I just spent the last two hours putting together what I had hoped would be jenn.nu’s next layout. I picked out colors, found a nice pattern, figured out how to add a highlighted area in the middle, found a great textured paper on Deviant Art, downloaded two or so dozen grungy fonts, and messed around with textures and brushes to come up with this:
I love it, but it’s way too minimal for my site, no matter how much I may wish otherwise. I like my layouts like I like my purses — big and with plenty of room to spare!
Gah.

I like it! Also, by having a more minimal design it will force you to re-evaluate what you REALLY MUST HAVE, and it also has visitors focus more on the content via all the wee tidbits and such.

I love the color, but I am like you I like it bigger and bolder. I don’t care for the font, but I think on a larger layout it might not look overpowering to me. You’ll come up with something using that as a starting point, you are too good at this not to!
LOL I love the color red!!!! Looks nice!
It looks cute but you definitely have to like it more than anyone else! I hope that you find something else that you like, hun! If anything, at least you got some more experience messing around with graphics and some web design, at least?

Thanks for the input guys! I’m going with some drastically different though. ;)
It’s pretty (I’m a sucker for red) but I absolutely adore this other layout you chose for the site.
Hi, I’m Carli. I read your site often so I though it was about time I came out of the woodwork to say hello, haha.
