Not to sound rude, but that’s more like $100 not $10,000 and is far away from TF standards.

It’s graphically weak and dated, the spacing is a mess there is a total lack of vertical rhythm and visual hierarchy.

The typography also needs lots of attention, typeface, spacing, line-height…

You sound extremely rude, are you having a bad day today guy? It will be ok, just lay down and go to bed, you will be fine in the morning.

In this business you have to be able to take criticism. just gave you some informations and it’s better you get them now than when your themes gets rejected.

But like glossy cat said:

Work on the whitespace and padding parts.

I think i took it well, in fact I helped iKreativ by criticizing how Rude he actually was.

Kreativ I love criticism , just not rude criticism that’s all :)

I do really appreciate everyone’s feedback so far, who knows.. maybe this theme will get approved after all.

It wasn’t rude, read all of my critique’s, I say it how it is, and what I saw wasn’t good enough for TF standards and if you think it’s even close you are deluded.

Next time I’ll tell you it’s awesome and you can spend another week wasting time on something that’s not going to be approved.

If you evaluate a theme like that then a lot of themes here are $30K worth, so you need $20K more :)

If you don’t want to sound rude, don’t ever write something like “Not to sound rude”. That will only escalate the impression that “there is something going on” :) I was doing a salesman couple years ago, wonderful times…lol

I am sure Scott was just being honest and you shouldn’t blame him for his opinion.

I think your design needs mainly these two things:

1) Consistence of design elements – there is tons of styling and unfortunately they don’t work together very well. Seams like each element was designed in another part of the world if you know what I mean. They are mostly nice, but they just don’t work together as they are now.

2) Air. This design needs more room and space. For example the position of the “submit” button in the footer screams “We were out of paper so I just squeezed it here” – doesn’t sound/look very representative right?

Wish you best of luck with your venture here, it’s a great place to be a part of.

I think im starting to get the hint of a broader scope of outlook here. Which is constructive for sure :)

Thank you for Positive Feedback, I would love to hear more from you :)

Well I would agree that it’s rather far from being approved.

In addition to previous comments: there is too much noise overall and menu is in need of significant improvements.

Agree with all the feedbacks provided, this template still required a lot of improvements before getting approved. But, I think its a good start.

You can’t just say this is a $10,000 theme while your hour rate is $100/hour. You can only say that when you manage to sell it at $10,000.

All feedback taken into the queue of things to do… And yes you are right… Any other suggestions would be great! Thanks
