Past EDN Layouts

Click on the images for a closer look. Please be patient. These images are LARGE and will take some time to load.


PreVersion - Autoshapes

This first layout, if you can call it a layout, was created by opening Frontpage and going wild. The result is what you see to the left.


Version 1.0 - Woodland Forest

This was the first "real" design created for EDN. It featured tiling backgrounds and buttons from grsites.com


Version 2.0 - Blue Steel

This layout was done with frames and paint. There are actually 4 frames in that picture. 
 


Version 2.5 - Transition

The last layout to be made with MS Paint. It was online for such a short time I didn't even count this as a full layout. 


Version 3.0 - Cel-Shaded Ocean

This was my first attempt at using Photoshop and Dreamweaver. 
V3.0 was used for a record (at that time) six months. 


Version 4.0 - Liquid Ice

The second of the Photoshop layouts. This is where I started the Zgames buttons at the top. This layout was also the only one to have two different headers.


Version 5.0 - Desert Sunset

This version was initally created to fit all the Zgame buttons. I neglected to take a screenshot before I removed it from the server. But that is generally how it looked like. The header was made with pictures from Majora's Mask and Twilight Princess.


Version 6.0 - Hylian Midnight

I always wanted to make a layout that was both professional looking and cool like the bigger Zelda sites. Thus utilizing the full power of my Photoshop skillz I spent two months in creating V6.0. The picture of Lake Hylia in the header, is actually my own rendered creation.


Version 7.0 - Industrial Glow

The main feature of this layout was the orb on the right. I was aiming for a more "interface" type theme that flowed from header to footer. Apart from the orb, the name of the games was also displayed when hovering over the buttons. This layout was again online for a record 6 month.


Version 8.0 - Twilight's Advent

The main reason for V8.0 was EDN was simply outgrowing V7.0. This layout was designed with 3 extra slots for future Zelda games, as well as the hotbox in the middle. I ended up never using those extra slots.


Version 9.0 - Sapphiric Dissemination

Version 9.0 was a major change, made to incorporate the look and feel of the new CMS system. This layout holds the record for longest online: One and a half years.
