Version One featured my ships. I really liked the blend and colour effect on this, it’s probably the best blend I’ve ever made. I also really liked that it was so personal with the ships that I support but the blend was too big and it didn’t work with the merged collective and personal site very well. Therefore I changed to version five.
Version Two featured Dean Cain and Teri Hatcher. I liked this layout because it was simple and underneath the simplicity was some complex coding. Coding I was pleased to have mastered but new skills are always waiting to be learnt so I changed the layout to a liquid layout.
Version Three featured Hugh Laurie. I liked this layout because it was my first attempt at a liquid layout. However, the colours were too bright for my taste and besides I’d been wanting to try at making a layout using my own photographs for a while so I did.

Version One featured Anthony LaPaglia and Poppy Montgomery. The layout was pretty basic and boring and not very inspiring. Also the blend wasn’t very good and well I soon changed the design.
Version Two featured the same blend as version one. I was just attempting to make it more artistic but it didn’t really work very well and this layout was up for maybe a week before I replaced it with version three.
Version Three featured Alison Mack. This is probably the best layout I’ve ever made. It’s simple, it’s different and I loved it. Unfortunately all good things must come to an end and when I wanted to merge this site with my collective I changed the layout.
Holes and Chains
Version One featured Jill Hennessy. The layout was heavily based on somebody else’s collective as when I made this layout I was only just discovering how to drive photoshop and didn’t really understand design. Hence why it soon changed it.
Version Two featured David Boreanaz. I was really pleased with the blend that made the focal image on this one but the navigation was a different story. I was never satisfied with having the links one place and the description of the sites somewhere else. Therefore when my exams finished I created version three which doesn’t have that problem.
Version Three featured Wolverine, my favourite character from X-men. I like the navigation better on this layout than on the last one but I’ve never been a fan of dark layouts so once I got the chance I changed the layout to version four.
Version Four featured the Without a Trace cast, one of my favourite shows. I liked this layout ok, it did everything I wanted it too. However, when I merged my personal site with my collective I had to change the layout.
