WBB's layouts over the years. See the layouts that I made for this site of mine.




Version : 10
Layout Name : Simplicity
Screen Resolution : 1024 x 768

This tenth layout of mine was done purely out of boredom. The only thing that this layout involved is some cheap tvlines background with gradient-coloured background. The flower and leaves were put on the layout for no reason but for the sake of taking up the big blank green space. Mentioning green I find this layout to be very green. Anyway the links are all images and thus they were linked by the image-mapping link thing. It's a very plain and boring layout, but I did spend quite a number of hours on this layout because I keep on adding and deleting things from and to the layout. However, I quite like the splash page though.

Anyway this layout was made in Adobe Photoshop.



Version : 9
Layout Name : Past Present and Future
Screen Resolution : 1024 x 768

The ninth layout is called Past Present and Future because on the layout I’ve used pictures of Ami from the days of Queen Serenity’s reign to the days of Crystal Tokyo in the future and since I am hopeless in the myth of love between Zoisite and Ami, I decided to put a picture of Ami held by Zoisite and a small gorgeous picture of Zoisite himself. Hehe... Anyway I have no idea that the layout is going to turn out as it is because I have to say that it is simply gorgeous! I wanted to have a big picture of Ami in a frame, but since I can't make a decent frame, I decided to just tilt the big picture of Ami and then give it dotted borders with some sort of clips at the corners of the picture.

I simply fell in love with this layout when it was finished and I must say that it looked like pictures of Ami and Zoisite through the years on a table or on the green grass or something like that, which means this is the first time I actually succeeded in making a layout that does not divert from the theme. Well I used a lot of different effects and fiddling here and there with the pictures and in the end it turned out as it is. Other than that I don’t think I have much to say about this layout as there is not much difficulty in making it and I used the typical type of effects anyone would use. Oh another thing, I was told that this layout loads much faster than my previous layouts. I find it weird because I saved the images in their original size thus they are supposed to load really slow and this is a pop-up layout.



Version : 8
Layout Name : Amethyst
Screen Resolution : 800 x 600

This pop-up layout lasted for quite a while, well I am not sure for how long actually but it did last for a couple of months instead of weeks. It was created using Adobe Photoshop and various fonts were used to make all of those swirls. The background was filled with small fonts of the Quenya and Sindarin letters.

I wanted it to have some sort of an ancient feeling and have that Celtic feel to it and at the same time gives my visitor the feeling as if they are going through some sort of dome or something like that. I was going to start my Foundation Year the next day this layout was created and put up on the website on the same day. Anyway this is the first time I used borders for my layout and it is very simple with only little effects being used like texture and gradient. I am quite proud how this layout turned out though I am quite sick of looking at the purple colour.



Version : 7
Layout Name : Tern Ni / Waiting For You
Screen Resolution : 1024 x 768

This seventh layout called Tern Ni means Waiting For You in English. I got a friend of mine to translate 'Waiting for You' into Chinese Mandarin. Anyway I have lost any sorts of inspiration to create a new layout. I find this layout to be really annoying, but I put it up anyway because I have spent so many hours in creating it. I do not want all that to go to waste. I wanted to make a layout with a flowery theme, but ended up making a layout that looks totally hideous. Quite disappointed as it didn't turn out as I wanted it to. Well this layout was up for quite a while and I used Adobe Photoshop to create the layout and the rose was from a brush that I created. It's very sickly red I know and the colours again got on my nerves.



Version : 6
Layout Name : Frozen Reminiscences
Screen Resolution : 800 x 600

I wanted a layout that gives sort of a frosty feeling to it so I made this layout. The layout is dedicated to Zhu Cong, a character in the Chinese drama She Diao Ying Xiong Zhuan (The Legend of Arching Hero). I know it has nothing to do with SailorMercury, nor do I care if it doesn't. Anyway the layout is made using Adobe Photoshop and I have so much time on my hand that I decided to make the links as images. Yes, that's right, all of the links are these teeny-tiny images and so you can see that I have all these teeny-tiny images to create in Photoshop and to link each one of them, argh it was frustrating to create all of those images and my head hurts from staring at the screen for hours because of the links!

I really can't believe that I bothered myself with the annoying links. Anyway I have to say that I find this layout to be really hideous and too simple for me, not to mention the colour just get on my nerves. Anyway, this layout was used for WBB's 2nd anniversary which is on 19th July 2004. By the way, at the time the layout was put up, I had 1151 hits as of 25th November 2003.



Version : 5
Layout Name : Ethereal Roses
Screen Resolution : 800 x 600

Oh this pop-up layout has to be one of my layout that I madly love! Anyway a lot of layering and different fonts such as Akov were used and a picture of a few stalks of roses from gettyimages.com. All that I did was just paste the roses on top of one another, but it took me hours to make it look perfect. It was very ugly at first but after hours of perfecting and layering and blending, I managed to make it look good. Tons of effects were used and only a few butterflies and leaves brushes that I made were used too, but they were quite hard to see. Anyway I used Adobe Photoshop 6.0 and Arial as the font.



Version : 4
Layout Name : Sunflower Garden
Screen Resolution : 800 x 600

This Sunflower Garden layout is too simple I guess. Anyway Orange and yellow is not my color, but I used them for this layout and the layout is made again using Adobe Photoshop. I wanted to see how my want for a weird bright colour turned out. It wasn't as bad as I expected. Anyway the layout eventually got on my nerves and I felt sick of the orange color and put it down as cannot bear to see it anymore and the fact that I made a new layout!

Though I got tired of this layout, I love it none the less. This layout was very simple with effects such as TV lines and a flower brush that I made myself and am very proud that I did. The layout was put up on Monday, 28th July 2003. It did not even last for a month! Someone said that the theme for this layout is cute and I do think so, but still am annoyed and sick looking at this bright-coloured layout.



Version : 3
Layout Name : Untitled
Screen Resolution : 800 x 600

I must admit that this third layout of mine was done due to boredom and it has nothing that reflects Ami Mizuno a.k.a. SailorMercury. OK, maybe a part of this layout has something to do with the mentioned character. Well, the raging sea reminds me of SailorMercury's rage when she was provoked. I wanted to tell people something along the lines of "Feel the wrath of SailorMercury!" or something stupid like that. Adobe Photoshop was again used for this particular layout and this layout was actually put up as a replacement for my second layout. Like I said, I couldn't stand the sight of seeing my second layout any longer and while waiting for a new brilliant layout to pop into my mind I decided to create a quick layout and pasted it on the site, thus getting rid of my second layout while await for a brilliant third layout to form in my mind.



Version : 2
Layout Name : Untitled
Screen Resolution : 800 x 600

This is my second layout which lasted for a few months (can't remember how long) and I got sick of it, though a lot of people seemed to like the layout a lot. I like it too but the blue colour and the simplicity of it just got on my nerves and the layout itself screamed at me to get it down.

Anyway this layout was made using Adobe Photoshop and for the background I used the Gradient Tool and as for the links; they are on the picture of Ami where I drew boxes and typed in the links and put each of them in their specific boxes.



Version : 1
Layout Name : Water Bubble Blues
Screen Resolution : 800 x 600

My very first layout! Ugh, look how horrible it is. Well you have to start from somewhere do you not? Anyway, the top picture is the splash page layout and the very purple one is the main page layout. I did not use tables and dividers for this version of my layout and oh I made different layouts for each page. Can't believe that I bothered myself to make so many layouts for each page on Ami. Well the reason behind this is because I was excited for people to see my layout making skills at that time. I have no idea what font I used for the splash page though I do have a soft spot for the short both the poem that I wrote for my splash page and the font too.
