Yata Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Here it is, I'm very pleased with it.. It sort of reminds me of Helio's take on skinning PdN, but it's my style and just came as I went along, nothing intended, Helio :wink: Click for larger view: I tried to keep it as simple and sleek as possible, sometimes less is better. I choose not to add adsense adds just for the graphical effect and I think it would have distracted from my point. The only image I didn't make was the RSS symbol which is located at http://getpaint.net/images/feed-icon-12x12.png Enjoy, I know I did creating it Quote "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former" [ dA Paint.NET Chat :: Yata on dA ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephan Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Instead of my usual "OMG, there's so much silver my eyes hurt!", I've gone for Back in black this time There's even orange in it :O. EDIT: I used the HUGE PdN logo for the top Logo, and the Camero for the screen. It just didn't feel right without it EDIT BY ME: Made the picture show up on the screen, instead of a link, for more votes on my side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barkbark00 Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 I got lazy + someone put in a good movie, so I didn't get to make another entry.

Crazy Man Dan Posted July 24, 2007 Author Share Posted July 24, 2007 Nothing quite like waiting 'til the last minute... >_> [ Full Size Mock up ] The only non-PDN image used is the Official RSS Logo. Also, the body text is a screenshot of actual text on a web-page for the realistic sharp anti-aliasing that Clear-Type gives and PDN can't and the text-align:justify effect I use everywhere. I would have liked to mess around with the colors some more, but alas, time is of the up-ance...

Crazy Man Dan Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 The Voting line! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alright guys, we can't do this the same way we did last time, since we have too many entries to use the built-in poll system. So, we're just going to have to improvise. To vote, you have two options: Option 1: Post a new message in this topic with the name of the person for whom you'd like to vote. Feel free to give the peeps their props by including the reasons why you're voting for them. Don't let the votes of the people that have posted before you sway you: vote for the one you like the bests. Option 2: If you'd prefer a bit more privacy, you can PM your vote to me. Include the name of the person for whom you'd like to vote. Both options carry the same voting weight, so use whichever way is more comfortable / convenient for you. Know, though, that I will be keeping track of the votes and the voters. If anyone tries to vote twice by both posting and PMing, both their votes will be nullified. I don't think anyone here would try that, but just in case... :wink: Voting will be open for 7 days, so get your votes in before the end of the 31st of July. Cheers!

Crazy Man Dan Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 Yes, I know I'm triple-posting, but I'm moderating this thing, and each post was for a specific purpose. I may as well get this voting thing started. My vote is for: BuzzKill The why: That mock is just schmancy. The clouds are well integrated, and the colors are smooth and non-distracting. The menu bar is well done, with the text small but readable. The biggest compliment I have is that it has generous amounts of the one thing most sites forget: padding. Padding is the single most important thing to keeping a website readable, and this mock nails it. I'd also like to throw out some props to barkbark00 - very classy color scheme and original logo - and moc426 - excellent organization and quote / screenshot integration. And a huge thanks to everyone who entered for participating.

moc426 Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 well my vote goes to Crazy Man Dan cmd, the most professional looking of the entries. I like the nav bar and down to the copyright. My complaints are the extra colors around, which are the tiled background and the black header. I think the header with a cloudy sky like buzz's header would have fit there perfect or an image with sky,mountains,clouds like the pdn logo. buzzkill, altho a very nice design, I just can't see it practically used for a website because of the large header. I can't not look at that and think that is big valuable real estate space, but really nice job on the clouds header none the less. I also like the transparent background, it is something I like to do with sites but it doesn't usually come out right for me, I wanted to do that on this and ended up scratching that. barbbark00, nice theme going but I can't picture that as the pdn site. The design is nice but I don't see anything that resembles pdn when I look at it because the logo is so different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whisnart Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 i liked theplug that is my vote it was nice on the eyes but had color at the same time and is a nice set up Quote my guildwars guild sitehttp://www.worldzwar.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barkbark00 Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 My vote is for moc426. I was torn between him and BuzzKill (with his sweet nav bar and header!). Moc had a more original layout and the flow of his mock-up seemed to bring out the key points of interest a little better. Anyway, good luck to all!

Myrddin Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I vote for BuzzKill. I don't usually like themes centred around air or designs which are too open but this one really works well, and with little layout change (i.e. text, example screenshot) it isn't too much of a shock or confusion-setting for regular visitors. It's easy on the eyes and it just works. I can see this design being used for an actual website and this was the reasoning for my voting, could it be a real website? Following on from BuzzKill, I liked (in order of appearance) Yata's; barkbark00's and CMD's all of whom were very close contenders but didn't quite clinch it for me. Apologies for not entering myself but recently I've been preoccupied by other duties and a few problems, however, I will try to finish mine off and show it in the Pictorium but when that will be I don't know for sure. Good luck to all in the voting period. Quote How to Save Your Images under Different File Types My dA Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usedHONDA Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Grrr, I didn't get to submit my entry... *grumble grumble* Just goes to show, never go more than one day without posting (my last post was on the 23rd). This was a tough vote. Very tough. As a matter of fact, I had to use Random to decide it.
