On this page I have archived my old layouts for Gala Reliquary. I plan on adding old layouts for other sites when I change them. I try to keep a small piece of every layout I do now, it's good to reminise. All layouts are made by me. I love my layouts (or I would deny they ever existed and not of put them up) each one has faults and good qualities. So respect them and don't try to steal them. (I don't care if you steal pieces of code off the view source page (that's how I learned half of the HTML I know) but don't steal images that I edited or whole chunks of page.)

My first archived layout is *-*life unlived*-*. Featuring Ed from Cowboy Bebop. I chose Ed to represent me, because I think I'm more like Ed than any of the other characters, she's hyper, laid back, and just insane. To the right were the "photos" of my friends. It was a scrapbook style layout. It used an inline frame in the very center where all of the pages were viewed (which evidently was around 600x800 cause it took up a whole 600x800 resolution). There were only four other pages beside the home at the time so I used "marbles" as page buttons. The "A" was about, the "S" was sites, the "F" was friends, and the "M" was misc. I choose pink because it was my favorite color and at the time I was completely obsessed with it. They layout was supposed to have an oceon look to it. You can probably see my unexperiance in designing images for layouts at the time showing through very badly.

My Love Hina had a better feel than *-*life unlived*-*. It had a more gentle and caring feel. The two on the bottom are Kiearto and Naro from the anime / manga series, "Love Hina". I scanned the image from the fourth manga book and edited in Jasc Paint Shop Pro 8. The biggest flaw on this layout I think was there was an exposed background under the image cause I didn't take out cell padding or a margin or something. The site was navigated by small text links on the home page. This site was much more 600x800 friendly but still had some bottom scroll. (people with 600x800 need to fix that! XDDDD). I ended this layout with around 210 hits.
