moc426 Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 buzz, I agree with them, the logo is still HUGE. that kinda of size is more for a print then a site. The design is looking good, but huge logo. Agree with cmd on the two row buttons as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myrddin Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Can I use Photoshop to make it? ?!?!?!?!?1 :? EDIT: New taster to my entry... Touch this with your cursor This won't win, probably isn't practical but it is shiny (the overall look, not this screenshot). This screenshot will be replacing the Camaro screenshot, but the Camaro will be in there somewhere.

barkbark00 Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Thanks guys. I was going to have just "pdn" for the header, but then I decided to be different... Quote Take responsibility for your own intelligence. 😉 -Rick Brewster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Man Dan Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Max +! I like the logo the size you have it now. It's prominent, but not overbearing. Since you have not much else in the header, and because it has a good amount of padding around it, it looks uniform and balanced. Very, very nice.

Stephan Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 I like it The clouds really come out good, did you make them with PDN? It does have the old classification, and i don't know if that's good or bad.. :? It ofcourse IS trusted, but less innovative... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzKill Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 @CMD Thank you, sir! @Stephan No, the clouds were not made in PDN. Less innovative than others... perhaps. I chose not to do a total overhaul for the sake of familiarity... Quote - DO NOT contact me asking for the .pdn of my avatar or the PDN logo. Thank you. Have a nice day.

usedHONDA Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 I have a suggestion for the clouds. To make it more realistic, use BB's Channel Blur to make the could blend in with the logo better.

usedHONDA Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 On the layer with the clouds, use the Gaussian Blur Channel effect with the slider set to Alpha.

BuzzKill Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Are you referring to this? As mentioned above, the clouds were not made in PDN. Therefore, they are not on a dedicated layer. Furthermore, after cropping and masking the cloud image used, I applied a white-to-transparent gradient on a layer above it, changed it's blending, merged it w/the cloud image, and then I masked it once more. In conclusion, using the Channel Blur (set to alpha) will have no effect. Quote - DO NOT contact me asking for the .pdn of my avatar or the PDN logo. Thank you. Have a nice day.

moc426 Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 buzz, I like it a lot. The header is large but it looks really good. Reason we complain about large header/logo, well reason I did anyway is because when I do websites, people want to get the most out of their space and they don't want the important stuff pushed that far down. But the design is really nice, only complaint is I don't like the awards. They are kinda zigzaging, not aligned, and not separated, but really if they were smaller size and aligned they would be ok. Great job on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzKill Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 The awards are aligned. They are aligned by way of the bottom of each award. Also, they are evenly spaced... +1 pixel for the last two... EDIT: It seems the space on either side of the C|NET one isn't equal... EDIT #2: Are you suggesting I align them by way of their center?

moc426 Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Yah that web user award one makes things awkward, center may work, but top may be better, you should experiment. Maybe make them smaller. Other than that, it looks great. The awards are aligned. They are aligned by way of the bottom of each award.
