Phases
Morning Star has gone through many layouts over the years and here is where I display them all. They are divided into
three categories for easy navigation.
2011 Revival
Version r-6.0 ♥ Dream in Watercolor - Redux
April 8, 2016
I guess there is a first for everything. I re-uploaded this layout because I think
I was too hasty in removing it.
It is a beautiful design. However, this time I
changed the navigation system and made it much simpler.
Version r-7.0 ♥ Crown Arcade
March 3, 2015 → April 8, 2016
I wanted to use
game sprites because I always thought they were so cute! I think in the end this layout
didn't really show my what I could do. It was a very
easy and quick layout to make. It came our really nice on the mobile.
Version r-6.0 ♥ Dream in Watercolor
March 3, 2015 → September 1, 2015
I think this layout was way
too bulky. I wanted to try filling up the whole page since I tend to make small designs and also wanted
to try using a more
dynamic navigation system. But, I think in the end,
Simple is best. Though I think I colored some
of the manga pictures quite beautifully.
Version r-5.0 ♥ Binded by Moonlight
September 21, 2014 → March 3, 2015
I wanted to make a layout celebrating the new
Sailor Moon Crystal series. I scanned the CD jacket and made this
layout.
I really hate it. When I made it, I just wanted to push something new out and that's probably why it turned
out so ugly.
Version r-4.0 ♥ Glory
October 22, 2013 → September 21, 2014
I always
love that
Artbook picture of Venus and just wanted to try using it! Overall, I think it
came out well. I used
brushes of dahila flowers to decorate the image since they are supposed to be the
flower of Venus. I like the quote I used for this one:
"In the night sky there must be a crescent moon, and in
life there must be love."
Version r-3.0 ♥ Route Venus
May 8, 2013 → October 22, 2013
I really
liked the main image of the layout and
enjoyed coloring it. I have to say I got
pretty tired of it and in the end, I feel pretty
"eh" about it.
I did get some
compliments for it though.
Version r-2.0 ♥ Looking at Venus
October 20, 2011 → May 8, 2013
This layout was based on one of
Minako's songs from the
Live Action series.
The song is called
"Katagoshi ni Venus" (loosely translated as "Over the shoulder Venus"). I always
liked this
Artbook picture, but never knew what to do with it till now. I really like this
layout's color scheme
(bright pink and blue!) and it made me realize that I should just
go crazy with the colors! I received
many compliments for this layout
:)
Version r-1.0 ♥ Aphrodite Anadyomeme
June 6, 2011 → October 20, 2011
This is the layout I used for the grand re-opening of Morning Star. I have always loved this
image of Venus and had been saving it for a special occasion (or until I could do something awesome with it). The image
comes from the
Sailor V manga when
Ace tells Minako of her past and
how she was born from the Sea of Venus. The title
Aphrodite Anadyomeme means "Aphrodite rising from the Sea" and is
inspired by Botticelli's famous painting,
Birth of Venus.
