Past Layouts

I wish I had the former ones to show you, but they really 'a la' 'lets get the stories up' so...

 

 

 

version one: [human] of flesh and blood I'm made...

inspiration: [human]; Craig David

length of time: 15th Jan. (launch date) until 30th March, 2002.

layout: basic frames set---> I actually got bored with it before I put it up... talk about being restless, but hey.

The words splashed as the background seemed to be a good idea at the time, however I had a helluva time trying to get everything to align properly and clashing with the words.... learnt that the hard way!

 

 

 

Current Version: 'Believe'

Why Bittersweet Rhapsodies?

I know, it's contradictory, but the fact is, there is joy in sadness- not 'jeering at the opposition's loss' kind of joy, but I mean, rather things that look as though they're for the worst, may actually be good for you in the long run, even though you may not see it at the time. Point is, there is hope for everyone... well, that's what I'm told anyway... no pain, no gain, right?
