i should learn to walk before i learn how to fly

with that said. i shall spend the next 2 weeks tidying up this blog page. i have since removed the rather annoying and sometimes, ugly ads (for now). a logo change is necessary, and hence, what we have here is a 'draft' of what's the new logo/banner will be. tidying up is the first, next will be beefing up the content with more up to date articles and hopefully, and hopefully a regular 'free download' such as icons, wallpapers et cetera and last but not least, it's time to think about driving traffic over here. so how's that sounds? ;)

a little something about the new 'draft' logo.
the whole idea of the new logo/banner was to have a vintage, old school travelling circus look & feel. i am not sure i am getting that feel for this piece. i did all my graphics on photoshop CS4. the main monkey logo was hand drawn, scanned and traced over on photoshop. 'the monkey life' logo is on a vintage circus ticket and i am still in the process of developing the rest of the abstract background. i used dominantly clouds because, that was all i had in my head right now. that's pretty sad, eh? the whole graphic was overlaid with a halftone layer, soften to give a 'old-time print on poor quality paper effect'. frankly, i am not quite please with this banner. i need to seat back and rethink... so what do you guys think? i hope hear to from the rest of the world ;)

ps: i am in the process of organizing my photobucket albums, so some photos or graphics hosted by it maybe affected. time to do some spring cleaning on photobucket...
