Under Construction

Jan 18, 2006 10:57

Ok, so now that we have a paid account I get to play with the layouts a little bit more. Was wondering if anyone out there had any tips or tricks to creating a layout. Would appreciate the help. Thanx.

P.S. Our layout will probly be changeing a few times until we find a layout we like.

Thanx, I'll look them up and see what I can come up with. I am just one of those guys who likes to do it all himself. ;p

It's looking pretty good so far but notice it's virtually impossible to read the white text against the white of her panties.

Oh sure YOU of all people would notice it's her panties!

(okay so I'm kidding, I don't even know you, shut up! lol)

Well, it is her panties. Anything else that light colored would also be a problem.

lol.

Hey Cyn...love the anime, but it's a booger to read through...maybe a larger font? If you notice, mine is as plain-jane as they come, so I have noooo room to talk ;)

Thanks, yea I agree, I was thinking maybe change the color but all the colors see difficult to read, no worries though, I hate trying to read difficult layouts, so I always try not to do that to others. Thanks again.

Dang, this makes me want to do something for my own LJ but I don't have time. I hope you're going to bring back the picture or some picture I think that was pretty good. Do you have something like Photoshop to play with layers and stuff which might clear up the color problem? I'm a fan of these pastel and playful colors. Maybe fade the background a bit and use a color that's dark by contrast for the text, or no harm in trying something like black. And of course a little bit of cropping, at least, and playing around with the positioning of the picture is always a good idea. There's my contribution to the brainstorming for now.

cyn_triksie January 19 2006, 02:04:36 UTC

Thanks for the input. I liked that picture a lot too, unfortunanly it was mostly a test picture to see if I knew what I was doing. We have kids who are running back and forth all day long so we try to keep things a little more modest. Hell, I used to have anime porn all over my comp before, now I just use some FFVII themes for my PC. We will probably be putting some kind of picture up though. Thanks again.

Ah, perhaps even more reason for cropping. Maybe a picture that is suggestive but not obvious so kids wouldn't figure it out, those can be fun too.

cyn_triksie January 19 2006, 02:15:46 UTC

Yea, thats normally what we come up with, something suggestive, and not too obvious (we have really smart kids), but still fun
