While floundering around and cleaning out my hard drive, I found all my old diary designs. I gave ‘em a glance, got kinda nostalgic, and thought I’d put up an entry so all four of you could check out my artistic evolution (a.k.a. exponentially increasing boredom).
The Poot Chronicles - I mishmashed the design ideas of a couple sites I’d seen or worked on, mainly an old game review site and a color I liked from the girls-suck page. I stuck with this design for a while, when I decided it looked like poop on blinds.
Poot 2.0
Blinds up! - I’m still doing tables with graphic backgrounds here, but I decided to go for a cleaner look. I think I stuck with this one for a few months, after which I got tired of the whole blue-ruler look.
Poot 3.0
Arrows? - On a free project in my art class, I got an A+ for something I drew involving a lot of arrows, which prompted me into thinking I liked ‘em enough to put them inside a design. This one lasted maybe two weeks.
Poot 4.0
Box! - I will never be able to remember quite what inspired me to make this one. I just saw a bunch of boxes in my head, and this is how it came out. I stuck with this for a bit, until I saw it on someone else’s computer where it looked like the homepage of a manic depressive mime.
Poot 5.0
Circly. - I pictured the current design in my head out of the blue, and proceeded to spend six straight hours coding and drawing it. This is the one that’s lasted me the longest, as it gives me little to complain about. Plus, I finally got rid of that shade of girls-suck blue, hurrah.
Poot 6.0
Green! I liked this one a lot when it first came out, though I realized after a while that it looked too cluttered.
Poot 6.5
Pot Chronicles? - I was in the midst of doing a redesign, and then took a step back and looked at what I had made. What. The Hell.
Poot 7.0
I broke the green scheme as a change of pace, and was pretty pleased with the result. The keyboard picture was because I was trying to put more of a focus on my writing — didn’t help much, but it sure looked pretty.
Poot 8.0
You’re lookin’ at it.
