Whoa. It's been a while since I made a layout. I designed this a while ago and it's been sitting on my hard drive for months. It took me a few days to come up with good headers and other stylizations for this layout. I really like the headers for the content. I like the overlay effect. It's neat. I also like the navigation links. I think the hover effect is pretty drastic and unique. Overall, I'm pretty content with this design.
Inspiration, I believe, mainly came from the picture itself. I was going for a techy look seeing as she has wires coming out of her back and all. I also want to practice making tech-looking lines. And, well, I did. :] I name came to me in a dream from a list of vocabulary words I keep on my computer. (Yes. I'm a nerd.) Riven means to break or distress (the spirit, for example) in the definition I used. This is from the girl's expression and the fact she's clenching a stuffed bunny for "support". Also, the jagged white part fitting with the horizontal lines symbolizes a break as to further support the emphasis on riven. (Wow. Super analysis here.) I better stop before I hurt myself.
