Amassment Message Board

@Cherri cool! I'm curious to see how it will go :)

This is cheesy but my sister Samantha really influenced me to start webdesign. I used to watch her play video games and watch anime and I fell in love with the games and shows as well. Over time of watching her create small sites to Kari from Digimon, etc, I knew I wanted to join in and that is definitely what got me started. The bonding time between the two of us also pushed it along. Now a days I find myself motivated by sites that have a lot of media. I feel like media sections make me interested, and lots of pictures on information sites. xD

So many sites that have influenced me and old and gone, haha. The biggest one was a domain called aftershock.org I think? It had a bunch of Zelda shrines, including one to Link called Fairy Boy. I admired that collective so much. Another site that inspired me was DoubleNegative, which I'm happy to see is still alive. It's remained a thorough and creative shrine and one I consider to be a model fansite. And I'll always remember finding Alex and Aeryvae's domains back in the day and being completely wowed by their designs (and I still am!), which inspired me to be creative with my own shrine layouts and content.

Michelle: I always thought that your designs had something in them that is also in Alex's designs, so this explains it! It's a good thing when inspiration sources show through, it means that you've caught the "spirit" of what appeals so much to you and adapted it to your own style. (If I am making any sense?)

Aww cool . I really like the way Alex uses geometric shapes and sharpens/pixelates images kinda, so I've tried that out in my own designs.
