First off, no, the new profile isn't put up yet. I just wanted to mention some changes between my current profile and the new one.
• Current profile has 16 random anime characters that load. The new profile will only have 13, to start off with. Four of the current profile characters (Jo, Ryoko, and two others, which names elude me at this moment) I seem to have lost or not saved, as a large .png format, so I'll need to work on redoing them at some point. One of those four, Jo from Burst Angel, will not be part of the random anime characters. I'll be switching her out for Maria, from Burst Angel.
• Current profile is 961x1145 pixels. The new profile is 500x2238 pixels. Much taller, but about half the width. I did this for 2 reasons. First, because I wanted to get away from the wide layouts I'd been using for my past several designs. Second, the hight is due to me and my dislike of scroll bars. As for file size of the background image I use, it's about the same as the current layout.
• I imagine load time should be about the same as the current layout. Possible a second longer, I'm unsure. The reason for this is while the background image used is slightly smaller in file size, the random anime characters are larger in the new design. Hopefully it doesn't change the load time too much.
I've been fiddling with Photoshop just about every day this entire month, trying to come up with profile ideas. Not only for myself, but for the joint shop I'm in as well. At this time, I'm unsure if I'd offer the new layout I'll be using in the joint shop or not. It's a lot more work, as far as sections go, if i was to offer it. I may fiddle around with it later, to make a version I could sell. Obviously anime characters wouldn't be included. Possibly swap them out to allow customers to show off avatar art in the same place instead. I'd also shorten the layout, due to my added section and enormous wish list section.
The new layout may be done later tonight. I've actually been coding it, but still have some work to do with it. So it's possible that I may have the new profile in use tonight.
