The Breakthrough has gone through different chapters and different layouts. Each with a different emotion, color and theme.

Version 2// Emerge

Name: Emerge
Type: Iframes
Date: August 15-September 30. 2006
About:This is prehaps one of favorite layouts that I created. It feautures beautiful CG Art by Sunmi H., a talented artist. I was thankful that she allowed me to use her artwork. This was the turning point for me because my CSS skills had become better compared to the first site's layout. It uses really nice colors, perfect for the last few days of an endless summer. The main them song was "Number One" by Pharrell.

Version 3// Captivate Me

Name: Captivate Me
Type: Iframes/Tables
Date: September 30- December 2. 2006
About:This is the longest lasting so far. It features one of my favorite characters from the show, Admiral Zhao. When I put it up I was like "Oh god, there going to hate me for this". But alot of people actually liked it, I got a lot of good feedback. As always I have a main song for the layouts, this one was "Anywhere" by Evanescence. It fitted perfectly with the layout and the season. It uses soft browns, perfect for autumn, and this layout was regreted when I took it down. But the holiday had to be up.

Version 4// Joy to the World

Name: Joy to the World
Type: Iframes/Tables/DIV
Date: December 2. 2006- January 6, 2007
About:This layout took a while to perfect and in the end it came out perfect! It was holiday layout for The Breakthrough and it seemed to brighten up everyone's moods for the holiday. The image was really pretty, and colors were soft and warm and it held the Christmas Spirit. Princess Yue was the perfect character for Christmas and she kind of resembled it to. The Ponissettia was my personal touch, part of my heritage, this layout was the best one for The Breakthrough so far. It is terribly missed after the layout was changed, but I'll make another one like it next year with the same colors but different images. I wished I could've left on longer.

Version 5// Fields of Gold

Name: Fields of Gold
Type: Iframes/DIV
Date: January 6, 2007- Feb 16, 2007
About: This layout was all fired up for the Book 3 Fire premier though its flame was extingushed during the revamp. I love the red and gold shades to the layout. The gold were the content went reminded of Fields of Gold. The image about features Zhao during that Agni Kai match between him and Zuko. Once agian I used him agian!

Version 6// Come Clean

Name: Come Clean
Type: Iframes/Tables
Date: Feb 16, 2007- April 6
I competely redid the website, I moved from freewebs to paidwebhosting and bought domain. I wanted to create something eye catching and rememberable. I spent probably two weeks creating and coding this layout. There was also three other skins for this version. Each skins used the same color scheme and set up but different headers.

Version 7// Flames to Dust, Enemies to Brothers

Name: Flames to Dust, Enemies to Brothers
Type: Table
Date: April 6- May 25, 2007
This was the The Breakthrough's first table layout and it was one of the best. This layout proved to everyone that I was here to stay and I am no longer a little website on freewebs but a striving new breakthrough. I tried a grunge look for it.

Rebirth .08// Heroe

Name: Heroe
Type: Table
Date: May 25, 2007-October 10, 2007
Instead of using screencaps from an episode, I decided to use fanart for the layout. I love Nashidesei's avatar artwork, when I saw this artwork of an unlikely shipping couple, I had to use it! This layout was ocean themed, hence the blue colors. This is my all time favorite layout. Looking back on it, this layout was a pain in the butt: it didn't work in Firefox, the table coding was terrible, and overall it was too fat. Though the artwork was gorgeous and I liked the feel to it.

Rebirth .09// Too Young

Name: Too Young
Type: Table
Date: June 9, 2007- August 8, 2007
This was a father day gift, I made it in about three hours, it didn't really come out that good. It was another skin for the website and lasted about a month and half.

Rebirth .10// It's My Life

Name: It's My Life
Type: Table
Date: June 18-October 10, 2007
One of the layouts I made for season 3, and a layout for the guys. I went for grunge style again. The neutral browns and red balanced out nicely but the text should have been more legible and perhaps Zhao shouldn't have been popping on on the left side of the screen.

Version .11// reLiVe

Name: Relive
Type: Table
Date: July 13-October 10, 2007
Went for something original, stylish, and unique. I used artwork of Toph by Teshea, Toph is awesome! I created the shape of the header by using the shape tool, I also used some gradients and patterns I created. This layout didn't use any brushes! Psshhh, this layout butchered the color green! Too many patterns, it looked like a bad quilt. Overall it was just too busy, though it did have good feedback.

Version .12// Aki No Sora

Name: Aki no Sora
Type: DIV
Date: August 2007-November 2007
This is one of the most original Avatar layouts created. It featured a minor character who doesn't come across mind very often, but is rememberd. Jeong Jeong has an autumn essence, making him perfect for this layout. Overall the colors were warm and it felt like autumn. Next time, don't use such brigh colors and this was the last layout to every use parts of the main image in the headers.

Version .13// Temperature

Name: Temperature
Type: Table
Date: October 10, 2007-now
I wanted something sexy and sleek. Temperature was a new look from Breakthrough Designs.com. The layout uses awesome artwork by Armadayu and Breakthrough Designs signature, Zhao. This layout made B-D.com popular, it was the start of my new found style, a style that uses tons of gradients and endless overlay and soft light effects.

Version .14// Celebrate the Day

Name: Celebrate the Day
Type: Table
Date: November 30 2007-January 6, 2008
Oh my, this is my favorite layout of all time. The color scheme was original and so was the design of the layout. The main header had a snowy look and feel to it, the background looked like it was snowing, and the overall colors felt like Christmas. For once it actually felt like Christmas, this layout is going to be up again during Christmas 2008.
