themeforest.

I will calm down in a couple of hours, don’t worry anonymous guy.

I apologize for the vent, so, now that I’m calm, let’s see what’s wrong with this theme.

Anyone wants to give a feedbcak? But a useful one, not a generic one. I need to know what I need to change to get it approved. I really can’t figure out that by myself because the works I make are like my sons, so they always look great to me

Any reviewer? Tips? Please…
