Thank you again for the critique

The code and some modifications to the live version has been made by =moonfreak and I'm very pleased with the result of this collaboration (also my first one).

I see the points that you make, it helps a lot to improve my skills, since I'm not a professional, but I hope to be one some day


Thank you so much again

This journal skin is very appealling to the eye, and very easy to navigate! The combination of the Hard & soft edges brings the eye into the title nicley.
The organic shapes only serve to add to the "fresh" summertime-feel of the skin (bubbles in a soda) while the intense colors unify it.
I would like to see you get more into color schemes (some Yellow, Purple or Orange) would have made this skin pop that much more, whether it was the text color or a foreground design. Love the design aspect. look forward to more amazing art from you and moonfreak, harleshinn!

Was already about to comment on this one, when i saw a note requesting a critique and it was your template, so here we go again e.deviantart.net/emoticons/a/a… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title="Aww" />

I totally love the colors, even if they are very bright and kind of flashy, they give you this happy cheerful feeling, that smells like summer/spring and just make you feel good by looking at it. It's good to see some bright journal layouts every now and then!

The thing that is most appealing to me is that sidebar with the circles. That's a nice highlight, even if unused, that could give the eyes some place to rest in case the journal will be full of thumbs and text.

As for the suggestions where to improve:
e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="10" height="10" alt="" title="Bullet; Green" /> You have used black for the mood, which seems to be a bit harsh, as there is no black anywhere else in that journal. Maybe use a dark grey shade, or even the same grey as you have used for the journal date/time and the bottom links.

e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="10" height="10" alt="" title="Bullet; Green" /> That white font(just talking of the actual content) totally fits to the layout itself, but i'm afraid it is a bit too much for the eye if there is a lot of text to read. Not really sure what could fit better, but maybe some light blue could make it.

e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="10" height="10" alt="" title="Bullet; Green" /> A little more spacing at the bottom of the mood might balance it a bit more. Looks a bit squeezed with that extra border below, compared to the top of it.

e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="10" height="10" alt="" title="Bullet; Green" /> You should rethink the green as a link color for the menu. It's too light to really match their. Either go for a darker green shade (like you have in that feature preview), make it a bit bigger or try a different color. That way it's difficult to read .
Oh and there is a little glitch at the right side of the menu bar. I guess that's not intented.

That's it from me and like last time i love those preview images with the gradient, looks nice e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/h… " width="15" height="13" alt="" title="Heart" />
And no layout is useless, in fact it keeps others and yourself inspired and maybe you will find someone who will code it for you (i'm too busy for that atm) e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/h… " width="38" height="15" alt="" title="Hug" />

Thank you so much for your critique, I really appreciate it

And thank you for letting me know those little details, that's what I love about your critiques, you are so detailed!!

Luckyly =moonfreak will be colaborating with me and will code this journal, maybe then she could apply this improvements.

Now I'm trying to desing a simpler layout and I will try to code it, I have no problem with CSS...but I just can't understand the journal structure right!

Thank you once again!

That's good to hear, even more if the critique is really helpful

Saw the coded version already, looks good. Just a minor issue with the background.
And i'm sure a lot of people will use that, it's a really "happy" layout

I can't think of much else to say other than how simply beautiful this is. :3
(though I'm a bit biased because it has my two favourite colours in it) ;b
But hey, it totally reminds me of spring. <3

Hi! yes, you have to be a premium member to use journal skins, if you take a look at the contests running on DA you might get one as a prize

If you mean how we make them, it's simple...we read tutorials, a little of HTML and lots of CSS.

If you mean how to use them, you can click install...but not in this version, you have a full working Cloudy Journal in =moonfreak gallery
