Redesign: “Candy Shop”

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009 by Kiyu

KIYU-SHII.NET’s Lilypond design has been redesigned! I call it “Candy Shop” because all the reds and whites remind me of a classical christmas lollipop. Still workin’ on a few more tweaks, but should be cleared up in a few days. My absolute favorite part of this redesign is the upper bar. The best idea I’ve had so far! Albeit perhaps eye-boggling, it’s just so… KIYU :D

I’ve also collaborated with Bao (the collaboration part won’t be revealed for a while), so stay tuned for more surprises!

London here I come!

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008 by Kiyu

Flight tickets bought, hotel room booked (it is, isn’t it Rolf?), excitement gushing and my brain’s going mushy. Yes, I’m off to London on monday! :D
I’ve always wanted to go to London. Actually, England has been on top of my priority list for quite some time now, I just never had the money or the opportunity to go. That is, until now.
You see, I’m not the average London tourist who goes there to shop and look at the famous attractions. Oh no. My trip is going to be more like Lutten’s.

I’m gonna feed the squirrels.

And as you can see, I just launched Version 3. Lilypond. Isn’t it pretty! I finally managed to create a white layout :D I spent 3-4 hours designing it, another couple of hours coding it. I originally had a lighter version, but people voted for this darker one, so I ended up using it. I WAS originally going to bug one of my friends into snapping lily pictures for me, but they were so slow that I settled with a stock photo from Adiastock instead.
The tabs finally get more attention now! Please do visit them often (except for the login tab of course, it’s only there to make life easier for me and Lutten).
A few bugs are still present (SCREW IE), but I’ll get back to them when I get home from work. Please report to me if you find any other bugs than the ones in the gallery and content background missing in IE!

Seriously. Stop using IE. BURN YOU.

Use Opera. Or Firefox.

Greenishly innocence

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008 by Kiyu

Look at the bright colors. I just love green.

Well, I just got the urge to make a new layout for the blog one evening. I’ve always wanted to make a white and bright one, but I guess I don’t have the right experience and knowledge just yet. At least this one ended up as bright as I wanted it :D
Yes, the content area is supposed to be almost invisible and blend in with the white background. And simplicy rocks btw. Simple and Clean.
But that doesn’t mean that I’ve gone sick of the previous layout though. Oh no, I haven’t. I still love the brown one very much, but I just need something bright and fresh for a little while because spring is approaching. I might just go back to the old one if I get sick of this one.

The beautiful flower picture I got in my layout is a picture taken of my friend Cales. I’m not sure where it’s taken, but it looks like it’s in Thailand somewhere. I really do adore this picture. It’s so bright and clear and exotic flowers have always been fascinating. Thanks Cales!

I’m still working on the layout and fixing some style issues here and there. The navigation looks yucky in IE though, but that’s your problem. Switch over to Opera or Firefox if you don’t want IE to rape my poor site.
But do post it in a comment if you find any bugs or something looks off, so that I know what to fix. Four eyes are better than two!
