* I design with a focus on content. I don't believe in over-the-top layouts that distract from the core of the site - content. Therefore, my designs tend to be fairly clean and minimal. Unfortunately, a lot of my work has been deleted. What I have here is a small fraction of the amount of projects I've completed. Please be respectful and not copy my graphics without permission, as they are the products of my sweat and blood, not yours. Enjoy!
A layout I used for my blog summer 2003. I used black and white pictures from my debut for the bottom layer, and made polaroids out of pictures taken that summer for the top. Very cheesy.
One of my favorite blog layouts from summer 2004. I loved it so much i used it all through fall. I made the entire layout using just Microsoft Paint which, in some respects, is better to use that PSP7.
My current blog layout. I used the colors that are on my Urban Outfitters tote. The design was inspired by a club flyer I picked up on Melrose. Again, this layout was made soley on Paint. (The phrase on the bottom is French for "all's well that ends well.")
Yet another layout made on Paint. This is my current archive page. I had a matching layout Spring 2004, and I loved it so much because it seems so simple and clean that I never changed the archive page I made for it.
A layout I made summer 2004 for my boyfriend. The real image can be found on Thrice's special edition CD sleeve, but I altered it through many filters on PSP 7. Three sets of lyrics overlap on the left hand side, and a fourth hidden one in white lines.
A yet to be released layout I'm still refining for the band to each his own. It will be up once they get their own domain. I darkened the link and content area and used a gaussian blur and a blind filter (respectively.) I also cut out the body and used a sepia filter. You can see it in the splash image below. * Image won't be available until the site is up
The splash image I wanted to use, but couldn't make work. You can see the cut out and sepia filter on the body in the background that is covered up by the content (see above picture.)
This was a temporary layout I put up Fall 2004. Yes, I do understand that the shades of green are nauseating. In fact, this is the worst layout I ever made, but the line is from my favorite E.E Cummings poem.
