| Why hello~ This is Moonflame Designs, a graphic designing website created in order to provide visitors with useful graphics such as layouts, profiles, and signs. It was established on October 21st, 2005, and has improved quite a great deal since that time. I, Presea, consider my small website to serve as a portfolio of my gradual improvement in the graphics designing area. However, I still aim to serve said visitors with tasteful graphics and designs. I hope that you will be rather pleased upon viewing what I have to offer. And, once you've had a good enough look around, might I suggest taking a gander at the websites owned by my lovely affiliates? Enjoy the time you spend here~ I appreciate every second of it. |
| Past Layouts |
|
Well, before when Moonflame was just an itsy, bitsy little website that I thought was the cooliest around ('cause I thought I was the cooliest around, how naive..) we had many, many, not so fabulous layouts! I count all of those layouts as Version 1 of Moonflame (mainly because I don't have their screen capture or anything from them. Oh, and we used premades and stuff). All of our other versions, which believe it or not, improved over time, follow this paragraph here. These layouts are for viewing purposes only. D: You can click on the little pictures to see bigger pictures~ *I was unable to find screen captures of these layouts therefore only their top images are available for viewing. |
| V.2 :: Protect Me* |
 I was very proud of this layout at the time I had made it. It was my first ever(successful) custom layout for Moonflame Designs as we before used premades and pieces of crap I would've, at that time, called genius. Whatever. (xD) I can't say that I still love this layout, but I know it was a great accomplishment for MFD. |
| V.3 :: Untitled |
 Yes, this one never really had a name (or, not one I can remember). I designed Untitled(1) on my brother's laptop and eventually transferred it to my PC for the big finish. I was also proud of this one a while back. I still kind of like the simplicity of it. |
| V.4 :: Distorted Dispear |
 This was definatly one of my favourites from when I was still a newbie! I was so happy I was able to throw those planes in with my headers, although they had nothing to do with the actual main image. I really loved the scheme of this layout. However, this layout disappoints me as it shows how badly I spelled when I was eleven (notice title on screen capture). |
| V.5 :: Come |
 Another one of my favourites! And surprisingly enough, a lot of the visitors really liked this one, too. I was in love with the hover effect I used (drop shadow) and we even had music you could turn on or off. This layout made me so very proud. I still really like this one. |
| V.6 :: Magic |
 I started to design a bit different by the time this layout came around. To me, this layout was another big accomplishment for MFD. I like the way I designed this one very much. I especially loved the little box behind our title (although I don't know why). |
| V.7 :: Untitled(2) |
 This layout was our final layout with freewebs. It was kind of plain, but overall, I really loved the turnout. Surprisingly, flipping the main image vertically added a unique touch and didn't turn out so bad. I guess I can say that I liked this layout. |
| V.8 :: Listen To Your Heart |
 Eww. I hated this layout so much! I shamed Scheris' pretty face so badly with this one! I believe I just got done watching the series s-CRY-ed, so I wanted to use an image from that anime (since it moved me so much). We were just accepted by Jenni, our former host, to be hosted under her domain and she wanted me to make a new layout. I procrastinated and came out with this. Dx |
| V.9 :: Sorrow |
 I loved this layout. To this day it is still a huge favourite for me. Every element fit perfectly. There was not one image out of place. The dark simplicity is something else I loved about this layout, but I really think that the main image made it all. |
| V.10 :: Spring Is Here |
 A favourite of many and myself as well. Well, for a little bit after I made it anyway. Once again, I started designing differently and this was the layout that launched it all. We had just hired(hired? xD) Amy and she helped me code the navigation for this layout. I think it turned out splendid. |
| V.11 :: Diary of an Angel |
 T____T I loved this layout sooooo much! But, our site got deleted when it was up and I didn't even get a screen capture of it (though thanks to WebArchive, I was able to get one)! It was so pretty (after I had fixed all the mistakes). It was simple yet detailed at the same time. I only wish I could've had it up a bit longer. :'c |
| V.12 :: Tomorrow's Way |
 I know I've said this too much, but I loved this layout. This layout picked MFD up off the ground after the deletion and although it was very simple, the main image made it shine ever so brightly. It was inspired by Yui's song, "Tomorrow's Way," and was very pretty. Although, I think I made this one a bit too narrow. D: |
| V.13 :: Untitled(3) |
 I suggest you look at the screen capture if you would like to actually see this layout. It was so dark, you can barely make out the preview. Well, I think this is one of my favourite layouts of all time. This and the one following it. It was dark but it was stunning and I think the coding made up for anything the layout was lacking. This is when MFD gained back 1/4 of it's visitors. (x Pretty layout, in my opinion. |
| V.14 :: A Different Field of Stars Than Ours |
 Oh, this layout~ I still love it. *w* It was so pretty and organized. Moonflame's first successful table layout, in fact. I loved the main image, too. I started designing differently again, using A LOT of stock. This one had a lot of blended star fields, hence the title. The only reason I ever took this layout down was because it was really dark. I wanted to make something light next. Otherwise, this layout would still be up. x3 |
| V.15 :: Hana |
 Looking back at this layout, I realize how much I loved it (and still do). While the coding was messy and haphazard, the design was stunningly simple and I rather enjoyed all of the components such as the faded headers and rounded-corner tables. I remember the title came from a song by my favourite artist KOKIA, titled Hana. Such a pretty song. I think this layout did well in representing it. |
| V.16 :: Strawberry's Temptation |
 This layout was very interesting. The colours were warm and worked well together, and the slightly distorted and cloudy image created a certain sense of mystery. Honestly, the title seems as though it is unrelated, but the original image included much more noticable strawberries. Anyway, I rather liked this layout. It was a new style and introduced me to plenty of new codes. |
| V.17 :: Gold Rush |
 By far, this is one of my favourite layouts (possibly the very favourite). It was so different, the navigation and the style. The particular header image I have seen used many times; in a snowy and blue environment. I was glad I could take the picture and use it differently while still keeping its quality in tact. While this layout may have proved tedious for those wishing to navigate, it was overall charming and elegant and I'm still in love with the design. |
| V.18 :: Sky's The Limit |
 Sky's The Limit was such a contradiction of a layout. I want to say it was easy on the eyes, but the bright red content area does not allow me to, ahah. However, the header design itself was very soft and has a history. By this I mean that a paint splatter brush in the layout looked an awful lot like Lloyd from Tales of Symphonia (<3). I tried to cover it up and it didn't work, tehe. In the end, I suppose I could call this layout a unique one with its little update box and rounded-corner rectangle content area. I really did enjoy this design! |
| V.19 :: Featuring Chi |
 This poor design would have been my forth "Untitled," but I decided to classify it by its subject, Chi from Chobits. Ahhh.. the artwork is so pretty. @w@ I've always wanted to use Chobits and it fit perfectly in this design. The elements of the picture I vectored and tied into the design and without much use of outside resources, I am very proud of this layout. Although it was up from June until now (it's the end of November..), I still admire this design and that alone is a miracle. I can't resist it, it's adorable~! <3 |
