Alkaline

This layout features a character from the artbook Ballad for Innocence by the artist Nanakusa. It was created with the help of Adobe Photoshop CS2, with a tables code, generated in Adobe Imageready (which was then later edited in Notepad). It is best viewed in a screen resolution of 1024*768 and up, but can be viewed in 800*600 screens as well. It was created by Harper.

This layout was so much more trouble than it was worth. I struggled with coding the 3 buttons on top because I made them so that you could actually type in the desired links. I had to do with the stylesheet and it just got ugly. However, I finally fixed it. The stylesheet was also a pain in the butt since I had trouble figuring out what colors to use. And then I had to figure out how to tile the background properly and stuff. However, I am pretty proud of the banner.

The brushes that were used within the layout were from Appendix2, Ewanism, In the Orchard, Moargh.de. The texture was from Shizoo, I think. The fonts that were used in the actual layout design was Georgia (computer default).
