RGDC Banner Logo

[winkio]

Just thought I'd ask for some feedback on this:

Spoiler: ShowHide

It's the logo for a club I'm running.  Anyways, my idea was to convert a significant university building into a video game console.  That building can be found here:

I made it all in fireworks using vectors with pixel patterns, no photoshop here.

EDIT: possible website layout:

EDIT3: the site is now live, so I locked the topic.

broken image...

[Spaceman McConaughey]

Not broken at all, either of them.

It looks great, I just think you could do a tad more with the white text, y'know?

[winkio]

Yeah, I have to come up with a background and get some good text, like you said, but this is for a website, so I'm saving those for after I've created the website's theme.

[Spaceman McConaughey]

Cool. Look forward to seeing it when it's done.

So, from what I gather, you're attending Rice University?
Cool, I'll see you there in a month.

[winkio]

Ha, you will never get past the flaming heat barrier without first getting the fire cape from the dodongo's cavern.

[Spaceman McConaughey]

We'll see. Only time will tell. Just make sure I do not make it to the dean's office. >:3

[Ryex]

I can;t see the banner you've made. I tried getting it it directly but it just hangs.

[Blizzard]

Epic.

Same here.

EDIT:
Nevermind, it loaded finally. Looks good. 

[Ryex]

well what do ya know loads for me now too . looks awesome. but I agree with Brandon that the text needs some work.

[Spaceman McConaughey]

Branden* you whore. D: <

Also, wink, are those speakers on the building?

[winkio]

yeah, on the sides.

dam-it!  I knew it was one or the other and was going to go with the e but then went with the o at the last second!

Updated the first post with a rough website design.

[G_G]

Nice job winkio! I think it looks pretty good.

[winkio]

yay, positive feedback!  Although I have to admit, the pixel pattern is a bitch with resizing, it always misaligns.  I've found a short term solution, I think, by getting creative with tables.  I'll link to the template once I get it online.

I gave you positive feedback, too. >:|

that was in response to everyone you jackass >:#

EDIT: update first post with link to the basic template in action.

[G_G]

Gross tables. :x Use divs instead. You should cut each part out into its own image and create divs for them.

[winkio]

Why does it matter?  I would produce exactly the same result, visually speaking.

[G_G]

Visually no difference but you get so cluttered with all these tags. It just seems more efficient using div tags is all, its how I was taught in web design. 1 year ago I would have done the same thing as you. I'm not saying its bad or anything, I just don't like the clutter it produces.

[winkio]

I mean it's either a td or a div, I'm still using CSS with the tables I have now, so the code looks exactly the same.

EDIT: I don't mean to hate or anything, but if you look at the source for this site, the top center div is nested inside the top right div is nested inside the top left div, which doesn't make any sense when you think about it.  With tables, code corresponds directly to results.

        <div id="top-bgL"> 
	 <div id="top-bgR"> 
	  <div id="top"> 
	  </div> 
	 </div> 
	</div>

Yeah, tables are probably the only proper way to align this nicely the way you want.

OMG, DID SOMEBODY WAFFLE YOUR MOUTH?! That must've hurt!

[winkio]

ah nvm, I see how absolute positioning works, so I guess you don't actually need to nest divs.  I think I'll try that.

EDIT: okay, so I have a new template done in CSS with no tables and now I'm trying to add a site menu at the top, with buttons inside each of the arches that show the name of their link destination above the CD drive thing on the left on mouseover.  I looked it up and it's possible, but like doing anything in CSS, it's going to take a lot of time.

[winkio]

Fuck the edit button, I feel like legally doubleposting.

I updated the site.  It has a cool menu at the top, although there are no other pages, so there are no links or anything.  I still think it's pretty cool.  Same address as before: http://winkio.heliohost.org/index.html
