Jules!

I think you're as picky as me when it comes to the style of your pictures and codes and so on. So rather than making a complete CS for you, I'll give you a hint on how to change it in neat ways.

This is how I do it, feel free to experiment and order things however you want. Changing the background and text colors is easy, you can use whatever you would like in terms of color and patterns and so on. Just google for Seamless Backgrounds and you'll get a ton of things to choose from. you can also narrow it down by adding more search parameters.

Here are some tips and advice from the Coach!

A different background can make the CS look completely different. Match colors of the text with the ones in the background picture, for a smoother look.

Indent gives nice edges to the text, but can make the CS seem narrow if using many frames at one time.

Whee, floating... This is something nifty I just discovered when making Mikk's CS. I think it's neat, a good way of storing those little basic info's that otherwise would require a space of their own.

Title	Title	Title
I	Like	Tables!

This is a good way of storing info, but you already know this.

In Rista's CS I stashed all the info within tabs, which works pretty well but also gives a slightly cramped feeling since you have to scroll to read all the text.

Remember, you can't use tabs within tabs. Same goes for other codes as well.

... You can make it float to the left or right, with the float command. External text will flow side-by-side with the box.

Makes the CS look
A little bit like
A newspaper articleThis is pretty nice as well. Especially for the Equipment list, where you might want to explain the objects more in detail. You can't place links in here.

I like boxes, and to separate information quite clearly. Not necessarily on different posts, but that's optional and very personal what one might prefer.

I don't really like the spoilers since they're big and you can't change the color of the button. But if you need to link to other things, like a flashback thread in your history or so and don't want to url the text, then it can be pretty nice to have.

Rista! I have been referred to you via Julie... I have a sort of specific request, but a simple one. I was wondering if I could just maybe send you an email of the pictures I have saved on my computer with a little explaining of what I'd like done to each one. It's mostly ONLY eye color changes/alterations... I thought it would be easier than looking up the handful of pictures again to link them all here. Haha, let me know what you think!

Okay so, number 1: Your amazing.
And number 2: I totally get it if you're too bussy, but if you find the time could you make a sig for me?
Pretty please?

Type of art:
A signature please

Character Name:
Miranda.
Race:
Human.
Gender:
Female.
Age:
24
Appearance:
Okay so, she has blonde hair that is usually worn down or pinned back from her face. She has blue eyes and porcelain skin. She mainly wears dresses in rich/dark colors, but I’m not real fussed on clothing

Special Requests:
She’s a calm, gentle person so over all the colors should be light and airy.
Does that make sense?
I hope so.

Anyway, if you get the time to do this for me then much love for you.
If not, well, much love anyway!

Hi Rista!

I'm a newbie and I've just got a quick request. I'd do it myself but my Photoshop hates me, and I'm not all that good anyway...lol.

I was just wondering if you could manip my avi for me a little by giving the hair a slight red auburn sheen instead of being dead brown, and the eyes a piercing blue?

Just let me know and thanks a million!
