Even though love layouts aren't really my favorite (mostly because I find the majority of them to be a little cheesy), I decided I'd throw one together in the spirit of Valentine's day. Not only that, but the bulk of my site's visitors are typical teenage girls, and they eat this kind of thing up.

Live preview.



Any feedback is appreciated. :)

I really like how you edited the photos. Maybe point me in the direction of a tutorial for that effect? whistling.gif

I really like how it's gray scale but has that bit of read so it doesn't look too plain. The font is really pretty too. I don't know if I like that rip background, maybe there's just too much drop shadow on it?

Aw I love this. It's cute. I love how it gives off a retro vibe. And yeah I agree about the background. It looks a bit odd. But the layout's cute! :)

You did a great job as usual :D I think the hovers are a bit annoying :X only because they're too slow. If they faded in faster I wouldn't mind them.

Of course it's awesome though. I think they would definitely eat it up.

Thanks guys. :)

The shadow is pretty dark, but that's just because I originally had a background color too close to the paper, so there had to be some sort of noticeable separation. I'll see if I could less it now that I made the background darker.

&& The effect on the image, all I did was smooth out the skin, sharpen a few areas, and add some contrast. Then I put a black background behind them and lowered the opactity.

I think it looks really good! I like the hovers too but maybe they would be better if you sped them up a bit. lol, you really like animated hovers, huh? laugh.gif

^I tried to speed them up a bit, but I couldn't adjust the settings to go any slower. It would just flash instead of fade when I tried. D:

I do love those animated rollovers, though. throb.gif

Thanks everyone. :)
