layout

How does everyone like Version 1.0? Personally, I adore it to death, but it's not really about what I like anyway. This layout has lovely variations of purples, grey, whites and greens. As always I got my inspiration from other sites; this time being Serendipity and Time After Time. And of course, my layout doesn't even begin to compare with the glory that is theirs.

Version 1.0 took me about two days to finish completely. Why did it take so long? Because I actually planned ahead as I was doing it, made a first attempt, didn't like the coloring and redid some parts. Then on my second attempt I decided to use the images that you see now instead of the other images that I had. And of course, I had to color the manga scans - which are from volume 3 - and organize them on the layouts. At that time, I decided to redo all the brushwork and had many more brushes than those that are on the end result. Thank God for layers.

After such, I decided to put up the green and dashed border that is around Tamaki and threw on some crappy text. Thus, I then closed Adobe and started working with Paint Shop Pro to create the borders of the layout. After that was finished, the second version of the layout was up.

However, as I was working on the content, the crappy text started annoying me so I went back to Paint Shop Pro and redid all the text to what you see now. And hence, my finished work. The coding, of course, was all coded by hand on notepad and consists mostly of tables.
