And this one will
stay! xD
The previous one stayed for only 3 days, but as I was building it I knew it wouldn't stay for long, I just wanted to change it quickly, and also learn how to work with S2.
I finally figured out the wonders of what S2 and CSS can do together, it's amazing and much more flexible to work with them, I wish I had changed it earlier (but even if I wanted I wouldn't have the time).
Another good thing of working with this new design architecture is that I don't have to worry about making wallpapers anymore (it was too much space to fill, honestly xD). Working with banners opens whole new design possibilities and I'm already having different and challenging ideas for my future layouts.
I chose this Tsubasa picture basically because of two reasons. The first reason is that I really like this illustration, I intended to use the Syaoran from this picture on my
confessions on a dance floor Tsubasa layout xD But as I know I ended up not using it. The other reason is that this was the first Tsubasa illustration released to the public right after the series was announced, and since we are reaching the end of it after these 5 long years, there's this nostalgic feeling around it.
Despite of being the very first Tsubasa illustration released to the public, it's amazing how the art style hasn't changed at all. If you look at the early illustrations of CCS or Rayearth, for example, and compare them to latter ones, you'll notice significants improvements in CLAMP's art. That doesn't seem to be the case here.
I know there isn't anything extraordinary in this layout, but again, due to time issues I wasn't able to do anything extraordinary xD I promise, though, that I will push the edge further on my next layout.
The layout is not the only news today, from this day on I'm launching a new feature that I have developed, the
CLAMP Widget, or whatever you would like to call it xD
This little flash application is placed on a fixed post on my livejournal and it shows the upcoming CLAMP releases (merchandises, events, media appearances etc) and the manga schedule for their current series, as a quick way of checking what's coming next from CLAMP. The design was
strongly based on CLAMP-NET.COM's current design, as you could possibly have noticed.
You can also incorporate it into your own blog, website or anywhere else you might want to add it, and the information on it will be automatically updated from whenever you have placed it.
So browse around, welcome to this new chapter of my livejournal, always aiming to keep you up-to-date about CLAMP and their activities.
