New Blog Layout~

Yes it's that time of the year (?) again, time for a change! My skin was starting to itch seeing the low resolution Mac photobooth photo on the layout header. I've always used codes from existing layouts and to be honest I haven't change the codes for the past few designs, only slightly. Since I am a design student, and I learned a bit of Dreamweaver last year, I thought hey, it's time to make my own layout.

I have forgotten so much, but I somehow made everything work in Dreamweaver anyway. Web design is lots of fun! It's very exciting for the nerd in me.

In these photos I wore two layers, that's the silk kimono slip inside, and my yukata outside. I wish I had a proper kimono but I don't :<>

So yes those are the photos. In total there were 459 photos, which I cut down to 99. And it just so happened that the shot I used for the header was the 459th photo!

And you may have noticed that I designed a logo for this blog. It was quite a last-minute decision really, and I just wanted to scratch something up in a few minutes so I did! I just played around with the words JUICE22 and came up with that final solution. I thought the overlapping 2's created a bit of the organic feel that is evident in the idea of 'juice'. So yeah, for something designed in around 15 minutes, I say it's not too shabby.

The previous layout title was (rose) and this time it's collection of memories, which is the English translation of those Japanese words you see. Why did I use Japanese even though I am 1.not Japanese 2.don't speak much of the language? Because I love the typography. Nuff said. And anyway it suits the blog theme.

So yeah I guess that's about it! It's a bit simple and slightly more texture here and there would look better, but I shall let it be for now. Is the font for the blog post text too big though? Hmm...
