This is just a quick little question to guage interest; please feel free to comment.
If I were to open up a section of The Asylum devoted solely to web design and start taking commissions for site work, would anyone be interested? Basically I'm resuming my schooling to get my degree in graphic design and plan to freelance for a while. However, to do this I will have to create an online portfolio and have a bit of a customer base to start off with. I do free layout work for Apollymi, as I live with her so her payment is basically keeping me from living on the streets, haha.
Anyway, would anyone be interested in custom site work? For my anime layouts I tend to use screencaps or whatever artwork is provided to me, and I'm planning to branch into general photography layouts as well. Commission costs will start somewhere around $10 per hour that I work on the site (because hell, that's about what I make at the library and if I'm going to be putting time and effort into something, I want compensation for it) with payment due before I release the layout codings.

Yes, I know that I just (very) recently made a new layout for the Asylum. This is not stopping me from working on the next theme.
But, I need a little bit of help. See, this time for the main page header I'm using screencaps (this part isn't where I need help) and I want to make a comparable splash page. But... ah... the main section is more than vaguely KaiJyo.
...shut up. I don't despise KaiJyo, it's puppyshipping I can do without.
ANYWAY, I'm trying to figure out how to make the splash page. The last two layouts (Stolen Kisses and Beautiful Dreamers) incorporated artwork from the same doujinshi for both the splash and main pages. There are a severe lack of screencaps featuring Kaiba Seto and Jyonouchi Katsuya on screen at the same time, let alone within two feet of one another.
So basically, I'm asking for an opinion: should I set up the splash page like I've done with the main layout (individual 'caps done to look a bit like photographs), try to track down a shot where they aren't on the verge of fighting or stick with a doujin image? Comment with your opinions; I'm also going to pose this question in y!Gallery with a poll to garner some response.
I'm slowly switching this baby over to a babble blog. Meaning, I may still include website updates but more likely I will be writing out stream on consciousness randomness that may be more than some people can handle. Approach with the utmost caution!
