I mean this with the utmost respect. You're not there yet. Don't get me wrong, these designs are great and 3 years ago I couldn't do anything like what you're doing, but it's not something I would pay for at this moment.

Design #2 in particular, something just feels off after I look at it. Might be inconsistent margins? Lack of focus for my eyes? I think a few more months of practicing and you'd be a great person to hire, but keep working on it.

You're in the home stretch and just have a bit more to go imo.

Thanks for your opinion, I'm always trying my best.

For flare, I'd make the body text such as username/password small like an 11px font.

"For flare, I'd make the body text such as username/password small like an 11px font."

I am curious why you would say that?

When I look at his Flare template, there's just too much big text. The submit button, the login to flare, register here, you don't have an account, and the site logo. These all look the same size to me and I don't know where to focus my eyes.

Keep in mind, I'm by no means a designer and have no idea what I'm talking about.

Where can we find your contact info?

Looks like email is in his profile.

My advice is, always post images in full size, scaled down images look odd in the sense, they don't show the real spacing and readability.

Also, you could use more spacing between sections and 12pt fonts are too 2003-ish

Keep working. All the very best.

Thanks for your opinion.

Your work looks good! Keep it up! Try sourcing projects on odesk, guru, elance, freelance. You work is surely hire-able. Love hearing about a 16 year old designer who's out looking for freelance work! You've got a bright future!

Thanks for help. I'm trying my best.

A portfolio page could probably go a long way to help secure some work. A web designer without one is odd to me.

Your stuff looks really good though. Keep it up.

This is the reason I asked on HN for job, to fill my portfolio page.

Great work! Keep it up ;). If you ever want to hack on some side projects with a developer hit me up. I always have a few things on the backburner :P.

Thanks. I am always willing to do on new projects. I will contact you soon.

Good work. Am sure you will get better. All the best.

Thanks man.

send me an email (contact info in my profile). I am looking for freelance designer.
