truthfully, I'd like to suggest that I'm a straight-forward creator with how I lay down my levels, but generally, my building process goes something like this:

• find a song and offset it in-game however I seem fit.

• make the whole level's layout — normally takes abt 30m to 45m

• get a color palette, either make my own or just nab one.

• lay down my color palette, an options trigger and a bg trigger

• go to the bottom of the part I want to decorate, and make a structure similar to the ones in the part I'm beginning to decorate and make the design I want to use for the part.

• once I'm done, lay down the decoration I made at the bottom of the level throughout the part. modify where it should be.

• rinse and repeat the two above
