Sky Coloured Oceans (Redesign)

Post by Laura »

Sky Coloured Oceans


So this is my first time coming back to designing fan sites in like... 10 years or something crazy! I've tried a few times in more recent times but this is the first site that I've actually completed 100%. Sailor Moon is really what got me into creating fan sites back in 1997, so I think it's fitting that it's what brought me back into it once again.

I do have plans for future updates to the site. There were a couple sections that I ended up removing in favour of releasing the site earlier, and a few more additions I have to make to existing sections. Otherwise it's fairly complete and there's tons more content than there ever was on the old hiatus version.

I had a lot of fun working on this and I hope you all enjoy it! <3

Oh no this is SO GORGEOUS

You said you were kind of rusty in terms of designing?! If that's rusty!... It looks AMAZING!

So many congratulations on the huge revamp!

Aww!! You're too kind! ^^

I've been working professionally as a UI/UX designer/artist for video games, so I haven't actually done any web site design in a long time... This layout turned out really nicely but others before it (not necessarily for this site either) certainly had me pulling my hair out for a while. But I'm definitely glad you like it, thank you!

Wow, it looks so amazing! I really like the redesign! It fits perfectly on my monitor which makes me so happy since it's so small. I really like the fonts you used. :D

Oh wow, this is absolutely incredible!

The design is breathtaking -- I love how you worked both color and black and white images into the three different layouts. There's so much information, it's absolutely fantastic! I've been a fan of the series since I was a kid (and Haruka has long been my favorite character) and I still learned some new things. You've cleared put a ton of work into this site, and it shows. Absolutely wonderful work!

(Also, seconding Tara - I love that the design fits my screen! I have a pretty small laptop resolution but the layout fills my screen and uses all of it without overflowing. Always a plus.)

Echoing what everyone else has said so far - this layout is amazing! There's so much information in this site and you've organised it all so well. It's so gorgeous, I love this site. :)

This is really lovely, great job on the revamp! I can tell a lot of love went into it, and that really touches me as I'm more of a designer than writer, so designing shrines can be just as important to me as writing them. :) I'm a big fan of multiple headers and I think your style really echoes the work of Takeuchi--airy and light and beautiful!
