So here are a few tips that could help you develop a strawpage for you!

CH.1 Maximalism 

Maximalism is all about organized mess, my own strawpage is following this style, with images and stickers thrown together to make a cluttered look.

I use multiple things to get it this way, first off we have a background remover, I use this because its very reliable, easy to use, and free.

 Next you'll need images to put on your strawpage, I recommend references to your favorite shows, for example I use a lot of Gumball references in mine, particularly using the work of Manu Javelle, an incredibly talented artist who's worked on multiple shows, e.e. The amazing world of gumball, Ivandoe, Ellliott from earth and a few others, her work as a prop designer is very useful for creating Maximalist looks.

The next tip I have is to use actual stickers Redbubble and Etsy have a wide range of fandoms and stickers styles to choose, a few ones I have used is :

Flower stamps 

 Random cozy thing

Kirby

Sonic

 Just scrolling through Etsy or Redbubble can give you tons of ideas for a theme or just things to put in your website.

You can also use Canva to layer these images together and make a test webisite in the moodboard, which has no size limit, its useful for testing what you want without having to re-do the entire website.

Websites like this and this are also very useful for specific texts or emoticons.

If I find any more useful or cute websites for little images i'll post them below this!

 

If you would like a specific style to be done you can gimmick me on my Strawpage or DM me on my twitter.com!




 

This will be updated with new themes every Thursday!
