And every time I see your face, the oceans lead out to my heart
CREATED DEC 24 2008. ORIGINAL TEXT CONTINUES BELOW.*If you can recall (obviously not, right?), I copied and pasted most of the paragraphs here from past updates on my site(s).
Most of you know me, Kioku, as the
I guess I like experimenting on graphics. Most of my layouts are experiments, or rather, me playing with all the available materials I have on my canvas. I could never sit down and say to myself, "Okay, let's get started on that layout! I've been needing to change it these past weeks..." and create a layout intentionally. They always come out unintentionally to me. ^^;
Normally, (If you know me well enough) I would make the layout background the same color as the header background color, right? Well, this time I didn't, and I went with something different. The layout background color adds some emphasis the header, at least in my opinion. xD. I reused a lot of the colors I used for V3 of Koko ni, but this current version is a more yellow and green; the last one was more blue and green.
On this one, I used a lot of so-called "typography". Most of them are lyrics from Bleach's first ending, "Life is Like a Boat"; but otherwise, some are just random sentences. Random such as, "Aa, sou desu ka? (Oh, is that so?)", "Hontou desu ka? (Really?)". I included some English in my header as well. Japanese text just looks so pretty on graphics.
This icon used for this layout was made some two months ago (when I made the layout), which inspired my V4 two months later. Funny, huh.
By the way, the lyrics on the navigation, the title of this content area (the <h3>), along with a few of the lines on the layout image, are lyrics from Life is Like a Boat by Rie Fu, Bleach's first ED.
