Horizontal Design

I’ve finished designing the layout for a horizontal version of my site but I’ve decided to stop working on a horizontal website. As different as it may be, I just don’t think it’s the best way to display a website with a lot of text especially a blog. I’ve seen great examples of horizontal websites but they have more pictures than words. Yeah, I could just use more pictures but I like writing (err typing) too even though I’m no good at it. :-)

Anyway, I’ve attached the new design for you to feast upon. Enjoy and have a great week everyone!

New Design On the Way!

I’m never happy with my website’s design so I’ve finally started working on a new Shizucor.com layout. Actually, I’ve been working on three previous designs but have moved on. With the help of Horizontal Way, I’m going to try a different kind of layout: the horizontal layout. Check out the website because it contains a list of other sites that have made the leap! Don’t worry, I’m going to make sure my visitors don’t have to use the scroll bar. :-)

What do you think of horizontal layouts? Have you seen any other weird layout designs?

Changes

So, I decided to change a few things on this website but they aren’t big changes. It’s obvious what they are. When I have the time, though, I’m going to make a new theme that doesn’t suck so much or isn’t so boring (I’ve thrown away the new theme I was working on). For now, I’m not touching this theme anymore (hopefully).

Portrait Update

With what little time I have, I decided to finish the digital portrait of a woman first. Since my original post, I fixed the ear as well as cleaned up a couple areas on the face. I’m stuck on the eyes right now and the hair needs to be done. Since I can’t seem to get her eye right, I’m going to have to read a couple tutorials on eyes. Tips from me readers wouldn’t hurt as well. :-)

So, here’s what I have so far:

When this is finished, I’ll begin work on a new Shizucor layout featuring this portrait. Because of work and school, this new design will not be released anytime soon. Plus, I’m going to take a lot of time and thought into this new one. I’ll be doing some serious experimenting and doing things I’ve never done before. All my previous designs were done in a hurry but this one will not. Wish me luck. When I’m done with the new look, I’ll have to force myself not to make another one in 2 months. LOL

Hope everyone had a great summer! School is about to start and I’m actually quite excited about it. How about you?

Modifications for Shizucor.com

Okay I changed my mind about creating a totally new design. I’ll just get rid of the header image including the nav, rework the sidebar, use an image bullet for the list, lessen the amount of rounded corners, and do something with the footer.

Now, I certainly don’t mind getting suggestions from me lovely visitors :-).
