old and unused..

This section contains three subsections: unused, old, and old & unused. Unused: ..more recent layouts that I made but did not end up using. Old: ..old layouts, made in the year 2003 and earlier, which I find to be unusually crappy. Old & Unused: ..layouts made in the year 2003 and earlier, which were even worse than the ones categorized under "old". All screencaps are resized to a width of 400 pixels to save space. They are not in chronological order.

  archives of unused..

Below are the thumbnails of more recent layouts that I have made, but decided not to use. Hover over each one for a short explanation. (Made in the year 2004+)

Featuring: Yuna of Final Fantasy X. Made to prove to my friend that MS Paint is a decent program. Used a tutorial from  http://firey.net/tuts -- Programs: MS Paint, Notepad, WS_FTP LE Featuring: Squall Leonhart of Final Fantasy VIII. Initially this layout was made for Retrospect. I never used it because I hated it. Unsurprisingly enough, I still do. -- Programs: Photoshop Featuring: Spike Spiegel of Kingdom Hearts. Initially this layout was made for Winhill.org. I never used it because I couldn't figure out a way to extend it so that it would fill the entire page. -- Programs: Photoshop Featuring: Squall Leonhart of Final Fantasy VIII. Couldn't figure out what colour to use for the body text. -- Programs: Photoshop

  older archives..

Featured here are the archives of some of my older layouts, most of which I am not at all proud of. This section will grow according to whether or not I find more of my older layouts. Hover each thumbnail for a short explanation.

Made for a group weblog called 'Energy',  this particular layout featured Kairi of Kingdom Hearts. I don't much like it, especially not the font of the lyrics that I chose to put on. I also did a terrible job with the coding -- Programs: Paintshop Pro, Notepad, WS_FTP LE Featuring: Kairi of Kingdom hearts. I made this for 'The Seventh' during a slight layout block, hoping that it would turn out half decent. I ended up hating it, however at the time I was working on it, some random person instant messaged me, asking for a layout. At first I remember saying no, however I changed my mind, and offered them this -- Programs: Paintshop Pro, Notepad, WS_FTP LE Used at 'No Regrets' back when it was a personal site. Featuring: Rinoa of Final Fantasy VIII. I remember being very proud of this, and still think that it was a fairly decent layout for my level back then. However, if I made something like it nowadays, I'd trash it without a second thought. View the Splash page next--> Programs: Paintshop Pro, Notepad, WS_FTP LE The Splash graphic for the previously listed screencap [at 'No Regrets']. Featuring: Squall Leonhart of Final Fantasy VIII. I don't hate it, but it'd be crap nowadays. At least I no longer have to look at it -- Programs: Paintshop Pro, Notepad, WS_FTP LE Used at 'Waiting', a Final Fantasy VIII official Fanlisting. Featuring: Squall Leonhart and Rinoa Heartilly of Final Fantasy VIII. The colours on this are just horrible. Actually, the whole thing is just horrible  -- Programs: Paintshop Pro, Notepad, WS_FTP LE Made for 'Bolt of Sorrow', a friend's weblog. Featuring: A Monstrous Rendition of Mickey Mouse. I remember liking the actual graphic of this layout, however the coding was a nightmare  -- Programs: Paintshop Pro, Notepad, WS_FTP LE A hiatus layout for 'No Regrets'. It looked nice at the time I made it, but I don't much like it now -- Programs: Paintshop Pro, Notepad, WS_FTP LE Featuring: Yuna of Final Fantasy X-2. A layout made for an attempted--and failed-- HTML/CSS/Graphics help website [Founded on August 16, 2003]. I'm not crazy about this layout, but I don't hate it either. The colours are kind of repulsive -- Programs: Paintshop Pro, Notepad, WS_FTP LE

  older unused archives..

Below are the thumbnails of older layouts that I made but did not end up using. These are not with the "unused section" above because I consider most of them to be extremely crappy. I like to think that I have improved since I made them. Hover each thumbnail for a short explanation.

Featuring: Squall Leonhart of Final Fantasy VIII. Originally made for a domain that I thought I was getting. Unfortunately that particular webhost ripped me off and never ended up setting it up. This layout looked alright in an 800x600 res. but once you get up to 1024x768, it's hideous -- Programs: Paintshop Pro Featuring: Lenne of Final Fantasy X-2. Initially made for the afore mentioned domain, however when it never got set up, I edited it to work as a site collective [called 'Reluctance'] which I never actually opened. Regarding the layout, I think it's pretty as a graphic, but looking it at it from a layout standpoint, it's really not that good -- Programs: Paintshop Pro Made for a Soccer website that I was planning to open. I think it was going to be a fanlisting or something.. I don't even remember. Whatever. I think I was going for the 'trendwhore' style. It's tidy, but ugly. The colours are alright though -- Programs: Paintshop Pro Featuring: Lenne of Final Fantasy X-2, I made this for Leonhart.net. I don't remember why exactly, but I did. By the time it was finished, I hated it, and never bothered to, for lack of a better word, 'submit it' -- Programs: Paintshop Pro I made this for a small Final Fantasy collective that I was planning to open. The colours don't match, I hated the FF sprites that I used [which were made by me], and the name sucked. I never did end up opening it  -- Programs: MS Paint, Paintshop Pro Made for a digital portfolio that I was planning to title 'Expression'. Featuring: Actress Katie Holmes. I remember coming across an image gallery for Dawsons Creek, and it inspired me to make this. The colours don't look that nice, and I didn't blend the images very well. Looking at it now makes me gag -- Programs: Paintshop Pro A 404 page for 'No Regrets' Featuring: An original image drawn by me using photoshop. I'm not sure which year I made this in, either 2003 or 2004, however it was saved in the section of my computer where I used to (but no longer) save my layouts/graphics -- Programs: Photoshop
