I think you kinda overused the scan lines a bit..

The font in the banner is terrible.
I reccomend www.dafont.com, get a better font and maybe try a different font colour?

Im going to be critical of myself here. Nothing is perfect. This is not perfect. I need to improve on some parts of the design as some have told me over MSN I know. It is not perfect (Had to say)

I know banner is terribe as I just wrote that in randomly

First off, if your going to use scanlines as a background, there needs to be a colour underneath, otherwise it looks crap. The text is ok, obviously as you followed a tutorial. The scanlines on the boxes arn't that good.

It's a bit, plain. I mean, the banner box is only 1/4 taken up by the banner, unless your going to add something to it. The scanlines on the banner must go.

The navigation boxes I don't like. A gradient on a drop down navigation never was my thing and I doubt it's many peoples elses. If your going to use a drop down nav then I suggest just using text as a drop down. It's easier, and more effective.

The shadow on the boxes has too much spread on it as sometimes the shadow off one box, overlaps the shadow on another box. Also, lower the opacity on the shadows.

Onto, the banner. The text could do with bulking out abit as the "glossy" text I think doesn't go well with thin fonts.

It looks like it's too small aswell. Try and bulk the content box out a bit, and the banner doesn't have to be the width of the layout.

Good Luck, it might become a great layout.
