Previous Layouts
The flower one
This layout lasted the longest out of all my layout's so far. It was simple, pretty and... Pretty. But after so many months it started to give me cyber hayfever.
The lil red monkey one
Everyone said this layout looked very zen inspired, as usual I was just messing around in Photoshop and came up with the top image, then did the rest of the layout. The little red monkey also made his entrance in this layout.
The coke one
I needed to get rid of the Christmas layout so I made this one to ring in the new year, lasted until April. Everyone thought it looked like a coke bottle.
The Christmas 2002 one
I wanted a Christmas layout, but I didn't want to do the red and green normal Christmas theme. So I found some cool pictures and did a really nice layout. I wish I could have kept it, I loved that layout.
The one with the tree
I spent ages making this layout. I made 3 different layouts and didn't like any, until I made this one.
The one with the alien
I didn't like this layout, so I drew a l33t sexually transmitted chest alien on it. We named him George.
