A new layout for the February 1st reveal on
the_lj_reboot and its out with the blue (for the time being anyway) and in with the gold. The layout is Bloggish - I did intend to try to learn how to code another style - Smooth Sailing or Tranquility - or go back to The Boxer for this one, but in the end, didn't! The header and footer were made from two stock images by
xymonau that I found on stock.xchng and the background is a simple repeat pattern made in CS2 using the texturiser filter (this is sandstone). The layout uses 4 colours all picked up from the finished header - a dark and a light gold, a cream and a dark brown. Like my personal LJ, this layout uses a 'faux' sidebar created by using a 1px deep journal wide wrap image that repeats down the page; I wanted something that worked in both Firefox and IE, and this does - although it just looks better in Firefox of course ;)
PS - some new textures coming up a little later...
ETA: changed it again twice since then!
