I used Century Gothic?

Well first of all… Happy New Year! I’m so tired, even though this break I’ve been awake past midnight anyways.

I’m pretty sure that this is my first fluid layout, so I don’t know if I did it right. Most likely, I did, because it looks fine to me. I had the hardest time designing it, though. Not designing for months gave me a huge block and I couldn’t think of ANY ideas. It was really horrible and kind of scary. I needed a lot of inspiration, especially from Web Designer Wall and PSDTuts. Great help was given to me by COLOURlovers; I used the Reo palette in this design. At first, I ended up using a bunch of patterns and images, but I realized that using outside resources too much will take away the fact that I made this layout, not me and mostly other people’s resources. So, I ended up using simple things like default Photoshop shapes. Oh yes, I used Century Gothic. I used to completely DESPISE this font, but now I don’t even know why. It’s quite nice for decoration and other minor fonts, but I still think I won’t be able to pull it off for the main text (unlike Ariel, who definately can). Anyways, if you guys have any suggestions for this layout, or anything that is not working, please do tell me.

I still have to finish writing up pages (all the “about” pages and links out). I’m also thinking of doing commissions, but I still need to look up on pricing and payment procedures. I’ll get to that as soon as I can. I hope you all had a great New Year’s eve!
