[tcc] 08. Wake Up (Blogger Main)

nobody@blogskins.com () — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 02:57:55 -0500

Give me a dance floor,
Give me a DJ
Play me a record
Forget what they say
'Cause I need to go,
Need to get away
Tonight

Inspired by Hilary Duff's Wake Up. Here's a navigation skin with an image. I have lost the source of the image, so if anybody knows, please do not hesitate to comment.

A whole variety of colours used to brighten up your day! There's grey, white, black, blue, yellow, green and pink.

BEST VIEWED IN FIREFOX.

It looks a little odd in Internet Explorer. I hope you like it! Constructive comments appreciated!

[tcc] 07. March On (Blogger Main)

Like soldiers, march on
If we can make it through the night,
We'll see the Sun.
March on, march on.

Inspired by Good Charlotte's March On. Although the skin was created in Mozilla Firefox, I personally think it looks better in Internet Explorer hehe. I experimented and played around with colours. Main colours used are grey (both dark and light), orange, pink, blue, yellow and also green.

Overall the skin is pretty simple but I do hope that the colours I selected (and kicked a big fuss over :/) brightened it up!

Constructive comments appreciated!

I'm coming home again
Do you think about me now and then?

Maybe we could start again

This skin features a picture of Kanye West in his "Homecoming" video, which is currently a song I am in love in. It's the same song which inspired me to do this skin. Main colours of this skin are black, grey, white and yellow! It's a very simple skin (and I will be working on such skins until I personally think I can do something more complex with more confidence), in which post area is really small.

BEST VIEWED IN MOZILLA FIREFOX.

In IE there seems to be some problem regarding the post area etc..

I have plans for the next skin already, which will be more interesting than this one! Constructive comments appreciated!

Do you think I should try out at the "BIDOL COMPETITION" held by velvet-sky? First of all I like Kanye West, but unfortunately he is not really my number one. And uhm I don't think there's a lot of emotions expressed in this skin, so I don't really think I should participate.

Brushes credits will be updated asap.

[tcc] 05. Mockingbird (Blogger Main)

Hush, now, baby, don't you cry
Everything's gonna be alright

This skin is probably my first image based skin! Well, the first one involved icons, so they weren't really images. Anyway, I used some brushes which source I do not know. If you know, please inform me! I will credit the source immediately.

(Reason why I do not produce a lot of image based skins is because, well, I cannot find the perfect picture and I weren't good at resizing them. I'm pretty happy with this picture though. It was beautiful)

The main colours used are blue, white and grey. It's supposed to be SIMPLE, so yep. I think this skin is missing something so please give me constructive comments so that I can improve on my next image based skin! (:

Codes might not be as neat as my other skins are because it's been some time since I last skinned (school :/) and I was in a rush. Sorry for that, I promise the next skin will be better!

Brushes credits will be updated asap.

[tcc] 04. Starlight (Blogger Main)

nobody@blogskins.com () — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 00:34:32 -0500

Inspired by Muse's Starlight, which reminds me of a light shade of pink and yellow in pitch black. I am attempting a new style in this blogskin, since I haven't come across such a style. Bad thing about this - IT'S NOT NICE IN INTERNET EXPLORER.

BEST VIEWED IN MOZILLA FIREFOX.

And I mean it because in Internet Explorer it looks very ":/" . The codes aren't screwed in IE, they're just not as nice.

I used different fonts, as compared to my previous three skins, in this skin. And yay, I created the codes all by my own!

This is supposed to be a simple skin, it's supposed to be plain. So the theme is simplicity.

Constructive comments appreciated!

[tcc] 03. Girlfriend (Blogger Main)

nobody@blogskins.com () — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 22:20:16 -0500

The skin is made in submission for the No-Name-But-Really-Cool BS Competition, in which beautiful banner you'll get to see below.

The colours used are mainly black, hot pink, pink and grey. I am pretty proud of myself for I actually coded it all by myself, without any basecodes! Although I have several references - for example, my own blog.

Only after coding this skin and being self-satisfied with it, I let my friend Russell see it and he'd give me his own opinion. He told me it looked like bikiniboy's skin here.

Thanks for your opinions (and the screenshot!), Russell!

I looked and freaked out on how much they look alike. Thus I have changed the fonts for the navigations. I did not refer to her codes/skin whatsoever.

You may find that some of the codes used in this skin are pretty similar to the skins I submitted previously, but that's only because I like how they look like, so coded them the same. However, I repeat, I did not take any basecodes whatsoever.

This skin might seem very effortless, but I spent quite some time trying to make the alignments perfect, make the colours blend in together, and make sure the fonts fit. I don't know what you think, but I'm pretty content that I can come up with a skin all by my own now. I promise I'll try again for the next skin!

Avril Lavigne's Girlfriend, by the way. Constructive comments appreciated!

[tcc] 02. Me and You (Blogger Main)

nobody@blogskins.com () — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 01:07:18 -0500

We're the new face of failure
Prettier and younger, but not any better off
Bulletproof loneliness, at best, at best
Me and you
Setting in a honeymoon
If I woke up next to you, if I woke up next to you
-Fall Out Boy, I'm Like A Lawyer with the Way I'm Trying to Get You Off (Me + You)

Inspired by Kanye West's concert tour, Glow in the Dark Tour. "Glow in the Dark" reminds me of green in black, thus a skin with such colours. Only black, white and green are used in this simple skin.

Constructive comments appreciated!

Yes, I do love Fall Out Boy (:

[tcc] 01. Hum Hallelujah (Blogger Main)

nobody@blogskins.com () — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 05:00:49 -0500

So hum Hallelujah
Just off the key of reason
I thought I loved you
And it's just how you looked in the light
A teenage vow in a parking lot
Till tonight do us part
I sing the blues and swallow them too.
-Fall Out Boy, Hum Hallelujah

This skin is a simple skin, in which I mainly used the colours black and white, but used other colours to brighten up the skin. If you don't like the icons, you can always change them yourself.

BEST VIEWED IN MOZILLA FIREFOX.

Although the codes are not screwed in Internet Explorer, I think the skin still looks best in Mozilla Firefox. (They actually look way different!)

Constructive comments appreciated!

[I thank Russell for being my motivation, spurring me on to complete the skin, and bringing back my best friend, Inspiration, and driving away the devil Laziness]
