My thread, new to this thing.

second image:
much better, and the way the lines divide up the text makes more sense in this composition.  i like the nam the man text and the arrow down to show his picture, and the general composition is organized in a nice, cool way i think.  however, the tiny picture of nam in the yellow shirt is unnecessary and distracting.  also, the whole shit load of monta logos laid out across the whole left side of the page... it's tacky.  maybe you could create more depth with a play on opacity setting and overlaps and size changes... and maybe none of them should be at 100% opacity because that takes a lot of emphasis away from the main text "nam the man" which you want ppl to look at first.  and lastly, the big nam the man picture should've been cut better.  blow the image up real big and use the polygonal lasso tool at about.... 5 pxl feather settings (depending on how big the image is of course) and have patience and go over all the little bits on the outline of what u wanna cut out.  or... cut it out much more roughly but put the feather settings much higher so there's a much smoother transitions between the image and the background.

I agree with this strongly after looking at the photo again. Yeah, just reduce the opacity level, it'll look fine.

Owen, although I agree on the points you made, You really don't have to be so harsh in your posts.

On the first page (interview) the picture in the bottom right, this should be a bigger focus on the page, maybe top right and bigger. And also, the border you've put round it, I can see you've used marquee tool or shape tool to create the border. If you put a layer underneath the photo and drag out a border with the rectangular marquee tool and press alt + backspace it will fill it in for you, that's probably the easiest way to do a border, alternatively if you want to get it a bit more complicated, control + click the layer with your photo in it, and it will make a selection of the image, then go select > modify > expand and play around, probably about 7 pixels or something, then make a new layer with this selection and fill it in and it will be an even border around the photo. Good for a first though mate.

its just the style of which you write, for example in your image 1 'analysis' you have no positive comments or ways to improve, instead you just point out all the negatives.
but s'all good, Id love for you to post a photography/photoshop etc thread as you seem to be an expert.
