Site Remodel Nu 2

Hello, I've decided to do some design stuff on the site and mobile site because I know how to computer and I'm a little bored of this one. Um I didn't actually do anything last time I said this so you may not believe me, but it is the case. I will be keeping the general color scheme in tact, but new things on the banner. Everything on the side bar getting redone or removed. Probably also revisit the various pages and decide if I still even want those. At the very least the top left of the site name up there has been bothering me. I can't believe I didn't notice that swoosh was so shaky until I started doing the wallpapers.

So, this is the teaser/warning. Expect things to randomly come and go from the sidebar in the next week or so as I mess with it until I post another announcement.

Also I like silhouettes. They look like they aren't any work but I think I spend more time on them than I do other things. Since it's like that I don't do them often. I mean they're extra work and look lazy. Clearly a terrible choice.

?About?

I have decided to add an About Page to the sidebar Just finished up this pic. The page will be up in a moment.

This should alleviate some of my "But why a chicken blog?" comments and possibly turn them into "Oh dang. Best site ever" comments. I mean the second probably not, but the first yeah. Anyways it's basically a remake of the about post I did a while back. Even used the same pic.

Also 3 posts in a day... I think I'm back baby!

Banner #3

Ah yes. Another new Banner. It's been a while. It's still purple since I'm a bit too lazy to actually go through and change the skin. It's just changing from dark purple to lilac. Which is, I suppose a bit of a girly color, but I don't care. I wanted to the site to be brighter looking. I'm not sure if I like it or not. Give me some opinions on it.

Also you may have noticed my claim that the site is "The Original MS Paint Blog!" As far as I know this is true and it certainly sounds good. If you can identify one older than me I'd love to see it. Until someone does though I maintain my claim o being the original MS Paint Blog.(It is still about passion but I can't be having a bunch of taglines)

Edit: Needed a couple rounds of minor editing

Challenge Image

Well, I'm gonna continue accepting challenges until I'm not so there is now a link to it on the sidebar there. As always I'm posting it up here in case I ever change it. It'd be a shame to love a perfectly good chicken.

He has a strong determined look in his eyes, as is appropriate for a  brave challenger. It's not like we're gonna get in a fight but err... I'm willing to accept that sort of more direct challenge too but- Anyways, new chicken.

Project Page Header

I decided that my project page could use a bit of sprucing up so I thought a bit and decided it needed some sort of banner or header or soemthing. It needed at least one picture on it at any rate. So here it is:

It's got a general-use chicken on the left because that's what I do on this site, a chicken foot on the far right because I'm not very good at those and decided I needed to practice, though I probably shouldn't have done that on a semi-permanent thing... A chicken in flight in the middle because it seemed exciting. A generic version of Shades McCoolGuy is on the Bottom right for character. The background is a silver tipped wing because it came to me and the thing looked rather empty. Faded look was kinda hard to get right but I think I got it right..

Not A New Banner

Well, I was messing around, thinking maybe I should change my banner. I mean I've had this one for a while. So I thought up a design and tossed it together. After a bit of "Eh... maybe"-ing I decided it wasn't good to go so I stamped the word alternate on the corner and decided to show you folks. Like I said though, I decided against it in the end. Probably because its too empty.

Comments

Well, I've decided to use this new comments link, replacing the old one. Anyways I went with hearts to demonstrate the show of love for my site. I initially started with the same saying smiley faces that I had in the old one but it didn't quite have the right style.  It didn't fit with the rest of the image, and the image had to match with the project link after all. The hearts looked much better if you ask me.


 Also the font is Jasmine. It took me a good 15 minutes to find the font.

New Banner

 This is just the new banner. I figured I ought to post it here along with the other graphics I've made for this new set of decorations. I mean I wouldn't want to just go off and throw out perfectly good chickens come the next time I decide I'm bored of the way the site looks. I mean I posted the last one back whenever I did it so why not.

Now, on to the my nice old fashion over analysis of it. The 'Chicken Maker' on top shows a heavy dissonance from the rather subdued style of the banner. The overlapping "It's about Passion!" statements show that it's about passion, if you understand. It also shows the contrasting natures that Passion can still be used while taking it in a different direction, contrasting the black and white and both of those from the freehand title. The chicken and it's white outline shadow are there mostly to show what the site is about while still keeping in tune with the rather muted purple style The fade-out on the bottom allows it to maintain the flow between it and the rest of the world without creating artificial boundaries

And lastly if you would like to say anything about the current site design please do.

New Banner

I made a new banner for the top of this site.  Just tossed a few different styles on there and hoped it'd look alright. came out pretty well.
