Amassment Message Board

When Kula and I worked on our Ranka/Alto shrines, we both read one another's shrines before putting them online! (I believe we also frequently read each other's essays as we got them done because we worked on the shrines online... or at least, I know I read hers while she was working on it. XD) That...

How do you come up with the names for your shrines? When I'm shrining, most of the time I have a "focus" for what kind of message I want to drive home with a subject. Therefore, I usually think about the central theme I'm focusing on in my shrine, because alongside describing the shrine i...

OMG ELYSA THIS IS SO PRETTY I'M SO HAPPY1!1!!1 YESS!!!11 Overexcitement aside, something about this layout is really nostalgic to me! I think it's the glowing text (feels like a throwback to stuff I'd seen on shrines long ago, but it's handled so elegantly!) and the dreaminess of it all just makes i...

Take my advice with several grains of salt, though, because generally speaking, I don't consciously take note of typography, alignment of texts, or even font type or color much on a website. I definitely notice when the selections of such make the content hard to read, as mentioned above, but if it...

Weirdly enough I've been working on some left-aligned designs lately for text heavier sites (more on why, below, I guess), but in the past I've always used justified text for purely aesthetic reasons. Sometimes, left-aligning even the most appropriately sized text areas will make for a really weird ...

Welcome to Amassment, Sara! So happy to see a new face (and fellow pokemon fan <3). Looking forward to seeing you around. :3

HEY I'M LATE BUT I REGRET NOTHING CUZ LIKE... Wow! I really, really enjoyed this shrine Robin! Honestly, I think that a shrine to Jessie & James has every opportunity to be tacky or even a bit cringy given their characters, but this was never that. You took your subject super seriously despite t...

Wow, I'm really interested in checking out Brackets! :O< Tbh I'm pretty comfortable using Sublime Text, but I'm kinda curious about this live preview feature because I'm the kind of person who will design in browser and refresh stuff constantly to make sure my changes look good while I'm coding, hah...

My brother and I chose Mystic together! When I asked him what team we should join (we wanted to be on the same team so we could take gyms together), he said we should go with "Blue" because Pokemon Blue was our first Pokemon game! :yay: So yeah, it really had nothing to do with Articuno, B...
