So, I have a billion and one writing projects at the moment, but not really any graphics ones. Guess how I relax from writing and get re-motivated? That's right: graphics. I feel this must be recitified.

So, consider this a:

GRAPHICS REQUEST POST


I will make you pretty much anything, such as:
  • headers
  • wallpapers
  • icons
  • layouts
  • banners
  • covers
  • other pretty object



Basically, this is me asking you to give me things to do ♥

I'm totally taking this as an excuse to ask stupid questions?
Can I use headers without a paid account?
Is it hard to make layouts or is it just a well-kept secret no one's letting me in on? *grin*

Yes, I have no idea of anything regarding LJ. *sigh*

lol, those really aren't stupid questions bb.

You can use a header without a paid account! (If you see things saying you can't, that's from back in the day, before LJ reworked their account levels and such.) You can have a whole custom layout without a paid account ^_^

Layout making - well it's not ~hard~ per say. It depends on a couple things, like how comfortable you are with CSS, how computer-proficient you tend to be, how complicated of a layout are you making, etc. There are excellent tutorials out there that really break down the different layout parts, and tons for CSS, layout specific and general. So over all, I'd say it's more a time investment than anything?

Ha, awesome! I always wanted an awesome header, but I had no idea how to change it? *shakes head*

Oh sounds great. (Which really translates to I will lean back and forget about it right now, sadly)

Still thank you for answering my questions. =)

(I can make you a layout if you like?) Just saying.

And adding a header just requires sticking in a little snippet of code into the Custom CSS box in Customize Layout. What exactly it is depends on the layout you're using and the size of the header :)

I would love you forever, possibly. XD But I wouldn't even know what to ask for for a layout request *rolls eyes at self*

I'd really love a header of White Collar's Neal Caffrey though. *beams*

Date: 2010-06-20 07:02 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] arithilim.livejournal.com
yeah, yeah, it's no problem at all! I will make you layout, bb :D
And I can go free form and base is around said header, but probably the most important things to consider are:

*preferred colors/color scheme
*what do you absolutely DNW or don't like
*preferences on a sidebar vs. topbar, what sidebar pieces do you need, if any

:D

As long as they're pretty, I'll love them, but I would particularly love some stock and/or period drama lesbians.

Layyyyoooooouuuuuutttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have a look at mine, I like it, its simple, pretty, but the buttons are boxey and horrible now i use google chrome, I'd love soemthing pink/grey pretty, feminine, i rarely a header with my default journal now so if you're any good at like adding swirls and interesting little bits to the topbar (id prefer a top bar to a side bar) instead of a header then that'd be good.... =D

Hoping you're able to make this, i really wish i understood codes and could make layouts but its all gibberish to me .. if you cant make it dont worry :)

Date: 2010-06-19 09:46 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] arithilim.livejournal.com
Okay so I love this request? So I will most definitely be taking a stab at it :D I've worked through this really good tutorial on topbars, so pretty sure I should be able to handle it :D

From: [identity profile] throughtherain.livejournal.com
Oooh yay ive been looking for a new layout everywhere but havent found one nice enough, if you look at my journal and [livejournal.com profile] stonepetal which is my community you should get a gist of the thing i like incase you need a bit more info :D

You're awesome for doing this x

From: [identity profile] throughtherain.livejournal.com
sorry to be a pain, just wondered when you would be getting round to this not a problem when you do cos ive changed layouts in most comms for the mo anyways but itd be good to have an idea rather than checking your lj every couple of days hehe :p xx

Date: 2010-06-26 07:30 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] arithilim.livejournal.com
no problem! I understand ^_^

I've started it a little, and I'll probably get a good bit done today and tomorrow. So beginning of next week at the earliest? How about I PM you when it's done?

also, i feel the need to write a merlin fic. i'm feeling sort of devoid of ideas on this front, but if you have any, i'll write it for you! it's the least i can do I'd you're making me icons. =)

oh! and my mix exchange entry is up at my journal. it's crazy long, i'm sorry for that.

From: [identity profile] arithilim.livejournal.com
GOOGLE, HERE I COME. Er, also, if you have favorite pictures or anything, feel free to link :)

You should definitely write Merlin fic. Most definitely. Prompt...Merlin/Arthur, lazy summer days. :D (If that doesn't work for you, I am a prompt /machine/)

Re, mix exchange -> sorry! have commented on that front now!

if you were so inclined and had time, I would love a new FO banner, to sort of match my layout? It can be Merlin related or just something summery or even just a text one. Mine doesn't match my layout anymore and my computer with photoshop is dead dead dead.

:winning smile:

Date: 2010-06-20 05:13 am (UTC)

Oooh, um, yes! I love your layout. It shall be a pleasure to match :D

yay! can i request a cover for one of my fics? i don't even care which one D:

i just love getting covers ♥

From: [identity profile] arithilim.livejournal.com
ooh very fun!

now to choose which one to do... *bites nails* :p

(...I should probably warn...depending on how stressful life is, you may very possibly end up with covers for more than one story...okay, so photoshop is my default procrastination method :p)

Hmm, well now that I'm here I don't really know what to ask for. Okay, so like I said, a Bradley/Colin header to better match my current layout would be really cool. I really love the layout I have now with the alternating colors and everything, but with the current header it's a bit too dark. And since I'm fond of brighter colors, Bradley/Colin seems to be the way to go. There's also an option to stretch the layout to fit my browser which is probably what I'm going to wind up doing in the end, so a longer header like yours would be preferred. Sorry if any of that was a bit incoherent, if you've got any questions have at it. And thank you so much. ♥

Oooh I do like it. Very bright, very pretty. Is there any way I could possibly request a couple more colors in there? Green, yellow, orange or something? I'm in love with green and think it would look pretty good with the header. It's lovely by itself, don't get my wrong! Again, just a bit in love with greens of all colors. If you don't feel like messing with it though it's fine the way it is!

And um, is there any way I could have Bradley as this pic? He just looks so lovely when he laughs. God, I probably should have mentioned this bit before. Again, if it's too much trouble you don't have to! I really do like it. Oh my gosh, I am so sorry for being picky.

Date: 2010-07-18 01:42 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] arithilim.livejournal.com
Hmmm, I will give it a go. I think I might have an idea for green.

And yea, I can swap the pics :)

No worries, I want it to be what you like!

ETA: Something more like this?

Oooh yes, I love that! Question though! For some reason photobucket is being dumb and shrinking the picture down. Would I need an account to post something to tinypic or can I just use the picture in that link?

That's fantastic though! Thanks so much! ♥

feel free to just use the pic! And, no, you don't need an account to upload/use tinypic ;)
