Information
Astral Designs was an idea Masao had (because she had too many images that had no sites to be used on), but built with the help of Raine. They went through many names before settling on the one Raine came up with. This site was opened on July 24th, 2008 as another joint project between Masao and Raine.
Layout version one features the current members of NEWS, a Japanese group Masao and Raine both love. This layout was made by Masao using a scan from here and background pattern from The Inspiration Gallery. Fonts used are The Maple Origins, Jane Austen, and Pea Leigh Leigh.
All graphics were made in Photoshop CS2 and hand coded in CuteHTML LE, Masao's favorite html editor which comes with color coded tags for the visually challenged.
