Layout Requests!

[alchemy]

Hi guys! I know that this community probably seems slow as molasses sometimes. We just don't have as many people making new layouts as someplace like LJ. I think, though, maybe a little inspiration is in order.

Layout Users

Comment to this post with specific layout requests. Ask for certain features or color schemes or general themes. There isn't a guarantee that someone will choose to create a layout for you, but you never know!

Layout Makers

1. Check out the requests and see if anything sparks your creativity.

2. Would any of you be interested in doing a layout challenge? Please comment and let me know!

If this post gets a positive reaction, I may make a permanent request post with a link somewhere really obvious on the sidebar or in a sticky post.

I post with the caveat that I feel better when I give multiple options, not because I particularly think they should done at all, but because I don't know what other people will find inspiring.

I wouldn't mind more styles that play on minimal background patterns thing: I like what's going on in some of the new Brittle layouts in terms of patterns (even if the information at the bottom thing and the lack of titles is driving me a little spare and will probably drive me off the style I'm using, because damnit, I like to display my wittcisms.)

I also wouldn't mind more, mm, iconographic or playful headers? I'm not terribly fond of the styles ColorSides or Nouveau Oleanders et al for any number of reasons that probably boil down to being a terribly picky visual person but I love them conceptually and wish there were more.

I also like those sort of semipretentious layouts on other sites with skies and cities et al as the layouts because I can look at them forever if they don't have words on them but I'm pretty sure that's not an actual recommendation for them.
