Method to the Madness
One might say I come from the "old school" of webdesign. I believe that a simple but effective layout that is easy to navigate is the key to a good website. Balance in content and presentation is what I hope to achieve when designing a layout.
Influences
If elements of the site seem vaguely familiar, it's because I incorporated ideas I have encountered in my travels on the web, without consciously doing so. I realized this after evaluating my site upon its completion. These sites should take this as a compliment; no infringement is intended. So, to give credit where credit is due...
Some elements of Ryo-Ohki's Anime Loft were subconsciously incorporated from:
Empty Movement (front page concept)
Anime News Network (review jargon)
THEM Anime Reviews (review elements)
