Here's a look at the various layouts I designed for Evangeline Lilly Fan.
Version 1.0
September 22, 2004 - September 31, 2004
I didn't like this layout very much, the header was too
big and overall the colors didn't quite work out right, so it didn't last
very long.
Version 2.0
October 1, 2004 - January 31, 2005
I liked this layout - a lot. Because I couldn't come
up with anything better, I left it up for over 4 months. I really loved
the light blue color scheme.
Version 3.0
February 1, 2005 - May 8, 2005
I normally don't like darker layouts and I pretty much
suck at designing them, but this layout came out quite nicely. I loved
the use of brushes and the little circles.
Version 4.0
May 9, 2005 - July 22, 2005
I tried to create a layout with fresh summer-y colors
but I failed, so I colored it lilac/blueish - again. I'm cursed I guess.
*lol* But I'm very proud of this layout, it's done in tables so that's
something highly unusual for me and I love the setup of the whole page
- clean and simple.

Version 5.0
July 22, 2005 - September 3, 2005
Very similiar to version 4 but those great new photoshoot
pictures surfaced and I just had to try and finally redesign the site
and tada! I really like this color scheme, finally something that isn't
pink, lilac or whatnot. lol
Version 6.0
September 3, 2005 - November 6, 2005
I knew I wanted a new design for the site's 1-year anniversary
and luckily I was able to come up with something. Again I used the same
structure as the 2 previous versions but it's nevertheless a bit different
than the previous ones. I really liked the color scheme, I had been trying
to use red/brown colors for so long now and I'm happy it worked out with
this layout.
Version 7.0
November 6, 2005 - December 4, 2005
Wow, seriously, I designed so many layouts before finally
trying to finish off this design. I just was lacking inspiration and wasn't
satisfied with any layout I started. But the site needed a new look and
so I gave in and decided to put this layout up. I hope I will come up
with something better asap.
Version 8.0
December 4, 2005 - April 9, 2006
A wonderful layout designed by my friend Faith
as a birthday surprise - I completely admire her. She's truly talented.
And she used my favorite photo from Evangeline's InStyle photoshoot. Very
very lovely!
Version 9.0
April 9, 2006 - May 30, 2006
I was just waiting for the right pics to come along in
order to give the site a redesign. I loved the previous layout but it
had been up for a long time, so those new Elle scans came out and I just
had to use them. And I was "fighting" to get a different color
scheme than what we've ever had online before, so green it became.
Version 10.0
May 30, 2006 - July 28, 2006
And we're going back to the lilac color scheme. *lol*
I didn't really intend to design a new layout, but I just opened Pain
Shop Pro and put this together. And heck, I'm liking it. It's basically
still the same coding like we always have, with a few variations.
Version 11.0
July 28, 2006 - August 15, 2006
Not very original, I'm still sticking to the coding of
the last couple of layouts. I like the centering of the page and stuff,
otherwise I would so love to switch to layers. Anyways, I don't necessarily
like this layout, so hopefully I will come up with something better asap.
Version 12.0
August 15, 2006 - September 18, 2006
I tried something different with this layout, finally
using layers again. Not one of my faves, but the colors are a change and
those pics of Evangeline are too stunning.
Version 13.0
September 18, 2006 - October 1, 2006
I never really liked the previous layout, plus I wanted
a change in time for the site's second year anniversary, so I put together
this layout. Finally a blue-ish color again.

Version 14.0
October 1, 2006 - November 4, 2006
Some new stunning pictures surfaced and I just had to
try and come up with a new design. It was definitely a bit different in
terms of setup and colors. I quite liked it..
Version 15.0
November 4, 2006 - April 14, 2007
After the previous colorful layout, I decided to try
something else. So it's pretty much a grey-ish header, using pics from
Evi's wonderful shoot for Elle UK.
Version 16.0
April 14, 2007 -
And we are back to colors. I didn't realize the old layout
was online for so long, but at the same time I didn't really feel inspired
enough to design something new but I eventually did and this layout was
the result. The colors really suit spring well and I fell in love with
these wonderful textures that I ended up using.
