Credits

First of all, this site and all it contents, unless otherwise stated, are (c) Tedra Elliot (me). Unless I say otherwise, I wrote it or compiled it, and please don't copy it without permission. This is not an official website, and I have no affiliation with Amano or any of her record companies. I just like her music.

Credits are difficult, because some of this stuff I can't remember where I got it. But I know I must credit, firstly, the wonderful website Beyond the Camera's Lens, for being my first Amano Tsukiko resource, and also first place I ever heard of Amano. Yes, I too was just another Fatal Frame fan who found herself in awe of Amano's Chou single and - well, needless to say I'm now a fan.

I would also like to credit the websites Voice Over and the dearly departed Guitars & Kimonos, not only for existing, but also for shutting down, in some ways. If both of these sites hadn't disappeared, I probably wouldn't have started planning out this website enough to make it. And, even though Voice Over is coming back, I think Amano could use a few more fansites anyway.

More, even, than the site Voice Over, I would like to credit their forums, and the wonderful people who seem to be there every hour of the day.

Layout Credits

I made this layout using Jasc Paint Shop Pro. It took me a fair bit of time, so please do not copy the code, take the images, or use any part of this layout directly in any way (by directly, I mean taking the banner image or the CSS codes, if this layout inspires something, I'm not going to take credit for that).

First of all, despite differences, this layout is inspired vaguely by the one over at Voice Over. It was more of a "My layout sucks in comparison to theirs" kind of inspiration, but deciding to use bolder colours was from them. Second, almost all the images used in this layout are from Amano's Official Website or from her Blog. The only one that's not is the small one in the center, and that is from Beyond the Camera's Lens's Amano Page.

The brushes in this layout are from a variety of places, mostly communities on livejournal. Unfortunately, I haven't been there in so long that i can't say which specific community it is that I got these from. If you recognize them, drop me an e-mail.

Aside from that, this layout was designed using Notepad, as well as the Mac equivalent, TextEdit. CSS is something I've compiled over the years into my own style based on a variety of other designs and resources. This design uses tables, because I've been finding lately that different browsers deal with div layers differently, and consequently some designs can look fine on one browser but awful on another. This layout definitely works in IE 7 and Firefox, provided your resolution is higher than 800x600.

This layout was also made in Jasc Paintshop Pro, and was mostly inspired by my desire to have a Koe layout, as well as by a pair of brushes from Aethereality, which are used in this layout. It really didn't take long, because I pretty much just copied the code from the above layout and changed the colours. I like the image in this layout, because it looks both blurry and sharp, like some parts have been painted with a thin brush, and others with a thick one. Please don't steal either the image or the code.

The image used in this layout is from a high-quality scan avaliable at Beyond the Camera's Lens. Everything else is brushes, most of which came, again, from various Livejournal groups. The feel of this layout is supposed to be smoky and gothic. The font in the banner was from Da Font.

This layout was designed using Notepad and TextEdit, and using my own CSS that is a jumble of all sorts of other people's CSS. The design uses tables, and should work in IE 7 and Firefox, provided your resolution is more than 800x600.
