About the site
The name. Well, it took me eons to find a suitable name for my blog. I wanted it to be epic! Sadly, I gave up and settled for the name, Aizelnuts. It's a play on words :) I mixed my name, "Aizel", (Pronounced ey-zull or azel as in "hazel") with the word "Hazelnuts", and BAM! A somewhat clever name for my personal blog! Yay! Actually, I was inspired by a Trip-to-Spain collegue who gave me the nickname "Hazelnuts".
The layout. This one is definitely a fave in my book! I love the harmony in the pastel colours. Also, it's a very small and simple layout so it gives off a girly and cute vibe,
which I like very much :D It also reflects my love for sweets. Huhu. I like how I made the navigation very plain-looking but still has a professional look. Ah~ I really love this one; I can't say it enough! It's so calm and joyful at the same time! <3Past Layouts
Version 4. Image source. Heeeee! I had so much fun making this layout! I adore those three! Mikado's face is priceless.
I really love the colour scheme I used for this one. It's soft and nostalgic, and it reminds me of chocolate. Mmm. I was inspired by the feeling of "summer is around the corner; time to hang out with friends
and have fun!". That's the feeling I get off those three, which is why I chose them for this layout. I'm very pleased with the result, it gives off a very quaint vibe. :D
Version 3. Applause! It's the third version of Aizelnuts! This features the anime/manga Katekyo Hitman Reborn!.
This is the simplest layout I've ever made in my life -which makes it all the more charming, no?- I've used pastel-ish colours this time, which gives it the peaceful wintery feel.
I really love this layout and it shall commemorate Aizelnuts' first winter! This was actually my third try, however I prefer this one over the other two I made. Even though it was meant for the Winter season only, I left it up until June >.>;;
Version 2.
This is the second version of Aizelnuts. The current layout features Teru Mikami from the anime/manga Death Note (You can see Light and Ryuk on the background as well).
It's pretty simplistic, not like some of my other layouts. That's probably why I love it so much! Even though I didn't use a lot of brushes, I worked so hard on editing the image >.<
It took so long. At least my hard work paid off. I'm very pleased with the result.
I chose the colour red because, well, it's my favourite colour but also because it gives such a heavy atmosphere to the layout, which is what I invisioned.
Version 1. (No screenshot available)
This layout features the two main bishies from the anime Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion.
I've grown quite fond of that series so I decided to make a layout out of it.
The layout remains untitled however, mostly because I was too lazy to name it and also, it was hard coming up with cool titles with this puny brain of mine.
(No offense brain!) I actually like how well the textures and brushes go together~ I was going for this kind of vintage/ distorted blend.
I'm pleased with the way it came out. A great start for my blog!
