Current Layout: Torii

The illustrations are inspired by the anime Natsume Yuujinchou. The title Torii is the name Japanese give to the gates to their Shinto temples, and is the main attraction of my design. The layout is a compatible with all resolutions larger than 800×600, and most modern browsers.

Layout #3: Yukata

The background design is inspired by a yukata (summer kimono.) The layout also drew inspiration from 72Quadrat. The illustration and coding was completely designed by me. This is the first layout that’s compatible with the 800×600 resolution and works on all browsers except IE6 (for now).

Layout #2: Springley

Springley’s palette inspiration came from Pattern + Palette 2 The actual ’spark’ of an inspiration was from the anime series ARIA the ANIMATION, where life on Mars is portrayed as paradise on Earth, where everyone is kind, everyplace is beautiful, and everything bad is… never reflected.

Layout #1: Pendant

This layout was inspired by a necklace my boyfriend got me for Christmas. I took a picture of the original necklace then airbrushed it to make it look more “cartoon-y”. The wooden background is part of a wallpaper by Zyklo.
