Process :This layout was really easy actually. I don’t even need to show the process. Basically I first took various screenshots of my RK OVA 3 dvd and then I cut out equal squares using a defined proportion in the cutting select tool. Then, I just posted them around like a square. I applied Vivid Light to all of them while Sharpening the images slightly with the Sharpening tool. Next, I just put a rectangle box in the back and then erased a portion while using custom shapes to just use the flowers provided by Adobe, and stretched it out enough so it would go around the page. Following this, I just filled in the inside portion with a gradient of light and dark green. Within this vine-like interior I added a slight green with some small pattern found in Adobe, just to show thorns, and to top it off made the sides have the small flower custom shapes from before. Next, I just created a box in the middle where the index page used to have a poem. It was really simple. Created a small background for the header, and I was finished.
Description :This layout was for my first Rurouni Kenshin related fanlisting ever! I adopted it from Janice! Thank you Janice. It was supposed to be for the OVA3 episode so I was somewhat limited to what pictures I could use for it, and had to depend entirely on screenshots. But, i just wanted it really simple and easy to navigate which I think I achieved. I think it turned out pretty well.
