Well, now, this is certainly... different. Georgia and pale gray? So not me. But like the rainbow layout, this is a product of some sketching from work the day I forgot to bring a book. I only filled half of a small sheet of paper, but there are no less than 6 completely new unique ideas. (Well, unique when compared to each other, at least.) This dashy thing is one of them. And like I said, it is so not me. Where are the bright colors? The solid black lines? The small sans-serif fonts? The slightly-mismatched-ness of it all?
Well, strange as it is for me, I really love this layout. It's... classy, almost. Simple but elegant. I remember when I was younger I stayed in a hotel where instead of muzak in the elevators, they would play advertisements for the hotel. (Seems kind of silly because you're already there, doesn't it?) So the ads had a line that went: "It's casually elegant, it's elegantly casual." I don't know why I remember that. But I do know (or think, at least) that that phrase could be used to describe this layout nicely. Casually elegant. I like that. One thing's for sure, this is not for the short-entried. Especially if you have a lot of links, that will make the whole thing longer and if your entries are short you will have lots and lots and lots of empty space, which won't look so great. The name of this layout is "At the Stars." There are no stars. But I didn't want to name it "light gray" or something like that, and I happened to be listening to "At the Stars" by Better Than Ezra so there ya go. Ugh. Second filler text of the night. I'm definitely done now. Oh! Don't want to forget. Looks great (!) in Netscape, works in any resolution. Yay! Off to make some brighter color schemes, the gray is a little too drab for me. before & after |
