Woo. I had to pull an all-nighter, so I decided to work on my layout. I was inspired a bit by a variety of websites, one off the top of my head, was the hotel where my friend will be staying when he see's jack's mannequin in arizona next weekend. The clarendon. I liked their big blocks of content. I liked the wood background too, but I don't like grain, so I used planks. I saw a tutorial from tuts+ where they made a post-apocolyptic scene of NYC, and it used the default grass brush, so I found that inspiring for a footer. I added the Happy Summer at the bottom for a future theme/holiday change every other month. So without further ado, the base. (background): enjoy.



The vertical-scroll will be used in the future when I figure out what I should put there, rather than on it's own page.

The color choices and the grass make me feel like this should be an Easter layout, but then planks just throw that all off. I personally don't like the grass at all. If you got rid of that and warmed up the color of the planks, maybe there would be a little more cohesion. Also, I don't understand why there's a texture on the bottom two boxes but the top one and the banner are solid.
