Process :
20 minutes. This is how long this layout took, and maybe another 15 minutes to code. I was switching to the textpattern system on gumgum.org and basically wanted a layout that was really simple to work with and I wouldn’t have to worry about too much of messing up. I just basically stuck the images on there, put a little background repeat you see there, used a new technique Hana taught me with bending those rasterized shapes, and then I was done. A really simple layout overall. I was going to actually go back and do the footer a bit nicer but I was too lazy to at the end. With all the content that went into the layout it really turned out much nicer than I had expected and the color theme was a great departure from the usual themes I do.

Description :
They say simplicity has a charm of its own. This is most definitely apparent with this layout. It just features boxes of some of the characters along with the pirate sign and some orange background colors. Very simple overall…
