Description So I've just realised that to actually enter this, I need to become a member of the #communityops group. Don't worry, that's being fixed now.

Everyone else seemed to be using the dA green, and while I do love the dA colours and all.. I like trying different things.

It's simple, clean, and I think that the dark blue has worked a treat on making everything else pop. What do you guys think?

As things stand right now, I'm going to have to leave the coding to the dA professionals ( $Ikue ) - college starts on Monday and as I have a few things going on at the moment, the design is going to have to suffice for the time being. Who knows, I may even get to code it yet!

Anyway, tell me what you guys think!

While I'm sat here laughing Chris is cursing me under my breath for being lazy (even when it's not really the case! XD) I know he loves playing with the code in journals anyways, he could code this one in his sleep.

Honestly I was surprised when I had submitted it to see that nobody else had done it yet! It's just something different though, that's why I enjoyed making it.

I contemplated using the same layout and design then changing the colours to something along the lines of the dA green at one point, and I may still try it yet. I don't know that I'll actually submit it as an entry though.

I love it. I am a huge fan of the inverse theme in general. My entire OS is edited to be white on black instead of black on white.

I reckon you have used the cov-ops logo well, changing it slightly compared to the other entries. The styilised quotation marks around the paragraph box are an interesting touch too.

I love it. And like I said, it was more of a decision to go in the opposite direction to where everyone else had gone. I'm glad I chose to do it before I had looked at everyone else's though, it wouldn't have been as funny to me if I had.

Thankyou! When I was placing things around like the logo, I guess it seemed like a given to me that people would make the logo at the top the most prominent thing, but also that they would have all of it showing.. so playing around by rotating it and making it larger in the header looked awesome!

I had actually tried the quotation marks on another journal design I had made a little while ago, I figured they made an excellent way to distinguish a quote from a featured box of text.
