dinosaurrricons (as reviewed by pumpernickelpip)
[01] First Impression: Nice and simple layout, it isn't graphics heavy so loading is a snap, even for dialup users. The navigation links are at the top, easily displayed, and the memories section WOWED me - I don't think I have ever seen such a precise memories section in an icon journal yet. Very easy to find icons, I think you would have an extremely hard time getting lost in dinosaurrricons' memories section. Resources are up to date and great, the FAQ is very thorough. The info shows the notable resources with a link to more later.
[02] Prominent Subjects: A mixed bag. Actors & Actresses (Gerard Butler, Clive Owen, Elijah Wood, Dominic Monaghan et al / Emily Rossum, Natalie Portman, Julia Stiles and more), Movies (POTO, Closer, Star Wars, Garden State, Sin City), TV shows (CSI, That 70's Show, Lost, SATC, The OC) and Music (Coldplay, Green Day, Maroon 5, My Chemical Romance - a broad array of music styles).
[03] Style: If I had to define any particular style, it would be crisp and clear colours, and sharp images. I haven't seen too much blurring and smoothing of skin, the icons are all sharp and clear. Bold Colours are used, but so are muted colours.
[04] Text: There are a few "standard" fonts used, but they are used creatively and are coupled with inventive colouring techniques. Good use of text placement, I wouldn't say I came across any icons where the text seemed to "clutter" the images.
[05] Miscellaneous: I love the soft colours used in the layout, it's nice and easy on your eyes and looks very peacful. =P
[06] Overall Impression: VERY good. I think you're building up to having a great icon journal, you have a variety of styles, you already have a massive memories section which is a feat in itself considering you haven't had this journal too long, you are not afraid to answer questions and post tutes and I think the number of people that comment and say how much they like your icons speaks for itself.
[07] Constructive Criticism (if any at all): N/A. I like your style.
[08] (three) Personal Favourites:
