I read your profile so I know that you are a beginner... If you don't like my feedback, I am sorry... but generally I tell it how it is.
So...
the colours and design are very childish, there are ways of making childish comical designs look extremely cool, and sophisticated, but this isn't one of of them
The back ground is cool but doesn't suit the foreground
The fonts in the navigation are a bit avergae, and the submenu's that float could be quite difficult to navigate around. I suggest that you don't use small Caps within these menus.
it's a cross between vector feel and sketch, choose one, and stick to it, don't mix, or if you do, do an excellent job.
On a plus note the site has potential, so do a little more design research and work it through.
Good luck

Aaran Casey commented:Thta's ok, but as a designer you need to tell the client what is what. Colourful is ok, but choose your colours carefully. I don't necessarily mind the figures but they link away from the website, not the best idea. At first glance I thought this was a website design for a kindergarten.
Obviously the client wants it colourful and have the fun appeal, so working on that, maybe look at making the the page background a piece of old pape with doodles on it, or semi scrunched up notepaper, and then make it blend this will make the rainbow stand out a little more, as werll as your content boxes with the watercolour borders.
Average - Yes, you have this design that looks like a 5 yr old drew it, and then these big ugly fonts for the main navigation, and then the strange submenu's floating off, and then stopping. For the main navigation use a different and more school yard font like BudHand Regular, for the floating submenu's use the same background as your content boxes, that will tie it in alot better.
That's an excuse - just search the net, there are more than a million designers out there, all with different pools of resources, beg, steal or borrow! Some places I would recommend: www.vecteezy.com, www.brusheezy.com, www.bittbox.com, www.sxc.hu...
stay with the sketch idea, it's a nice look, however remember that alot of sketch designs are vector.
Good Luck Metin you are on the right course!
1- Yeah, it's a childish design. My client wanted wanted to make the layout as colourful as possible, and plus fill the footer with such figures. You're on that it could have better. But I don't know how to make such a design look cool. Is there any suggestion you can give me, or any article/tutorial you can recommend?
2- Shall I use solid colour or a background pattern to overcome this problem?
3- Avergae? What do you mean by that? Any suggestion to make the submenus easy to display and navigate?
4- As it was difficult to find all the figures I need to use in sketch form, I was forced to go for vectors occasionally.
Thank you for being honest and criticizing thoroughly.
