Back to what it used to be

Yay for summer update #2! I'm enjoying my summer to the fullest, it's fun not to worry about homework and grades. However, I'm already bored and so I took this opportunity to update.

Thus, I joined Aitsu Sweetheart's Full Moon Wo Sagashite Icon Contest! It has been awhile since I last joined a graphic contest, and so I hope many will join as well. The contest banner can be found below, if not you can click on the link in this update as well. In fact, thanks to the contest I have 4 new icons featuring no other than Full Moon Wo Sagashite. Hope you guys like them.

I've also like to introduce two wonderful affiliates♥~ Meet Lori from Lovespire and Anny from Wallflower. They both just recently opened their sites, so please give them a warm welcome and take the time to see their beautiful graphics.

A lot of sites I've visited lately are saying how the graphic community is dying. I have to agree to that statement too. Anime isn't as popular as it used to be, and many designers don't have the time to update due to personal issues or other commitments. It's hard to believe that this community can actually die when websites are booming a lot more in businesses and social mediums. Actually what I've noticed in most graphic sites now a days, people are able to afford their own domain sites, compare to back then a lot of people relied on subdomains. I guess the point I'm trying to make is the fact that the graphic community is changing. I believe all designers in our community are noticing that. Despite all the changes, I just want to say that SD is still going to go strong. A lot of my improvements in this community happened with my personal website, and I want to keep on growing. Even if people decide to stop using my graphics, I want to take that chance to grow even more in my design.

Well this is enough of my rant, I want to ask if I should have my tag-board back on SD. Will it make things easier for visitors to comment? Please let me know. I removed it in the past since I've been getting a lot of spam and ads on it. But now that I know it can be fixed, I'll be glad to put it up if visitors would want to comment in it. Until next time~
