 Posted: Mon Jul 07, 2003 3:23 pm Post subject: Need suggestions on improvement |
 |

http://www.clanfrancium.com/news.php
First off, I know I need to resize the logo (I had momentarily forgotten that not everybody uses resolutions higher than 1024x768).
I need some suggestions on what I can do for the background of the header. I wasn't too keen on the equalizer-style lines to begin with, as a friend had made it for me. I've tried a few different things which all turned out like crap, and I am just not getting any good ideas. A friend noted that it looked too empy up on the right-hand side as well.
It is a Half-Life 2 site, and I do have a couple of good images I want to put up there. One is of a guy standing, but he has some white luminosity (being lighted by white) and that looks horrible with a black / dark theme.
Otherwise, what does everybody think overall? C&C (comments and critiques) welcomed, both good and bad. I'm hoping to get this site open to the public soon, and just haven't had much chance to ask people for feedback. |

Ok, changed the background of the header to a grid, made the main logo smaller, and added some random pictures to show up on the right. |

well, you've got a great idea and the placement is awesome... color scheme could be a little maybe brighter and you need to clean it all up and make it look complex or cleaner

Thanks for the reply 
Yeah, there were a few things I sill am wanting to change to make it a little better, such as the scrollbar colors, and the phpbb's row1 and row2 colors, but for the most part, it is supposed to be a bit dark, mixed in with the bright orange.

Maybe it's the lack of coffee today, but I don't really understand what you mean by this. It seems that you're saying I should either make it more complex, or make it simpler :-s
One other thing I was thinking about was maybe resizing the buttons down a little bit, but I'm not sure yet on that. Would it look tacky if the button images changed to a 'down' position when the mouse hovers over it? |

heh no it's my lack of a brain, i just feel it needs to be more complex like all ur stuff is big and spread out like you grid which should be a lot smaller... if you made the mouse-over buttons smaller it would mess up ur spacing and everythign would shift the other icons when you moused over them

hmm.. right now it's at a 20x20 pixle grid, I'll see how it looks starting from probably 5x5 or so.
As for the size of the buttons, do they seem a bit overwhelming there in the header? I think they look fine, but then I change to smaller resolutions and they look pretty big, and seem to take up more header space than I'd like. Guess I'll have to play with that a bit too.
Thanks a bunch for your crits, it's really appreciated |
