[ the ]Layout \\ {|d e s i g n + s c h e m e s
Provided here is a summary of the past layout schemes of INN. I've tried to make original and inventive layout but it's very difficult when Sailormoon site have had so many different one. Earlier layouts have been lost (mostly because I can't fully remember what they look like) but I've tried to explain what I can remember. The latter layouts usually follow a theme.
The current layout is:
V. 24 Mirage , JUNE 2008

V. 23 - Shining Snow , AUGUST 2007
I wanted to take a break from the anime and do something with manga. So I thought: what's the next attack in the series? And boom: You've got Shining Snow. This was the first layout where I focused more on the colors and background than the main image; it was a lot simpler than I've done before. I love the contrast of the colors and the overall linear layout theme. Things went awary cuz I didn't code it well but ... oh well! | |
|
V. 22 Illusion , APRIL 2007
The next in my attack-based layout is the "Shine Aqua Illusion" one. I really wanted to mimic the style of the V. 21 without completely reusing the layout. I tried to stay away from blue and focused more on light, pastel colors for that "illusion" effect. I was very pleased with the movement of the main image and colors; it had a great effect! This is opinion of an inventive take on a mundane picture. | |

V. 21 SHABON SPRAY , DECEMBER 2006
Now starts my "ataques" themed layouts. This first one is a take on SMercury's 'Shabon Spray.' I chose a different picture than the one of her actually holding the bubbles in her hand; I wanted to show the more manga-like side of this attack/defense. I really loved how this turned out. The navigation was nice and the color came out looking much better than I could've imagined! Pictures are courteousy of the oracle. |

V. 20 Cold-Hearted [W]itch , AUGUST 2006
I had to make a new Viluy layout; the other one was just ... just embarrassing! I tried to do something completely different from what I've done before and used a style different from the other villanous layouts. I used suggestive pictures of Ami caught in "Mosaic Buster," Viluy's wrist and her backside but not her face; it was very cold and mysterious. I love it! I used frames (been a long time), textures, and had the navigation on the side. Pictures are courteousy of the oracle and Gallery of Moonlight. | |

V. 19 Don't Mess Wit' My Man , APRIL 2005
This layout, featured both Zoycite and Urawa Ryo (Greg) from the "Classic" series. This layout was the third in the SMercury-related villians layout series. This was a quickie, I must tell ya. I didn't want to do anything big and long during the summer, so I just threw this one together (literally) and put it up. It's not too bad, but nothing special. Pretty bland if you think about it. I planned to redo this one soon. Pictures are courteousy of the oracle. | |

V. 18 What Lies Beyond the Mirror , FEB 2006
"What Lies Beyond the Mirror" featured the flamboyant and spunky Fisheye from the SuperS series, the third in my SMerc villian layout scheme. I got the title from the file "What Lies Beneath."This layout took some time to grow on me. First, I just wanted to do something complex and cool looking; but I'm not at all that good. So then I came up with this "trapped" double-vision look that took some time to get used to. I really like how I have Ami looking happy with the "fish" Fisheye then looking trapped with the "real" Fisheye; it really fit the theme. Pictures are courteousy of the oracle and Gallery of Moonlight. | |

V. 17 'Cuz I'm the Baddest [W]itch , DEC 2005
This layout, "I'm the Baddest [W]itch," featured the lovely level 202 witch, Viluy a.k.a Bidou Yui. This layout was the second in the SMercury-related villians layout series. I didn't like how this one turned out. Seem I wanted it to look like V was winning against SMerc (since she does), but it just turned out tacky. I planned to redo this one l8r - possibly - when I have no more ideas to draw on. Pictures are courteousy of the oracle and Gallery of Moonlight. | |

V. 16 Just Breathe ... , OCTOBER 2005
This layout featured Berthier / Beruche from the Sailormoon R season / Black Moon Arc. Berthier was the first of Ami-related villians that were featured in past layouts. It was a bit difficult to find good pictures of Berthier and SMercury in pain; I wanted to show her weaknesses and the evilness of her enemies. It's by far, the most original of my past layouts, using good scans from the oracle and quotes from The Manga of Takeuchi Naoko. Gotta love Dark water! |

V. 15 Five-Year Anniversary , AUGUST 2005
This was my first celebration-themed layout to honor Inn's 5-years online! Woo! It's a variation one of my first layouts from the "early days." I really liked the way this turned out! It has everything that I wanted in it. It was hard to cut out the picture and make it blend so effortlessly to the background, but it was worth it. I really wanted to make something to make this special occasion, so I worked on this for so many weeks before its opening on 8/1/05. You can view this layout at the 5-Year Anniversary Page with info. | |

V. 14 [REBIRTH] , JUNE 2005
A temporary layout for 2005. I loved the picture I used, but I didn't like the way this one turned out. I was very similar to V. 13, same width and height, same pop-up page, even the same dimension for the main screen! I only added the bottom buttoms and the outlined design to make it a little different. There wasn't anything special about this except that it was the first "new" layout after about a year of unofficial hiatus. | |

V. 13 A New Year of Innocence , JANUARY 2004
I never-really liked this layout as much as I should've. I featured the "new" SMercury from the Japan TV Series Pretty Guardian Sailormoon, the new live-action show. I liked the why Hama Chisaki played Mercury so I wanted to feature her on a new layout. This picture had three other matching one - you know, in different poses, but I liked this one. I wanted to have something wintery-like but without the christmas stuff so I made a snow-like background. But, that made the site look childish and stupid. I did like my surrounding link buttons - the text on them was awesome. All in all, it was a rushed effort layout, nothing special. | |

V. 12 Back to School , AUGUST 2003
This is one of my favorites. I found this picture, I think it's a new drawing by Takeuchi Naoko, at some site (can't remember where). I had Ami carrying books in an autumn surrounding with the falling leaves and everything. I wanted to use the whole image so I just made an i-frame in the middle with a sidewayz pic of Ami's waist as the background. It actually looked kinda good. This was when I started my whole "frameless," DHTML layouts. After I made this *wonderful* layout, I just stopped updating. Too much, school/work. Regardless, I don't think I've ever thought of going back 2 school in such a good light ^_^ | |

V. 11 Watermark , JUNE 2003
This is my all-time favorite layout to date! I know it may not seem like much, but it really means something to me; it was the first time I really liked my own work. "Innocence" featured an anime SMercury in Super uniform with a luminated, blended profile from her a Stars picture in the background. I really liked the color scheme I used and the stripes/lines on the main page background. I really felt this layout showed the beauty and grace of Mercury, with the blowing hair and the poses. I absolutely loved it then, and I absolutely love it now! |

V. 10 Happy Valentine's Day! , FEBRUARY 2003
A very cute and nonconformist layout, it featured the live-action SMercury from the
Eien Densetsu musical from 1998. I really liked how I went away from the crowd
and used a red theme; many people complimented me on my creativity and originality.
I forget how it was set-up exactly, but this should give you a general idea
V. 09 Double Dreams , JANUARY 2003
My third frame layout for this site (after the ones I don't know a lot about). Sorry that the middle frame is from layout 10 because I forgot to take this screencap before I changed the layout. This layout used a picture from the Stars season where Sailor Mercury talks to herself about her dreams. It's really freaky so I decided to use it. It was a frame layout with CSS and an image map. Navigation was below and very light. Many people liked this - someone even called it beautiful ^_^.
V. 08 Happy Holidays! , DECEMBER 2002
My very first holiday-themed layout! I uses a nice fan art picture - that I found somewhere - with a little editing by myself. I had two pages for this: one a popup and the other a table layout; they both included iframes, though. The links were above the long iframe. I put a little greeting on the top of the picture for all my guests.
v. 07 Originality , SPRING 2002
It took me awhile to update this site, and the first thing I did was make a new layout. The iframe was surrounded by a curved box with Ami's picture, to the left, cutting it open. The navigational words were next to her and "innocence" was written above the box.
V. 06 - 01 I'm sorry, but I do not remember that much before layout 7.
