about the layout
This is the layout I used for my online Castlevania TCG, Loved By the Night. It features artwork by Kojima Ayami, the Castlevania character designer, for the GBA game Harmony of Dissonance. The sleeping girl is Lydie Erlanger, friend (but not girlfriend!) of the game's hero, Juste Belmont.
This was originally intended to be a layout of Juste, but the part of Lydie at the bottom worked out so well that I abandoned the original idea and went with the blue, black, and white theme instead. The layout is still up on the closed TCG page, but I've added a few enhancements to this version.
This is a centered div layout. No brushes or textures were used. =p
how to use
Use <h1> tags to create your menu headers (small and white), and <h2> tags (large, italicized blue) to create content headers.
To make a box like this appear, simply insert class="box" into the paragraph tag you'd like to convert into a fancy box. Like this:
<P class="box">
The background is a faded out piece of the castle that's in the background of the original image. It doesn't really look like much when there isn't a lot of text in the box, but it's still a nice accent even on smaller pieces.
And the form fields are already formatted to match the boxes.
Please do not remove the credits from the menu, but feel free to edit anything else freely. If you are confident with CSS, go ahead and edit colors and fonts as you see fit. Note that if you change the background color of the boxes, the background image inside them will no longer match correctly, so be careful!
