It's good, but I have serious issues with blogs not aligning up with headers. Because I'm that type of person, if the blog itself were stretched out a little more to fit perfectly under the header, it'd be awesome.

This looks great; unique, eye-catching and really well designed - both in terms of graphics and coding. Bravo!

That's cool but just a fyi, the font is made jagged. Talk to the people who made Carnivale Freakshow about that.


And thanks guys. Yes I changed it , looks better that way :)

You did an amazing job, Toya. The design is very clean and I like the font you use for your blog, personal info, etc. because it is so easy to read. Your header looks gorgeous, but that's really no surprise since it was done by, well, you. ;)

i ment the AA not the font in genereal did you have the AA set to smooth ? i ask case the quaility of the font looks very bad it makes it look blur jagged, don't take it the wrong way when i said boreing i guess im more into medicore sites such as dethcore.com and stuff not really into the blog scene, the banner graphic wise is a nice job and a good use of colors ect.

the font doesnt look jagged to me. and she knows what antialias is, and the font probably still look likes that regardless, because that's the point. so stop acting like you know what you're talking about, just because you've been hanging on depthcore's balls.


here's a nice picture for you to look (click to enlarge)




row one is set to Smooth
row two is set to Sharp
row three is set to Crisp
on the right is each example zoomed in so you can see the edges.
as you can see, the typeface was designed that way, so you can shut the f**k up now.

also, i dont know why you're even continuing talking about why you think it's boring or whatever because she didnt even say she was offended or anything. now you're just seeming like a persistant a-hole.

personally i dont find this boring. it's a refreshing change of pace; especially if you are part of the depthcore scene, because the stuff there tends to be overhyped.


And I apologize to anyone who had to read this bullshit (from him and me) but I really couldn't resist.

wtf is your problem criticizing people when your own shit sucks my left tit? Did i say that you posted on DC? I believe I said you were hangin on their testicles. Thank you.

Think before I talk? Wtf did you just do? You basically lectured her on antialiasing as if she didn't already know wtf it meant; even though she already explained that the typeface was created that way. Maybe you should think before you vomit idiotic posts such as the ones you made above.

Try actually acknowledging my points instead of trying to insult me.
f**kin amateur.

I really like the colors you chose, Toya. And the use of contrast on the banner turns me on.

Thanks guys and Trish I'll try to fix that :)


Xerofour - I understand that the design is not your style. I said in my first post directed at you, that was ok. Because I don't expect everyone to go for the style I use and I don't go for every style everyone else puts on the table either. I was simply saying like Trish illustrated that no matter what way you make the font it comes out the same. It was created that way. Both of us were pretty much addressing that there is no way around it. I understand where you were coming from about the jagged-ness but its nothing something I plan on fixing because thats my font choice. But thanks and I appreciate your feedback.
