This layout features Tsuyuri Kohane from the manga XXHolic by CLAMP. 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.

I'm quiet iffy on this layout, since it's the first I've done in a long while. Needless to say, it was very much an experiment at blending techniques and trying to create a more smoother and cohesive layout style since this is what I believe to be what my designing has been inevitably changing into. I'm certainly content with how it came out, but I don't feel it's "knock you off your feet" material.
However, I do enjoy the coloring used here. Expect more pale blueish backgrounds in the future. Only, they'll hopefully adapt within different shades ranging from light indigo/grey to a light turquoise, with smidges of grey in between. Consider it Harper's new "cream and grey" (since I've had a cream and monochrome-grey background coloring phase in the past :P). Take note that although it's my current vice (among photography, vintage lingerie, and nylon magazine), I refuse to make it my one and only. :P
On a miscellaneous sidenote... Why the hell do 90% of my premade layout titles start with "A"?! Dx
