Here’s a sneak peek at what the new Omari’s Sister home page will look like.
Here’s a link to a bigger image.
The background images were made in Illustrator and I put everything together in Fireworks. The image is a composite of components I drew in Illustrator and elements I purchased.
I will start making the actual images and coding tomorrow.
As I post this, I realize that I have no where on any of my formal websites to display this stuff. Yeeks, I’ll figure out something by the end of the week. Anyhow, here’s the Haruhi wallpaper. I like this image of her with sheep (mostly because I adore sheep). So I made the image to look like it was cut out of paper. Here’s the original image:
This was tough, because the image quality of the manga magazine was very poor. I had to clean up a lot!
Here are some links to the nether regions of one of my websites. I’ll update this once I get something formal going.
I had to take the image into Fireworks to work with items I imported easier. I purchased a couple doily drawings from iStockPhoto and a floral flourish to complete the look.
I also made a wide screen version for TV, laptops, and wide screen monitors.
Yippee! All of these files will be made available in the goodies section of the Zettai Heiwa Daisakusen on Omari’s Sister Translations.
This is what I’m thinking of doing a quicky home page place holder for Lovely Items. I did this in Adobe Fireworks.
Version 2
Well, I finally did it! I completely re-did my personal website. I used Dreamweaver and all the fancy new tricks I just learned in the class I am taking. I also learned how to use the new Adobe website tool, “Fireworks.” It’s a tool that should be apart of Dreamweaver that can be used to mock up website graphics really fast. Other tools I used were Illustrator for the title graphics and the flowers in the menu bar, Flash to generate the graphics for the menu and to create all of the galleries, and Fireworks for the content graphics. I absolutely LOVE the way it turned out :). I’m so proud of myself. I feel now I can take on any personal or small business advertising website design assignment. Now onto expanding my knowledge of javascript and some server side scripting so I can start putting together more complete solutions. Anyhow, check it out!
