[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/QKjtK.jpg[/IMG] it'd be something like this. I don't know where the scar is though
I have no idea how you have such a hard time with the body shape when it's literally copy pasted. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/VCUvJ.jpg[/IMG] And Thanks for the colour suggestion, It does seem to tie it together a bit better.

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/VCUvJ.jpg[/IMG] And Thanks for the colour suggestion, It does seem to tie it together a bit better.[/QUOTE] The hair on the right side is not copy pastaed correctly, it doesn't look like hair. The hat I know is copy pastaed, and that is the problem. As I said, when it is an image you have a clear definition of what is the underside and what is the upperside of the hat, when it is a silhouette you have no definition at all and as such the form makes it look like it covers most of what is supposed to be his face. And again, the part about the pistol where you misinterpreted it to be part of the body. [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3655193/ClintPistol.jpg[/img]
its really fine
I think it was pretty clear the first time
[QUOTE=Barnhouse;33496567]its really fine[/QUOTE] It's not fine when a person misinterprets the hair to be a cigarette and another person (me) thinks the hat covers the whole face. I would never be satisfied with a work that could be misinterpreted that heavily.
fix the little error with the pistol and make the little flick of hair more flicky
Alright, Done that. I'm probably going to leave it there before you all get sick and tired of seeing it [t]http://i.imgur.com/dO2RI.jpg[/t] Now to send it off to a printing website [sp]and get it back in the wrong colours anyway.[/sp]
Why the heck aren't you fixing that pistol? You've chopped off his shoulder as it is right now. It takes you 5 seconds to fix and makes it look better. Minimalism is all about squeezing the details, don't leave such a big chunk hanging. Other than that and I think the scar is completely out of place and crashes with the shape of the hat, it looks good.
Oh shit, now I see what you're talking about with the pistol- and I suppose I should remove the scar whilst i'm at it. I'll fix them tomorrow
Working on a website design concept. This is just the blog portion. [QUOTE][IMG]http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc209/imMonkeyGOD/Machuno.png[/IMG][/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=imMonkeyGOD;33499761]Working on a website design concept. This is just the blog portion.[/QUOTE] Hot. although I've seen this design before. It looks like a tumblr theme.
[QUOTE=imMonkeyGOD;33499761]Working on a website design concept. This is just the blog portion.[/QUOTE] I like the setup very much. But I would tone down that gradient, it is too strong and pronounced. With background gradients I feel that they should just be there and give a feel of being more than just a plain single-coloured background rather than actually being visible. In other words; it should look like a single-coloured background but feel like it isn't. The text on the images are also eaten away here and there, I would suggest making the transparent black box slightly less transparent.
if any of you guys need any inspiration for some new work, or anything like that, here is a .zip of live briefs that are being shared around my university coursemates at the moment [url]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19936378/designbriefs2011.zip[/url] (PM me for the password, since this is an open forum i don't want anybody and everybody accessing them)

Funny how I never go on Tumblr at all. I toned down the gradient and it looks nicer. The problem about making the black box more transparent is it makes the white text less readable on some images. I feel like the title of the blog post looks a bit off (THIS SUMMER). What do you think?

Since there is no UI design thread? [IMG]http://localhostr.com/files/ZbyZlFe/nr_menu.png[/IMG] Critique? And any ideas on what I should do with the 'logo'?

[QUOTE=clb;33510004]It really bugs me that the menu bars are not the same length.[/QUOTE] That's on purpose.
only the one you're currently on should be longer, which i'm guessing is Singleplayer Server Browser is slightly longer than the others, and it looks bad
[QUOTE=dgg;33508467]I said [I]less[/I] transparent. The white text is hard to read.[/QUOTE] Whoops. Bad reading. Guess I'll make the text bigger and that black bar less transparent.
[QUOTE=Autumn;33511255]only the one you're currently on should be longer, which i'm guessing is Singleplayer Server Browser is slightly longer than the others, and it looks bad[/QUOTE] Yeah. I imagine it's supposed to be something like this: [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10392306/FixedConceptDesignMenu.jpg[/img] [editline]EDIT[/editline] I'm thinking, maybe the selected one should be even longer, now that I look at it again...
[QUOTE=imMonkeyGOD;33511295]Whoops. Bad reading. Guess I'll make the text bigger and that black bar less transparent.[/QUOTE] Don't make it bigger, the font size is perfect as is. It just needs to be more readable.
The original "smoothed" selection indicator does look wonky... [IMG]http://localhostr.com/files/mPzz5dI/nr_menu.png[/IMG] I'm also thinking of centering it: With: [IMG]http://localhostr.com/files/paVdu51/nr_menu_r2.png[/IMG] Without: [IMG]http://localhostr.com/files/ahDwyCC/nr_menu_r2.png[/IMG] Centering it will make better use of space and I won't encounter any safe-area problems.
just keep them aligned, it'll look much better
[QUOTE=Autumn;33513085]just keep them aligned, it'll look much better[/QUOTE] Ok :D

Don't center them. Also, make all the bars the same length except the one you're hovering over. [QUOTE=imMonkeyGOD;33514150]I changed the title font as well. What do you think of the background now?[/QUOTE] Is there something wrong with the anti aliasing for the text? It doesn't look nice and smooth.
[QUOTE=DevBug;33512951]The original "smoothed" selection indicator does look wonky... Centering it will make better use of space and I won't encounter any safe-area problems.[/QUOTE] how about something like this for the hovering (this quick animation I made) [IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25318683/lolUI.gif[/IMG]
