The Headers

August 14, 2007

A small prick in my ego can spur me to do things I've given up on, like say, photo editing. If people won't do things I ask of them, it's no skin off my ass to do these things myself. Waiting around has never been my strongest point. I don't think it will be anytime soon.

 

So now ladies and gentlemen, I unveil some blog header images I've been working on after a crash course in photo editing using GIMPshop and a rickety mouse. Crash course, as in last night crash course.

Smudged and dirty and down-to-earth. I'd say my blog is like that. 

 

This is an old photo of mine. It's vulgar and subtle at the same time—also like my blog. 

 

 This one is more girly in a hard sort of way.

 

What do you think? You'll notice that I have a new header up already. It's a photo of a necklace I made for my mom the other day because I'm really sweet like that. I wouldn't mind keeping it, but someone told me the logo doesn't make so much of an impact. We'll see.

I thought you’d place the slipper one.

I’d like an image that will represent this line. But not necessarily the one on top. The feet look too clean. Dapat more putik.

Err… you made that necklace for your mom? And you are really sweet! No one made necklaces for me ever. Not even Gem. :(

Nice headers. The one your using now is good too.

BTW, I was wondering, why is it that in the second picture you have a mole but on the third picture you don’t? Did you add it?

I actually like the one you’re currently using best.

i like the 1st one. basically because of the font that you used and the design in your slippers. :P

and yeah, your current header’s font is too thin.

niko: maybe. or i’ll put them all up!

rhodora, i’ll make you a necklace too. when and how can i give it?

jigs, yeah, the mole thing. i showed the first vector to someone and he said that i missed the mole so i put it there. i forgot to do the same thing to the second one. bah. alright. give me a minute i’ll fix it.

ade: really yay!

mary and dave: i knoes. the tsinelas seems to be winning!

totomaiL i’m just looking for something new. i’m getting tired of this blog’s layout eh.
