Welcome to Gaia! ::

I'm kind of surprised that we haven't made a thread for this yet, but that just means that I get to be the one to do it! biggrin

I've been fiddling with my profile as of late and it's been rather frustrating, but I know that a well made profile is worth its weight in gold. My latest look, I hope, will look like this:

But there's still a lot of work to be done before it's ready.

So, what have you done with your profile? Seen any cool profiles? Want to do something with your profile? Am I awesome, super-awesome, or super-duper awesome? [No, those are the only three options you can choose from.]

[*whistles innocently*]

Huh? I'm pretty sure that one's there...

You can't prove anything. biggrin

Well, I've gone ahead and put up the new one. I still want to fix some of the text on it, push some links around, etc. I also went with a black background, I think it looks cleaner and helps cover up some mistakes I made...

I like! My profile is pretty basic. But I like to keep things simple.

I love your stuffs, Lin. I always have. It's so clean.

I appreciate the offer, but it's gonna have to stay like that until have the patience to spare for Gaia again.

Weed.

No, seriously, just do it...

Just start with an idea, sketch it out, research resources (fonts, stock images, colours/palettes, etc), create a plan and make a template, then breakdown the template into the images you need and start coding. At least, that's my process so far...

You just have to go ahead and do it. If you stop to prod people for pointers before you even begin, you'll never start...

Anyway, new concept!

The fonts are Noir et blanc (Numbers in the title), Redheaded Goddess (the "C" in the title), and Trebuchet MS. Thanks La Belle and Lin for helping me look! biggrin

Hmm... Here's my current work in progress for people to see. I think I actually will make this into a profile but something about it bothers me a lot:



The fonts are A Theme For Murder and Microsoft Candara. The cleaver and the rose were taken from Gertrud K. and nikwelleroz's Flickr page, respectively.
