it's not me who's copying Wyldesites from A to Z

plus, if your measuring of quality is what other people do wrong instead of what they do well... I don't know, guess it's your problem, not mine.

As for Dickman's design, the Casey Parker design is like 100 times above your quality in strict design terms (although in marketing terms is pretty weak and I bet it converts very bad). The MariahVip is simple, yet a different thing to everything else they have. See, you had to search hard for something simple and minimalistic (not badly done, just simple), while I took a look at your portfolio and all your designs are exactly the same, and to make it worse, a copy of another designer.

Let's see:
1) Look for a cool background
2) Add some text in Futura MD BT font
3) Add some text in another Futura family font
4) Add some glow effect. Add some pics
5) Let's not forget the glass buttons
6) Call it a tour (or even your own portfolio)

Listen, I can't design shit, I always have cool ideas yet I don't have the skills to make them go real, but I've designers that can do 4 tours like that (and way better) per week. Believe it or not, I'm trying to help you since I guess you're either too young, either too cocky, maybe both. You're not doing yourself any favor and every single thing you say makes you look worse, so why don't you simply stop embarrassing yourself and leave Mutt alone? He probably knows 1000 times better than you what he wants and how to achieve it, the design for his sites is 100 times above your skills, your only resource is to find the weak spots for other people and compare yourself to those weak spots. Can you see what I mean?

Anyway, just an advice from an older guy, just do what you want, I won't stop you
