| MRS Forum - July 2014 |
A few months ago a friend asked me to help redesign her web forum, Misty Rain Scans. I didn't like the layout of the whole thing and the way people (administrators of the forum) kept changing everything to the point it became a jumbled mess of images, fonts, colors, etc. I agreed to help and after researching other scanlation groups' forums I came up with a sample layout for the forum administrators to preview and approve.

| Sample Layout |
The entire process took three weeks as I redesigned the top image (I used some level/gradient layers and cropped the image to change the original image's atmosphere in Photoshop and added a flashing title), Menu (I tried my best to design the menu buttons to match the top image but I feel my sizing for each individual button might have been a few px off), Post Icons (the kitties were inspired by a mahjong game on my phone and I really enjoyed making these three little icons), Background Image (even though the sample does not show the background image I had fun trying to figure out the proper sizing because webpages have a lots of unusual restrictions), and Who's Online image (this is another flashing image that I tried a dark circus them too but I think it would've been better if it had matched the text on the top image instead - I'm going to redesign this part for new year, maybe even redo the color scheme to red.)
To see the final live result here is the link:
