Request a Layout

Comment in this entry if you want to make a request and leave your e-mail address. You can screen your comment if you wish.

Especify what you want telling me the colors and pics you want me to use for the header (also say if you want me to make a matching default icon and a friends only banner). The more information you can provide, the better. Tell me if you want tiny icons for lj user, community, locked posts, current mood, music, location, tags, sidebar links or anything else.

You can provide the especific hex codes of the colors you want for the background (or a pattern), entries and links (and hover over links), if you have them. You can go to ColorSchemer to find a huge amount of pre-made color schemes. Telling me colors can make easier for me to make a header that matches, but you don't need to be so especific if you don't have a mind on something. At least tell me something like 'I like dark blue and light pink'.

Providing especific pics for the header helps a LOT. It makes my job faster if I don't have to hunt for pics. If you don't provide pics, not only I'll take some time looking for them, but I'll also need to provide some range of options, send them over to you for choosing to only start working with them after you respond and approve. If you don't like them I'll have to look more and so on. It can take days only in that proccess. After I finish the header I'll send it over for your comments on it. You can tell me if you like it or if it sucks and I should start over. I work with Photoshop CS2 and it allows lots of changes to be made in the final product because it uses a ton of different layers, so if you have a comment like 'Position that two pixels to the left, remove the scratches and I don't like all that red' don't be afraid to make it. I'll start working on the layout after I finish the header and any other artworks you requested.

Don't be afraid to e-mail me back to ask why I'm taking so long. RL can be hard sometimes, so I can get caught up in other stuff and have no time to play with CSS and Photoshop, but when I receive a request I try to return it as fast as possible. If I have free time I'll use to finish it all in a couple of days.

Don't forget to credit me and any other sources I used to make your layout on your profile and/or blurb box proving a link back to this journal and to the websites of other sources. I'll send a credits comment along with the finished layout.
