How to Use Emo for MySpace Layouts
Nowhere has the emo genre gathered more steam than on MySpace, which allows you to customize your profile to show off how you're feeling or looking on any particular day. Whether you choose to use pre-made layouts or create your own, stick to a few basic rules to keep your page thoroughly emo.
Things You'll Need:
MySpace account
Step
1
Choose the easy route and dedicate your MySpace page to an emo band. Post a huge background photo of the band or one of its album covers on both your main page and blog layouts.
Step
2
Use bold colors. While black and white are staples, try bringing red, hot pink and turquoise into your layouts. Small splashes of bright colors, perhaps in the form of hearts, skulls or stars, will create an emo feel for your page.
Step
3
Add small images, like broken hearts, knives or sad cartoon characters, to each section on your page. These all invoke an emo feeling.
Step
4
Post photos of yourself as graphical elements of the MySpace layouts. Close-up photos of you looking sad or serene not only make your page a bit more emo, but they also let you bring yourself into the layout more.
Step
5
Show off your art. If you draw or paint, use your art as the focal point for your MySpace layouts. Even a simple drawing in the corner can add a whole new look to your page.
Step
6
Pick an emo template if you aren't art or tech savvy. Pulseware and Free Code Source offer huge selections of emo-inspired templates to use on your MySpace page while Emo Bucket has a slew of MySpace resources (see Resources below).
Step
7
Make sure your MySpace is readable. Since most emo layouts tend to stand on the darker side, check your page on a couple of different computers or browsers to make sure it looks the way you intended.
Tips & Warnings
If you decide to use a template, consider changing up some of the elements used to personalize it. Text color, background color and box location are all easily modified on MySpace.
Check MySpace's profile editor to see what templates are being offered. Since templates change depending on the sponsor, you may be able to create the emo layout you want without much effort.
