[QUOTE=Lilyo;33515041]Is there something wrong with the anti aliasing for the text? It doesn't look nice and smooth.[/QUOTE] All of the text? Looks fine to me. Besides this is just a concept done through Photoshop so it probably look better as a webpage.
[QUOTE=imMonkeyGOD;33514150]I changed the title font as well. What do you think of the background now?[/QUOTE] Still think the gradient could be slightly less visible on the sides. But otherwise it's much better now. The title is more aligned in height with the buttons which is good and the pronounciation looks less slapped on. Text is nice and readable.
[QUOTE=barttool;33515152]how about something like this for the hovering (this quick animation I made) [IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25318683/lolUI.gif[/IMG][/QUOTE] wasnt that the whole idea from the first image?

I'm making a street map of some of my SimCity 4 cities. I'm aiming for a Google Maps-like style. Here's what I have so far (large image): [url]http://filesmelt.com/dl/roadmap1.png[/url] One thing I cannot figure out is ideal sizes and styles for the actual street names. I want to use Arial (same font Google Maps uses).
The beginning of a collage I have to make for school, drew the scene loosely, then coloured, now I have to edit my final model into the picture and stuff, but I'm not done my model yet (due tomorrow :S). Anyways, life injection into this thread, it can't leave the first page. (I realize the perspective is a bit wonky on the building on the left.)

Making a whole profile for a company together with 3 other classmates. I won't let out any details because I want to see if you can guess what it's about as is since we need some input on peoples first impressions. Here is the business card and logo. Drastic changes won't happen at this point, just alterations if anything.

Oh God. This logo can be interpreted in so many dangerous ways. Let the name guide you a bit. Footprint. I am glad that you actually noticed it was a person though. But it's more than just that.
travelling? he has a backpack on?
foot print profiling identity i dunno thats what the words look like
[QUOTE=Barnhouse;33630864]foot print profiling identity i dunno thats what the words look like[/QUOTE] And that my friend is also what they mean. Footprint is of course a play on words. I'll let you chew on it for a bit longer.
a company that prints ID cards?
I feel like it is kinda of bland right now, maybe it is the colour scheme (that blue makes stuff look boring imo). Should try making an actual footprint with a thumbprint-like texture. Also, it kind of looks like a three-eyed bird :P
Figured this would be the place to post this. My friend's band is looking for a logo , and I decided to take a shot at making one. [QUOTE][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/yy2Av.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] Here's a rough idea of what I was thinking. Any comments, suggestions or ideas of what else I could do with this? And before you point it out, I am aware that the tips of the points are cropped off, I'm not concerned about that at the moment.
i think you need to start fresh with some ideas about the kind of music the band play, what they stand for etc. at the moment it just looks like something put together with WordArt i get that it's meant to be the compass star, but you really need to work on this. at the moment it's just a dull typeface on a dull image, there's nothing interesting about it and there's very little idea behind it
Hehe. Well, the logo is a footprint, but with the focus put on the person in it. The person is again made up from an ink splotch. The company was previously called Nilz, we came up with the name fotprint. They are currently split into two, Jupiter which is their clothing store and Nilz which is their print company that prints shirts for regular customers as well as companies. They've started to expand to all sorts of profile related merchandise, which basically means everything from work clothes to pens with their logos on. The idea behind the logo is that a footprint is part of our identity, Fotprint helps your company leave their own footsteps creating their own future. Profile merchandise is all about identity, and as such the man is highlighted in blue. Blue is the most business appropriate colour, we've tried every other colour and there is really nothing else that works other than blue. Red becomes instantly childish. And of course the name itself is a play on word with fot and print, since they do profile printing. Originally the idea was that there was a small foot inside a big foot (Lion King scene) to represent how they will always grow and become better as well as indicating the whole identity, future and jazz. But it become cluttered, messy and childish. Identity and Profiling was originally planned to be separated with two different colours, identity being more towards a red scale since it's more personal and for normal people rather than business people, but as mentioned it becomes to childish. So in the end blue was the only colour that worked, the man is enhanced with said colour which makes him more visible than the foot (which can give too many wrong associations on it's own with foot massage, scouts, traveling and such) and the name is a play on words on what they do.

Nilz wants to be taken more seriously and we take it all the way out.
Thanks for the feedback Autumn. [QUOTE=Autumn;33632509]i think you need to start fresh with some ideas about the kind of music the band play, what they stand for etc. [...][/QUOTE] They play rock, most of the covers that they do are Nirvana and Green Day. Not quite sure "what they stand for" or what that really even means. :v: Anything I did right? :v:

I'm really new into this typography stuff, how would you make this movie title look nicer (it's for a "movie ticket")? [img]http://localhostr.com/files/uCFoPip/veryprof.png[/img]
I never designed anything so go easy on me. Its supposed to be a homepage. Some suggestions how to improve it? [sp]By improve I mean at least make it look less shitty[/sp] [t]http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2011/343/7/2/website_test_by_n03de-d4ilptv.jpg[/t]
Since the feedback was great last time, I'm going to try this again. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/fdQNC.jpg[/IMG] I tried using rule of thirds and some simplistic style, but i'm not entirely happy with it atm. Input hugely appreciated.

[QUOTE]A homepage for what? [/QUOTE] Not exactly sure jet but I guess for some of my drawings and another section for tools I plan to program. I'm doing this mainly because my instructor said it would be a good thing if I would actually make a homepage and fill it with stuff and I thought why not at least make it look a bit nicer than some tables with text in them. The drawings/programs part was the reason for the "tecnical" look on the left and the "artistic" look on the right.
the mix of crisp, straight shapes and smudged, swirly shapes is quite bad
[QUOTE=kevlar jens;33644930]the mix of crisp, straight shapes and smudged, swirly shapes is quite bad[/QUOTE] So what do you suggest changing? All crisp or all smudged shapes? What is so bad after all if I want to make a statement that on this page that there are two basically things things on this page? This should act as the starter page from where you go on different pages.
[QUOTE=D3TBS;33644603]can I ask you what is this for? As in, what theme and whats it about? And what type of school are you in? [editline]9th December 2011[/editline]A homepage for what?[/QUOTE] I'm in the architecture program at University of Manitoba. We had to design a "station" that would respond to a fictional narrative we devised plus to the real conditions of the site, which for us, was Osborne Street. My idea involved a structure built within the underpass, plus a labyrinth of tunnels that run underground in a 600 x 600 area around the underpass. For our project we had to construct a model and make a perspective montage with it. My model is a piece of shit in my opinion, but it depicts how 3 different shaped tunnels would connect.

[img]http://localhostr.com/files/uCFoPip/veryprof.png[/img][/QUOTE] I'm not great at typography either, but I imagine with something simple like that you could play with varying font types and sizes and weights, I would choose to emphasize the word professional or guys whichever is more important to the movie.
thats pretty cool, how is architecture?
