I look around and see the majority of blournals are done in simple solids. People prefer making sure their content is readable, or just prefer to keep it easy on themselves. I can respect that, anything to ease web building (without becoming lazy).
So perhaps one would consider mine to be, overdone? ::shrugs:: Perhaps one would be right... if I were doing so for other people.
I need color. Not solids, but a myriad of colors, or else the same color presented a million different ways. That color being blue in this case. Calming, relaxing blue. Blue to sweep me in the reflecting waters, or blue to mirror my inner turmoil. Blues to try and calm the savage rage that others constantly seem to feed an neverending supply of fuel to.
Blues, blues blues... but none so dark and peaceful as deep blues, where sound and sun have little hope of penetrating. Oh, to go see those blues.
At the same time, I need pattern. I grew away from gif animations, but I can understand the need I had of them at one point. I needed kinetic motion, whether real or simply an illusion. Not so much now, but patterns to remind me of possible motion... potential energy versus kinetic energy, I believe.
Maybe one day I'll switch and go to solids, but that will probably be some time... like when I'm near death. Until then, I'll keep my overdone look. It suits me, and that's all that really counts.
