The Jamesyfly Effect
I guess that my little "redevelopment" is pretty much complete. I changed the post background (as you've all seen) and I've edited a couple of things here. Most noteably, I now have a button for my page. If you want to use it, you are welcome to. And in return, I will link to your page from here.
However, I do request that all buttons are 100x35, if you're making it yourself. I mean, it keeps things looking neat, afterall. ~_^
In Mimmi's case, I made a button for her. So if anyone's interested in that, I might give it a go.
In other news...well, there really is no other news. I've just completed another school project. And I must say, it's one of the most boring projects I've ever done. My own work is really bland, too. And it's bland for a reason; I didn't find anything even remotely interesting about the job at hand.
I had to do a half page newspaper ad (and a strip ad) for a shipping company. So I just called my fake company "Global Express", gave it an incredibly safe/obvious logo and created a very simple ad. It wasn't that I was going in thinking "I'm going to do crappy work", or something. It was just that if I'm not interested in something, I simply don't tend to do very well at it. Or at least, I physically can't put all of my creative energy into it.
I think that's a huge weakness on my part. It makes things ten times more difficult, when I'm doing design on something that doesn't personally interest me in some way.
Anyway, I'm just glad to have it done. After doing a lot of reading about how people view type on a page, I was influenced to reduce the width of my Otaku Life update column. I am actually wondering if the decreased width makes it easier to read the text. Usually if you create columns with a certain amount of width, people "pick up" each line of text more easily.
There was nothing scientific to my adjustment on myOtaku though. It was mostly just an aesthetic thing. But I'm wondering if it really does make any difference, or if you haven't noticed at all.
Also, in response to comments on my last post:
Radaghast: No need to be sorry at all. Your first post (and especially your subsequent post) on my RE Outbreak entry was completely fine. Actually, it was great that you posted again and qualified your statement. That kind of effort is really appreciated. I never know what to say in comments and I rarely make large ones, so I appreciate it when people invest the time to comment on my page. Thanks. ^_^
Tonyboo: As you can see, I've linked to both of your pages. Why? Because they're cool. Thanks for linking to mine. *thumbs up*
*says to everyone* If I haven't responded to a comment or something...well, that's why pencils have erasers, hun. o_O;;
