History

Reverie’s Dreamland first started as a silhouette site for anime fans. Since everyone can now easily create their own silhouette images, I decided to stop making silhouette images and close the site. While scanning for a new anime wallpaper for my desktop, I stumbled upon countless wallpaper sites filled with good quality wallpapers containing varieties of effects. Despite the fact that I’d owned Photoshop CS2 9.0 for quite a while, I still thought that managing another site besides Traumerei Gallery was almost impossible due to the time management on the outside world. After researching through another batch of wallpaper sites, I finally fell upon Anime Purity. Anime Purity is a wallpaper site that focuses on quantity rather than quality. However, the owner of Anime Purity did make all of those images on her own. That was what inspired me to go back to webdesigning (though I was inspired in a strange way). This time, it was going to be a silhouette AND wallpaper site. I decided to keep the title, Reverie’s Dreamland. The idea was kept as the same until it was transformed into just a wallpaper site due to no one making use of the silhouette images.

It was during the second month when I decided to add little additions such as avatars and buttons, however, I made sure that visitors knew that the section wouldn’t be updated so often. Since Reverie’s Dreamland is mainly an anime wallpaper site, I will only add the wallpaper categories up on the navigation bar, instead of just a “wallpaper” section.

Later I decided to cancel the idea of adding banners and avatars have due to my time management. I have also decided to only do silhouette images during the summer due to how time consuming it is to make a completed image. I started on a PNG project to help visitors who wants to use them. I hope to make the PNG database just as big as my wallpaper database.

Falling Snow Reviews

Well, your site is the first design or anime site I’ve ever reviewed, so it was kind of hard for me to judge since I mostly review personal sites. I thought that your layout was awesome, and that you had a lot of good designs. But the information about you and your site was pretty lacking, and you made A TON of spelling errors… hmm…. Well, I did enjoy your site and had a fun time reviewing it. So this score will be based mainly on how you lived up to a design site. Your an awesome designer, so congrats, and keep it up!

City Lights Review

Now, at this point, if I were an unfair reviewer I might give you a 2 stars. Why? Because there’s nothing really at your site for me. I’m not interested in graphics and anime, and so I couldn’t be bothered to stay.
But the point of a reviewer is to be objective. And truthfully, your graphics and content are a amazing. Besides the issue of copyright violation, I’m sure those who visit your site for wallpapers and such are very pleased with it. Since you cater to them, I should rate from their point of view. However, your coding is pretty messy, some of your pages need work, and your layout needs fixing. These things bring you down. That’s why I’m giving you a three stars. Right now, you stand at average. I wish you luck in working on your site.

Tokyo-C Reviews

You are good with graphics, I won't lie. But put that talent to work in places that are your own and interesting! You did use thumbnails and multiple pages for wallpapers, ect. which is good for dialup users. Even so, I think that your site could still do with a lot of work. Hope to see your skills put to good use in the future though! As of now, I think that you should put a lot more thought into what you put up. Also, a variety of content wouldn't be a bad idea. What about a tutorial section for people who want to make their own PNGs or wallpapers?
