El's Graphics Shop

Hi friends!
Welcome to my graphics shop where I’ll make you some dank ass shit! I’ll do ya some layouts and character edits, and pretty much whatever else you can think of. If you want a dope ass newspaper layout for a chapter, some cute lil character profiles, a gif type thing, or if you just wanna get creative — drop me a comment or a PM and we can figure it out! I’m into whatever you’re into. Probably. I mean, if I don’t think I can make it I’ll tell you straight up.


More what you’d call “guidelines” than actual rules

☞ the waiting room — one request per person, please! + If the queue is full / shop is closed, please don’t request anything!
☞ order of operations — I might not finish things in the order they’re requested, so if you’re on a deadline please let me know!
☞ exchange of goods — when your request is done, I’ll shoot you a PM. For stories I prefer to be added as a co-author and setting the layout, but I get that it’s not really possible for other types of layouts and stuff.
☞ made in mibba — I like credit! You don’t have to link or anything, just put like my name (‘El’, 2 letters; or my username, ‘lungsmoke’, 9 letters) and say I made whatever it is that I made

omg I just creeped on the other shops & realised that Calli’s queue is also called the waiting room! Sorry girlfriend!

Completed
Story layout for raja sahara || Story layout for swell || Story layout for dawn of light

p.s. I swear I do banners I just can't find any other examples right now

If you have a specific type of layout in mind, please be specific! I don’t mind if you want me to make a layout with a left-right image border, for instance, or a top-bottom one, etc.. I also apologise that I don’t have many examples of everything I said I’d make, but I’m hoping that the ones I do have show y’all what I can do. :-)

OH by the way here’s what I tend to do, and will probably do for your layout, unless you tell me otherwise:
☞ wide margins between the text area and the Mibba bar + bottom of the page
☞ lots of padding — so the text area will probably be, y’know, 500 - 600 px wide, but the white space will probably be 600 - 800px.
☞ not a lot of image borders, ngl.
☞ sometimes, “cool” things with the chapter titles (see chapter pages for The Slaughter + If You Love Me Let Me Know)
☞ large-ish line height for easier legibility


if it doesn’t apply, just delete or leave blank (I’m too lazy to make a thing for all of them, sorry!)
Story Link : if you have one, and also so I can maybe make the summary look unique compared to the rest
Title :
Genre : like story genre, i.e. adventure, comedy, teen, etc.
Vibe : of the story
Banner : if you want one, if not I’m probably going to do the “kind of like a banner but not really” thing that I do
Colour scheme : if you have anything in mind, from a specific colour palette to, like, ‘dark background’ or ‘light background’ or ‘high contrast’ or ‘low contrast’
Specific images : for a banner if you choose, or the background, or whatever
Personal preferences : in terms of width, text size, font family, etc. Unless it's Comic Sans. In which case I will choose for you
Notes : anything I didn’t cover that I should know


What you’re thinking of : an old fashioned Midwestern Wanted sign? Newspaper clippings? Story dividers just for your story? I made the open / closed button thing for this shop and I’m excited to do cool things like that!
Poorly drawn MS Paint diagram : optional, obviously, but also appreciated

---

Story Link: Bitch Boy
Genre: Romance, drama, crime(ish), thriller(ish)
Vibe: relatively dark (ie psychotic people trying to separate the main couple) with moments of lightness (cuteness b/w 2 men)
Banner: I'm down for the banner but not thing that you do!
Colour Scheme: I have a thing for dark blue but I'm down for any colours (whatever tickles your fancy honestly I'm not fussed)
Specific Images: nope I suck but if you would like me to find something I'm more than happy to do so
Personal pref: no comic sans or palatino (whatever it's called, you know that fake version of times new roman) and pls no courier new for the main text. Happy for courier to be in chapter title or whatever just not the ~main~ font
Notes: if you need some sort of direction since I really didn't give you anything LOL let me know!

Also Ty for reserving a spot for me, totally forgot that I had tbh

@ swell
No problem! Will get to it ASAP!!

Story Link : LINK
Title : The Dizygotic Killer
Genre : crime, mystery
Vibe : mysterious, creepy kind of thing
Banner : I would like one please!
Colour scheme : it's a relatively dark story however I don't want the background to be fully black with a white text (hopefully I'm making sense). Maybe some light gray or something!
Specific images : could you use this image in my banner please. I also really really like how you made The Slaughter, so if you do something like that particular layout to my request, that'd be great
Personal preferences : I'm good with either Times New Romans or Georgia, as for font size I prefer the size to be nothing greater than 14, please.
Notes : please add my title in the banner and no chapter numbers shown please!

THANK YOU!!

Your layouts are amazing! I'm sure your banners are too~ Would you take a banner request for something off-site that will also be posted here in the blogs? If so, I'll leave my request, if not, that's cool too! Thank you in advance either way~

Title : To the four people i have loved
Other Text : issitohbi
Dimensions : 500 x 500 +
Vibe : I'm moving away, so it's a sad and nostalgic playlist of all the things I wish I would have said/done when it comes to the four people I've loved romantically
Colour scheme : Literally anything that gives you love vibes without being neon/bright or to match the image(s)
Specific images : I'm thinking one of these: one, two, three (Or multiple if you know a good way to do that~)
Personal preferences : Something cursive for the title, Times New Roman for the subtitle - perhaps in a bottom corner - and if you have an 8tracks, you can add your username next to mine with the | symbol between!
Notes : It's a two part playlist, the second being "And to my two best friends" if that gives you any ideas as to what to stray from with this banner

Title : She Owns My Heart
Other Text : "She is my world"
Dimensions : 500x500
Vibe : Bittersweet
Colour scheme : Light
Specific images : This and this (If possible)
Personal preferences : I'm happy to leave that to you :)
Notes : N/A

@ dawn of light
Yes, PM me!

@ pocahontas.
I'll totally do it! Is this for like an 8tracks album cover thing? because that sounds really cool n I've never done an album cover

@ TheDevilsHalo;
I've just put you down on the queue, but just to be sure are you requesting a banner? Also I'd like to ask for more information, like something perhaps specific to the story in terms of setting or symbol as otherwise I have no idea what to put in the background!

It is! I'm honored to be your first cover~ If you end up making an account there let me know!

@ lungsmoke
It is a banner I'm after. As for the more information, the story is going to be about Dean Winchester, having to bring up his daughter after his girlfriend is killed... there's still going to be demons and his still going to hunt. I don't know if that helps at all!

@ pocahontas.
I have one, actually, but I only use it to save playlists for later

@ TheDevilsHalo;
Just PM'd you about the banner!

Hi! I'd like to make a request, if you don't mind. And I'll use your handy forms because as I said, that's handy

Story Link : here
Title : Catching a Breath in Silence
Genre : I'm going with a sad romance
Vibe : See above? Honestly, I'm still going with a depressive romance
Banner : Yes please, I'll fill out the banner form
Colour scheme : Not really picky. I'm more fond of a darker color scheme, just nothing bright in your face
Specific images : I'm fond of the demask look but I'm not picky
Personal preferences : I'm not picky on font or size but left aligned would be fantastic. Just something not in your face bright, its a little hard for me to read
Notes : Have a fantastic day?

BANNER REQ. FORM
Title : Catching a Breath in Silence
Other Text : A nice credit to you?
Dimensions : I honestly don't know. Fits?
Vibe : Depressing romance
Colour scheme : Darker color scheme
Specific images : If you could do something with this and this that would be fantastic
Personal preferences : None really.

Thank you very much!

Hi El! I remember you making me a banner several years ago for one of my stories and the banner is so perfect! When I saw that you have a shop up, I knew I needed one of your banners for one of new the stories I'm working on!

Title : Art of Moving On
Other Text : N/A
Dimensions : 500x300
Vibe : takes place in the city (NYC), so with city vibes, but it can be anything you're comfortable with
Colour scheme : I don't have a particular preference but if you want a good color scheme, i'd say to go for a red-ish/purple-is vibe
Specific images : Malese Jow and Mats Zuccarello
Personal preferences : N/A
Notes : I don't have a story page up yet, but I will definitely let you know whenever I do. If you'd prefer I have the story page up beforehand, let me know and I'd be more than happy to make one.

Also I'm not sure if I'm doing any help or I'm just being annoying, but I just want to leave the banner you made me here. You made it a long time ago and I thought it was one of the most beautiful things ever, so IDK if you want to use that as one of your examples for banners but:



(which was made for Relics of Regret)
