affiliates

Once you're done cruising around nonvideriDesigns, I suggest you visit these sites first and foremost. They are, in my opinion, some of the best sites out there, run by some of the best people. My short descriptions won't do them justice, so you'll have to see for yourself. Go ahead. Click a button.

Animeshare - Dark Lady Animeshare

Animeshare is huge. Chances are, if you haven't found what you're looking for, you'll find it here. It's also one of the more consistently mantained sites (4 years and counting) so it definitely isn't going to do the annoying disappearing act on you like a lot of other sites nowadays. You should go take a look and bask in the sheer immensity of this classic graphics site.

Aun Existe Amor - Aelyn AExA

I've been admiring Aelyn's graphics forever (I think her's was one of the first graphic sites I visited) and I was elated when she accepted my affiliation request. Her style is entirely her own, compact, elegant, and always beautiful. I feel like AExA speaks for itself, so please, give it a visit.

ChanLu Design - Charlotte and Rogelio CL

Charlotte and Rogelio each make a different style of graphic, which combines to make ChanLu Design one of the more sophisticated and unique sites out there. Their works show great skill, style, and organization, so I definitely suggest you take a look.

Digicreation - Veve DC

Veve's renowned throughout the web as a strong designer in both the coding and graphic aspects. She's been in this business longer than most sites today, and still delivers high-calibur layouts that balance innovation with functionality. I have only the deepest respect for her, so if you haven't already, check out DigiCreation.

Effluence - Fanta and Kalliel Eff

Their graphics are unique to the point where I look at mine and cry. They have sarcasm in abundance. They accepted me as their affiliate. Honestly, what's there not to like? It's as simple as this: when you or I throw purple, yellow, and green together, we get a Mardi Gras float. Not so with Fanta and Kalliel. They get something more like lush Victorian England. Amazing, but true.

Esaudrae - Elena Es

Elena does game layouts. Elena does dark game layouts. Wait, it gets better: Elena does dark game layouts with seamless chain borders. Amazing, right? She's the sort of affiliate nD's lucky to have, and Esaudrae exhibits a style seen nowhere else. (Seamless chain borders!)

Empires X - Leo EX

If anything, you probably got here through Empires X, it's that big of a deal in the webdesign community. Leo's ability to create techy, detailed, and very beautiful layouts blows me away; each of them could very well be a site layout. Check it out.

Harienju - Hieca Harienju

Hieca's site offers a multitude of J-rock graphics. There's other subject matter thrown in for variety, but J-rock is really what Harienju specializes in. And really, Hieca has grungy, punky elegance down to an art. She was one of my old affiliates, and now that she's returned, she's better than ever. Have a look.

Silent Rhapsody - Qin Pei SR

Qin Pei does darker-themed layouts, with rich colors, and she does it 1000x better than me. If I weren't trying to break into the designing world, I would use her premades for sure. And she's good with photos, which is something I admire greatly, and conveys the whole elegant and vintage atmosphere. Now, if you haven't already, click that button.

Vice - Kristine Vice

You may not have heard of Kristine, but I would find that hard to believe. Right now she's one of the few designers who can pull off Adobe Illustrator graphics with the finesse they need. Her modern, startling, color-wonderful works are almost a complete contrast with my own, so you'll definitely see something you haven't already at Vice.

affiliation - closed

...but you can still try and when it opens, I'll keep your site in mind. =]

If you would like to affiliate with nD, just head over to the contact page and fill out the form there. Put 'Affiliation Request' as your subject. There aren't any specific requirements besides being a graphics/art site; just remember, quality over quantity, and though you don't have to update regularly (as if I do), show you're dedicated to your site. That's all. If you must have some guidelines, I especially like sites with strong, smooth coding to complement the graphics. I'll reply to let you know what I think. Best of luck to you.
