It could be many things. We tried something new, and it didn't 'work'. We need to realize this is a success not a failure! Being creative is not efficient! You will have learned something, even if it is just that you don't like what you tried. (An art journal is a place to experiment.)
With the first spread, I found out that if you use really bright colours underneath, it is hard to get the foreground to compete. The 'background' became the foreground.
Sometimes the colours don't look good. Or the composition is all over the place.
Sometimes the colours don't look good. Or the composition is all over the place. Sometimes it has to do with how we were feeling, maybe we were getting out something ugly - in which case maybe the pages should be ugly?
Often it is just our viewpoint, and other people don't think the pages are ugly. In which case, who is right?

the one with the crow is wonderful and the last one simply charming...

I especially like the first spread - not ugly at all - right back at ya!! lol
Try again :-)
Okay you guys, see how you are making my point? I think they are ugly, you like 'em. Who is right? Ha ha
I will try again Fadwa.
As I always tell my students, mistakes are the best teachers. If you don't take risks, you don't learn. Only you can really know if it's a success, if it's what you were going for, so keep going! I admire your willingness to share your "mistakes"!
