Summary:
Hi Matej, if you want your themes to be approved by themeforest you need to make some serious changes to the way that you design them, for example this theme it would have been great one year ago but now everybody makes wp themes and themeforest approves only the best of them. Now, before you upload it, you need to ask yourself a few questions: number 1 (and the most important one) - Is my design unique ?, number 2 - does it have enough features compared to the other designs ?, number 3 - Is it 100% functional ?, number 4 - Is the visual hierarchy ok ?, Does it look old ?, Is the theme style well defined (grunge, retro, clean, minimal, etc) ?. For example here are the issues for Ansonica, it does not look unique, it looks a little old, it is too crowded, it has too much information on home page, the headers and the body text look like they want to kill each other, the sidebar needs more space, the footer looks like is part of the body (try making it different). A good exercise for you is to take the top 10 wp themes in themeforest and try to understand what makes them to sell (find similarities), and one other thing before you make your wp themes try uploading them as HTML and CSS first because you can test to see if they get rejected so you can save time. I hope that this is helpful and good luck with the themes.

David Laurentiu commented:I see that you uploaded the html on 15 February 11, the problem with themeforest now is that is saturated with themes so if you don't come with something original they will reject your theme, a good example is to look at all the new themes that are aproved, some of them are so radical that i don't now how they can be used.

Minor Problem on http://ansonicawp.macodesign.com/ 1 This part looks empty, what if you move Follow us icons here ? 2 Add some shadow in here to pop up the banner a little, as you did for the top part 3 The blue color of this button is used only here 4 Image frame has the same problem with the Top part, it is not giving the effect you wanted i guess, it needs rework Other on http://ansonicawp.macodesign.com/ 1 What is that? are they papers? if yes, it doesn't look like papers Summary:
Hi Matej, Overall the desing is good and templates sections are clear. I just find it a little old style, it reminds old TemplateMonster's templates. Also there is too much text in there for visitors it will look boring. Good luck

Minor Problem on http://ansonicawp.macodesign.com/ 1 Make it clear what the site is about Critical Problem on http://ansonicawp.macodesign.com/ 1 Get the navigation on top of the image Minor Problem on http://ansonicawp.macodesign.com/ 1 I think the shadow should not be seen as 2 font of the text can be changed Minor Problem on http://www.dieloplus.sk/template/ansonicawp/ 1 I try to move the orange and add some more color as yellow yet? Positive Feature on http://www.dieloplus.sk/template/ansonicawp/ 1 nice Summary:
Right now, this needs a bit more attetnion. There are still lots of misalignments and white space is still an issue as well as the genericness of the layout
Minor Problem Blog posts in the banner?
I don't care for the blog posts I think in the banner.
