Originally I had a personal website hosted in a corner of PrettySenshi.com named "An Insomniac's Dream," which contained basic information about me, my poetry, sketches, and artwork, in case my visitors were curious about the person behind all the coding. I also had a blog named "My Favorite Plum," and for a while I maintained a separate website dedicated solely to my sketches and drawings. I no longer maintain a blog, and the content of An Insomniac's Dream has been incorporated into ZeynepGoral.com. I also don't draw anymore, so I moved a handful of old sketches to my personal website. Even though I have a paid account on Flickr, I maintain a Photography website, which was my first PHP/MySQL project and learning experience. Below is an archive of past designs for all of these projects, in roughly reverse chronological order. |

My Favorite Plum
Version 1.0 - Sea Deep
My blog was originally named "Sea Deep" (because I was really deep, like the sea... get it?) and powered by Pitas. This was the first layout, featuring an image of Natsumi from the series Tenshi ni Narumon, and a lot of the color blue.

An Insomniac's Dream
Version 12.0 - Do You Feel Loved?
This layout featured lyrics from the U2 song, "Do You Feel Loved?" and the kanji for "love." Clearly, I was a romantic.

An Insomniac's Dream
Version 11.0 - Give A Reason for Life
This green frames layout features Megumi Hayashibara, my favorite Japanese voice actress and singer at the time. I created this layout specifically for a new anime reviews section that I planned to link from the main PS.C index, but I ended up keeping this layout up for quite some time.

Shimmer / Vague Inklings
Version 4.0 - Angelic
There were a couple of layouts between Version 1.0 and Version 4.0 of my drawing website, but they were so atrociously bad, dark and gloomy that I am not putting them up for the world to see. This one's not particularly great either, but at least it's somewhat tolerable.

An Insomniac's Dream
Version 10.0 - Hitomi & Van
I had been avoiding using any anime/manga pictures on my personal website, but I really wanted to design a layout based off of this particular image of Hitomi and Van from Escaflowne. Plus, I'd had enough of flowers and Shirley Manson's face.

An Insomniac's Dream
Version 9.0 - Be Careful What You're Wishing
I was wary of using the color pink, but I think this particular shade worked well with the black background. The lyrics are from the song "Temptation Waits" by Garbage.

An Insomniac's Dream
Version 8.0 - You're the Magic that Holds the Sky
Another dark frames layout featuring Shirley Manson. The lyrics are from the song "Magic" by Ben Folds Five.

Shimmer / Vague Inklings
Version 1.0 - Floating
This layout was the first time I customized my own drawings and incorporated them into a web design, so it was more of a learning experience than anything particularly stylish.

An Insomniac's Dream
Version 7.0 - Girly Germs
I was into Garbage at the time, so I made a layout featuring Shirley Manson, the lead singer. There's not much else special about this version; it's another dark and simple frames layout.

An Insomniac's Dream
Version 6.0 - Mad About You
This is another simple, dark frames layout designed off of a flower photograph taken by my dad. The quote above the flower is from the Sting song, "Mad About You."
