Current Layout

Layout Title: Aqua Venus
Time on Website: August 20, 2009 - current
Featuring: Milotic
Resources Used: Legendary Pokemon, Feel Resources, Brushes: 1 2 3 4, DaFont
Comments: I really love this layout. It featured Milotic and it was called Aqua Venus! This layout took an awful long time to design, however, and an even longer time to code because I was really uninspired during this time and did not want to work at all. This layout also had a humongous amount of effects applied to it, including a ton of brushes and a texture. This layout really reminded me of a layout I made for the earlier days of The Forest Manor, which is probably why I made it. :P

Past Layouts

Ever wondered how my layouts before looked? They weren't really the best ones, so if you want to see how well I've developed in Photoshop, look here! Here are some of the older layouts that I have created, from newest to oldest:

Layout Title: Aria
Time on Website: July 14, 2009 - August 20, 2009
Featuring: Swablu
Resources Used: Legendary Pokemon, Himitsu
Comments: This layout had a much better running time than the first layout for The Forest Manor. It featured Swablu and was called Aria. This layout was really simple, unlike most of the layouts that I design for The Forest Manor. I only applied a wispy line effect and a reflection effect using tutorials from Himitsu. Of course, this layout didn't come with errors. For one, this layout had little space for text and the text was really hard to read.

Layout Title: Darkness
Time on Website: July 3, 2009 - July 14, 2009
Featuring: Darkrai
Resources Used: TinyPic, SwimChick.net, DaFont.com
Comments: This layout was the first layout I was truly proud of. It featured Darkrai and was called Darkness. The only thing that irritated me about this layout however was its darkness and the lack of space on the layout, seeing as I'm always accustomed to making lighter layouts. That's why this layout lasted for less than two weeks (the shortest a layout has been on my site).
