It's been ages since I've made any layouts, so I started by editing an old one (which was the one I was currently using). I gave it a Scream header because, why not? Haha! Truth is, I started this one year ago and never finished it. So today I finally found some time and inspiration and finally, here it is. I hope to make more things soon, although I don't think that will happen. So sad.

Hi! So I still want to take up a course on coding because I feel my skills are totally rusty as of now. But, I'm craving coding lately, maybe a DW layout or two. So if you have any requests on a layout you would like to see, I'm open for them :D.
If there's anyone out there still reading, because this feels like a wasteland! Which reminds me of SS501's song named Wasteland.

I'm digressing. I'm using an old layout of mine because I wanted a change but didn't know what to make for myself. So I'll explore on what I like lately and maybe start making my own design first. Please tell me if you have any ideas for new layouts! I might even reopen my old layout community... we'll see...

Edit: Since I was requested to share the layout, you can find it here!.
I was quite bored yesterday, so I gave my journal a different look. It features Alice from Please Save my Earth. How fitting is that? Even though it's already Spring, I don't seem to get out of my Autumn mode haha. Oh well.

Spain is having a rough time with the virus. We are super confined and it's been a bit tough to just get out and buy groceries. It's been almost 3 weeks since I last saw Aaron... I don't know how much I'll be able to wait, honestly. Rumour has it we are going to have this bad situation unhandled until SUMMER. This year couldn't be worse.

2020 is cursed. At least to me. So much crap happens and I can do next to nothing about it.

I made this Mobility layout the other day to unrust my skills a little bit. Today I decided I had to let go of my "Break it down again" header (will reuse it sometime again hahaha I love it), so I made another eerie Roland orzabal header to dress my journal. And here it is!

After my last entry, old layout archive, I found new inspiration! I created some schemes of what I want to make! It's a special kind of layout so I don't know how it will come out, but some RP journals and people who want to do something special to their page, may find it useful!

I also need to finish a layout I'm making for [personal profile] sexycazzy! It's great practice to help others out :D

As mentioned in this entry, I'm posting here a small archive of old and cringey layouts I still have the previews of! Most of them were Livejournal S1, with some of my first S2 incursions.
The dates in the screencaps are of the time when I created the test entries so they don't reflect when they were made!!

Anyway, my goal with this is to show my improvement if we compare THIS to my current work over at [community profile] inconformista. Mind you: these were obscure and cringey as hell times. You are warned!!

Since 2009, which is when I opened up [community profile] inconformista, I've made more than 20 layouts. This may not seem like a lot, but for a hobby and for something I make to share with everyone for free, it is!

Looking back at my past works, I've evolved a lot. My first Dreamwidth layout was a bit wonky, but it started everything and I loved it. I took it down because the coding was a bit meh and I wasn't fond of it anymore. I also took down some other layouts as well because they were also outdated.

I even submitted one style to Dreamwidth as official: Ciel. It's been such a long and tortuous ride! I also stopped creating altogether for a while at various points so that's why there aren't more layouts... But all in all, I think that I've done a pretty decent job in 10 years and have learnt a lot.

Oh my, how time goes by. Someday I'll post my OLD layouts (the ones I started making at livejournal lol) for you to laugh at. I love to see how much I've improved, honestly. This is the hobby I've had since I was a teenager and I love it.

As much as I love Tobias Forge, I need a new design for my network (fanlistings and shrines collective). But I don't know who it should feature!

The design and man in question. My kryptonite. The genius behind Ghost. The guy who sports black gloves with golden nails to the Grammys. My favourite singer.

The obvious answer would be Roland Orzabal. From obsession to obsession. HAHAHA. But I don't know. What should I do?
TALKING OF WHICH, have you seen the incredibly beautiful icon I'm WEARING TO-DAY?! hahaha. I wish I could use all of the amazing icons that [personal profile] alwaysbeenasmiler makes for me at once. But I can't. Oh Roland ♥ That face should be declared art and a treasure. I don't know what I'm saying anymore. But it's a fact.

I also need more time to work on my shrines and fanlistings D: I also have some cliques in the works! AH and, by the way, you should join SHEROES if you still haven't!

Sometimes I run out of ideas or whatever I'm making decides to not work out as I planned. But today I got some inspiration and got an idea that could work! This is a sneak a peek of the work in progress.


I used to always disable titles and subtitles. Now I like working with them as inspiration!
I'm very busy lately, so I don't make much for Dreamwidth *sad*. I need to finish the course I'm taking. And I hope it will be worth something! I don't know if I'll get a job, but at the very least I expect to finish it and feel happy with how it goes.

Aah~ I don't have much time to do anything lately. I wish at least I got paid for it lol.
