saul's Summer Layout Thread

Whoa! That's really amazing saul. I think JA will be very happy with it. What program do you use to first design layouts?

I love it! *huggles it* Thanks saul ^^; *saves the attachment*
 
*sighs* Good, glad you like it ^^
CC, answering your questions: I don't do Topsite Skins =( I wish that I could but I can't I have NO skill at all with them. I only know how to maybe change the pictures. Next, How I make my layouts is this:
I draw them out on MS Paint, and design it there, I do the graphics there, everything and it's hard, I use NO fancy program like PaintShop, I don't have it =(
Then I upload the pics on the net. ALL my ,layout are very alike. So I usually just copy paste the code from some past layout and edit it by changing the URL's tp the banner, pics etc. I align where the text should be. So That way I don't have re code everything, I guess it's like taking a short cut. But that's how I make my layouts ^^ No program exept for MS Paint.
 
Sorry For Double Post >.<;;
I have finished PokeRadio's Layout! =D
Here it is:

You can also download it from the attatchment
I hope you like it. It's simple yet cool (In my opinion)
I noticed that your site on the top shows what song is playing, So I would suggest using the top part with the Jolteon as that piece.
 
very nice work as always :)
 
Wow... o.o I would say that PokeRadio is your best layout yet. TPP's is good too, but a bit slow loading.

Robo, I have two things to say,

ONE- I agree, PRadio's is one of my favorite ones yet! ^^
TWO- Your Sith avatar just freaked my sister out :D

Thanks for the comments ^^
I'll start the next on my list
PJN!
 
Darth Sidious scared your sister? Aww... he's harmless... fairly. Just don't get him mad or he'll go spouting lightning everywhere... XD
One comment- you've always had a problem with 800x600 compatible layouts. Remember that 779 pixels wide is usually the way to go. You might be able to get away with 780, but most people go with 779.
 
just wanted to update on the layout. ive done some major overhauling to the code so far. here is where the site will sit for the next week or so till i get the design finished up: https://www.pokeradio.com/wpkrtest/index.php
 
Hey that layout is too good. Saul baby, you rock to the core. I think Pokeradio is going to very very happy with the layout. BTW you do design layouts for topsites, don't you?

I'll try to remember that. I never understood how that works but now you kinda explained it to me xD so just make it 779 pixels wide and it should work? anything else?

VChat, Looks great, I can't wait to see my layout on your site! ^^
CC, I don't do topsite skins, I don't know how. All I can do is edit the pictures = (

Actually I think most people do 780, I think...
I don't see why 780 wouldn't work anyway...
 
I've personally always used 779, and most of the people I know do too. But I think 780 may work if you don't have margins.
 
a few words of advice here if i may:

1) save all pics in gif format. try either irfanview or gimp. both are free and can save optimized gifs (difference is that irfanview is more of a viewer program whereas gimp is a full editing program like photoshop). going from png to gif, i was able to get all the layout pics reduced in size by a great amount doing this.

2) try to clean up the code a bit. such as the navigation bars. dont give each new line their own div tag. rather, keep the whole navbar in a single div tag

3) stay away from image maps as much as possible. div tags help here. check the changes i made to your code for examples of this.

i dont know how exactly you do all your work, so these may just be side effects of your work process. but keep up the good work and think about my suggestions a little bit.
 
Saul's working on mine now! w00t!

I can't wait to see it ^_~ I already told you that I like TPP's layout lots =D Awesome work!
 
Layouts are looking good, saul! They look like your best yet.
 
Okay, PJN: I'll get to work on yours tommorow afternoon. I'm gonna see star wars tonight =D then tommowrow morning I have a 3 hour Karate exam @.@
Pradio- I'll try and convert them. I'll use GameMaker to do that (I always say, gamemaker can do ANYTHING! -.^)
 
Can't wait Saul ^_~ I'll most likely put your layout up tomorrow if you get it done by 3 xD
 
just wanted to update you guys on the layout. been doing some major integration work so far. but havent gotten any new pages up yet and i still need to add more links to more pages im going to add.
