Layout - The second sentence should read, "The following are layouts done by either Tyler or Harper, or by one of us with [Rene] for your usage."
"So please , read and follow the [T]erms of [U]se." <--You should give a link to the Terms of Use.
"There [are] will be four layouts per page. Thanks."
It isn't necessary for you to repeat the ID of your layout twice--once in the subheader and once on the info. area. Since you always use the subheader, you should keep it consistent, but remove the "ID:" part for all of the layout information section.
Icons (100x100) - The paragraph should read, "These icons were made by Tyler and Harper for you use. So please read and follow the [T]erms of [U]se. The newest icons are towards the top; there are 20 icons per page[. T]hank you."
You've also repeated the bolded "icons" twice below the first paragraph which isn't necessary.
I've also noticed that the last row of icons are clumped together, which takes the organized look of your sorted icons away. You could just add the <center> tag to make everything look more organized.
Leaving the same paragraph at the top of all your icon pages was a good idea.
Icon Textures - You've accidentally added an "s" after the "Icon" on your header. Now it reads, "Icons Textures". Also, on your semiheader, you've written "hawt" instead of "hot", which is a common practice by many people. I think you should keep your professional idea consistent so people can understand you better.
The paragraph should read, "The following textures are all 100x100px, and are in sets. These were made for your icons, so please feel free to download. Please read and follow the [T]erms of [U]se before downloading though[. T]hank you." <--Regarding the "100*100": it isn't very compatible with the navigation link that says "100x100". It may confuse others.
Your icon textures are generally placed nicely, with two previews per one set. I'd prefer to see at least a title or an ID when I'm visiting. It makes it easier to give the icon set a particular name for people to identify it with. You should also give some information like whether you made it out of scratch (though you did. But people might be curious) and you should also give more information like the date, creator, etc. But if you add it to your FAQ, make sure to give a link to it.
Brushes - Again you've written "hawt" instead of "hot" on the semiheader. It should say, "Make your imagess look [hot] hawt".
You also didn't specify whether the brushes were made for Photoshop or another program on the header, even though is says on the navigation link. Here's what the paragraph should say: "The following are brushes made by Tyler so far. They were made by him, and in know way were copied from anyone. He[--he] scanned them him&nps;self. Please read the [T]erms of [U]se before downloading. Enjoy!"
I would also like to see some information for the PS Brushes. You've given information for your layouts, so why not your PS brushes and icon textures?
Tutorials - Just like the Brushes, you've forgotten to write "PS".
Again, you've written "for the public to follow and use" (just reworded). We already know that it's for the public; that's why it's on the World Wide Web.
The paragraph should read, "Here are a selection of tutorials that Tyler and Harper [we] have made for you. A [It is] a step-by-step guide on how to make/ [or] do something,[.] so if you want help on something, [F]eel free to check these tutorials [out] or contact us on the contact page. You can [may] also request a tutorial for a certain icon or graphic by either commenting on the main page or heading going to the contact page." <-- I got quite confused when you've written "or heading to the contact page", though now it seems understandable. Next time you try to add two sentences, please make sure the conjunction and interjections are used properly with the pronouns and subjects.
Icon Tutorial #01 - You've written the important things in bold already, so i don't see why you need to capitalize everything. It seems like you are yelling. The second sentence should read, "This tutorial was made in[/for] the program[,] Adobe Photoshop CS2[.]"
  • "Basically, prepare [a] your base for iconing.
  • "If your icon is too dark, duplicate the base layer and set the layer mode to [S]creen. Adjust the opacity so that your icons looks [like how bright you want it to look] fine."
  • "Make a new layer and fill it with #cfebfe. Set it to [C]olor [B]urn with an opacity of 45%."
  • "Set it to [S]oft [L]ight..."
  • "Make yet another new layer and fill it with #fbfcba. Set it to [S]oft [L]ight with an opacity of 45%.
  • "Make yet another new layer and fill it with #000000. Set it to [O]verlay with an opacity of 19%."
  • "Add textures and finishing details and you're done! Take a look at your spiffy icon.[:]".

  • Overall Tutotial: I like the way you listed your steps. However, there are a bit too many spaces.
    Icon Tutorial #02 -
  • "Grab any image you'd like. Crop it to [till] you see fit! After[wards], sharpen it:"
  • "There! Now go to Layer > New [A]djustment [L]ayer > Selective [C]oloring. Add the following:"
  • "Now, on your key board[,] press [CNTRL]+[ALT+[Shift]+[E][,] making a [merged] layer of everything."
  • "You[']re done! Now add textures/brushes to make it look [spiffy] spefiy."
    Overall Tutotial: You've also written "Other icons;;" with bold and underline, but the first icon tutorial did not have this. It said "Other similar icons made with this tutorial:" which is definitely more specific. Keep in mind to make things consistent.
    Another thing you keep forgetting to do is to capitalize all the commands on Photoshop. But otherwise, your tutorial's substance is pretty high-quality stuff.
    Keep up the good work, guys!

    Overall Remarks - On your navigation's Misc. section, the link to your host, Tijira, does not link to Tijira, but your site's index.
    You keep repeating "read and follow the terms of usage" even though there isn't a direct link to the Terms of Use. You should also either change the link to the Terms of Use to Terms of Usage, or change the rest to Terms of Use.
    You should also capitalize and give a link to it the Terms of Use on each of your resource pages. This way, people won't need to look for it. This will make it easier for them to adhere to your Terms because they can access it more easily.
    You like to forget consistency in your navigation links, Photoshop tutorials, resource information, and others. Making things consistent makes things easier for you and the visitors to use your site effectively.
