About Me:

ME
wow, so you want to get to know vanessa alittle better? cool. hello there. i'm vanessa, a 17 year old singaporean straits born chinese, now waiting for her private candidate o'level results, and enjoying life as it is now.

graphica
i LOVE web design, and i've been doing it for the past 3 years already. i'm not new at blogskins, i come here every single day to look at skins and comment, but i never really got down to submitting my own(which have been collecting dust in my disk drive.). so now i'm going to start unleashing them, one by one. if you like them say so, if you don't like them, then just ignore me and my skins. i could do without your negativities. go dump them on someone else's shoulders. :) i'm very hard to piss off, so even if you try, i'll laugh in your face(just like i did to someone called suetz_1993).

my skins
you must be wondering how i make my skins. well, i use my favourite image program, adobe photoshop 7.0. YES, i WANT the CS one, but for now 7.0 will have to do. other than that, i learn all these graphic stuff from tutorial websites, and i get inspiration from the things, people and anything around me, even my emotions. sometimes i even like to bring my digi cam out with me and snap pictures, so i can go home and look at them for inspiration. there are no boundaries to things like that.
looking out for my skins is easy. just look layouts ending with "- v". or to prevent people from copying this sign off, just type "cloudwithsilverlining" into the Search Skins box, and all my skins will be displayed there, for the TAKING.muahahaha.

hmmm... what else? oh yeah. all of my skins are best viewed on 1024 x 768, and in IE2 or internet explorer. i don't know what happens if you view them in other browsers/resolutions, and i don't CARE frankly. don't come on with a bitchfit about why my skins aren't suitable for everyone. i can't please everyone, only the majority. so if i can't please you, then so be it. -smiles sweetly-

beyond blogskins
i've got my own site, where the layouts you see there, of course, belong to me. if you want to see it, email me and i'll give you the url :)
i'm also aiming for a course in interactive media design, at temasek poly, and i have a place reserved for me already. all i need now are my o'level results. -shudder-

rules rule
last of all, PLEASE don't steal or copy my skins. if you download them, keep my link on. the images of each skin have already been hosted for free for you, so all you gotta do is just put it up and edit the content. thats so easy, even the idiot who lives next door to me knows how to do, so don't make a fool of yourself. i can't guarantee the images will always be there. sometimes servers like to fuck things up. so keep backup copies of the images, and even backup html so you don't pull your hair out if they decide to pull a magic disappearing act on you.

and also, DON'T copy my skins and say they're yours. i'm online everyday for a VERY long time, and if i see my skins without a credit, you're gonna get it from me. i have freak loads of time, and revenge is a dish best served cold.
even online.
(hint? well the dish is a nice letter, inviting you to a court case. yes, i will sue, because removing my link equals copyright infringments. and i can gather evidence before you can put up your hands and say "it wasn't me!".)

femme fatele
people out there must be surprised that i submit so many skins a day, and some might be thinking "did she rip all these off?". the answer is NO. for one, i HATE rip offs, and those who use just boxes, too many colours, moving words and just a simple image you lift off from say, gettyimages without even removing the watermark. or worse, you don't credit the people you're supposed to credit. it shows what kind of a slip-shot person you are, and its definitely not going to be good if people find out who you are. there must be effort put into every skin, thats for sure.

final words
i'll stop being so whiny. go on and download whichever you like, edit your content and don't touch anything else, and you'll be just fine. and check back soon! i put up new ones very regularly. thats a promise :D

cheers!
