The history
Yoko was formed on May 05th 2007 and opened soon after that. Formely known as airashi designs and kyousei designs which all closed down (airashi was up for quite a long time while kyousei was there for only a few days), I hope Yoko won't end up to be the same. I closed down my older sites because I was ashamed of my work. Compared to all of the other sites out there, mine was nothing.The name
I got the name Yoko Cafe from a well-known, little cafe near our place (not really but you get the point). It's owned by one of my mom's many friends, and I loved the name. And you've guessed it, the Cafe was called Cafe Yoko, or in other words Yoko Cafe.The purpose
I can't even remember the purpose of my graphics designing. I started in mid 2005, creating VERY crappy avatars and signatures for me and a few more people in a forums. Then "web design" started to grow on me. I started with neopets (creating pet pages), where people requested for guild banners and such. I also made a fan forums, which started off nicely. That was like, at the beginning of 2005 or even the end of 2004. All of my stuff were designed using paint then (FYI, I don't play neocrap anymore). But, like I said, my mom installed Photoshop for me on mid 2005, and that's where I started experimenting with the tools. At the time, I thought splashing-a-few-default-brushes-and-adding-stupid-text was good and people would love them. xD My, was I wrong. My first website was the simplest website ever. There wasn't even a layout nor any CSS. >_>;
