The Poor Princess layout is a do-over actually. The first layout I made didn't feel right to me and to the person I was designing it for. Her feedback helped guide me toward the right direction. Amber, LOL. It's great to know that my designs are now worth stealing :D Thanks, Kat! :) I find it a lot harder to design for other people, too. The Poor Princess layout is a do-over actually.

If I didn't like reading your blog so much and wanted to return I'd have to thieve one from you. :P I am more than jealous of your graphic design skills.

I find designing for other people hard, to get their personality and taste and fuse it with your own style is a challenge. But you do it so well! I love all your designs :) Your portfolio is flawless, just beautiful! Well done :D Wow wow wow!

I'm sure the light blue looks like white on it :P Tyler, that would be awesome! I'll e-mail you right now :) Kats, are you sure it doesn’t look like crap on your high-contrast laptop?

Much simpler and it works in Opera. Thanks for suggesting it! I'd have to upgrade first, though, because I'm still on 2.0 :P I've been putting off upgrading for fear that I'll break everything LOL. But I'll definitely switch to that once I do upgrade. I don't really have a method for picking colors. Sometimes a color combo catches my eye while watching TV or leafing through a magazine, and I'll use it for a layout. Most of the time I just make it up as I go along. I tried using those online color schemer tools before, but they don't work for me. <blockquote>maybe by my third layout, i’d be ask good as you! (wishing… *rolls eyes*)</blockquote> But you <em>are</em> a lot better than me, considering it's only your second layout. <em>My</em> second layout was so far away from being as good as yours :P Thanks for the great feedback, girls! :D *squishes everyone*
