Phase 5, entitled Rule Sick! features Scanty and Kneesocks from Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt. After a long break of design, I felt that I should tend to my site! I’ve always wanted to experiment with text in layouts, and I aimed for a circus-esque effect after hours of tweaking and trying new fonts. This design went through numerous color schemes until I tried one that really popped! I’m very pleased with the result. The artist of the image can be found here!
Phase 4 features Fran from Reborn. The manga coloring used is from Stomatopod. After a long hiatus from web design, I thought that I should update with…something! As you can see, I’m a big fan of vibrant color schemes. The blue and purple blended well together, and this design stayed online from April 2010 to November 24th, 2010, a long hiatus indeed!
This is Phase 3 of (inky);paper entitled pomme pourrie, meaning “Rotten Apple” in French. After a month’s break of web design, I decided to get back into the groove. I carefully selected my choice of colors and I went to work shortly after. This design features Chidori from the Persona series of video games, and it showcases a lovely blend of red, light green, and gray. Compared to my previous two layouts, this design is quite a change of pace as it is not dark-centric. There is not much to say here, but I thoroughly enjoyed this design.
This is Phase 2 of (inky);paper entitled You are the culprit. I thought it was about time for me to give (inky);paper a new look. For this design, I used a game CG of Hisui from the Melty Blood: Actress Again fighting game. When I was brainstorming on what color scheme I should aim for, I stumbled across that delicious image of Hisui. It won me over, and I had to use it for this new design. After coding the design, I was able to design the header. I decided to go with a delightfully dark, pink color scheme. The notebook paper touch to this design topped it all off. This design stayed online from September 4th, 2009 to October 3rd, 2009. It stayed online during my first weeks of 10th grade and I had been suffering with designer’s block at the time. Patience is a virtue!
This is Phase 1 of (inky);paper entitled To Rot. I love this layout. In the beginning of my designing process I tried many, many approaches for the anime image. I wanted to give off a blue feel to the design. After searching through my art I found an old image of Black Rock Shooter illustrated by Huke. I thought that the image was perfect in what I wanted to display. After some time I achieved the coloring I wanted. Then the design was complete after I dressed up the header. The coding and color scheme was a roller coaster ride. At first I used blue, neon green, red, hot pink, and white. When I looked at the result I was pleased, but then again displeased. I did not want to use red, white, and blue again in another design as I have used that trio before with ashikiYOKO. So, after narrowing down my color options, I selected only blues and neon green. I have to say, it looks very nice. I could finally give myself a pat on the back. This design is near and dear to me. It was online from August 16th to September 4th, 2009.
