I was a bit bored so I threw this together...
Concept (http://www.fleshandwire.com/Concept.jpg)
Up Close (http://www.fleshandwire.com/Concept_Close.jpg)
I would use the system menu for pull downs [reviews, previews, release, etc.]
I also thought maybe the color of the bars in the title could change depending on what system you were looking at.
I didn\'t fill the whole thing out but I\'m sure you can imagine what it would look like. The space on the top_right and right would be used for ads.
I\'m considering this an early concept, it certainly needs more of an edge.
Could be fun to see what other people could come up with.

mmmm I\'ll reply. Looks good, but about the whole new website thing, I don\'t think we\'ll get much support for a new main site until pre-PS3 hype has hit its prime. That would be a great time to put up a site, but if we can get one up before then then great.
ps- I think a light blue theme like the colors in Cyrus\' avvy would work great with the site.
-
Cyrus\' avvy looks green.
-
It\'s bluish green you guys...
Thanks for the reply but I\'m only playing around. I just got MX Studio and I\'m diving in getting some practice until I build my own site. (a portfolio for my 3d stuff)
I\'ve already redesigned most of the concept and I\'m trying to assemble it in Dreamweaver.

Redesigned Header Graphic (http://www.fleshandwire.com/Titlebar.png)
Ignore the blue around it, I guess that\'s a fireworks default for the transparent space.
I\'ve decided that I want it as a portfolio piece so I\'m going to construct the whole thing. I need to know if I can continue using the Videogame Journal name or not. I\'m not going to upload it as a fully functioning site, just a showcase.
While I\'m at it, any of you familiar with flash or fireworks. I couldn\'t figure out where to import my library items from flash to dreamweaver or fireworks...anyone know how or if I can do that?
Thanx

Design 2 (http://fleshandwire.com/VGJ/VGJournal.htm)
So it\'s not a finished work but I like where I\'ve taken it. It loads a bit slow at this point but that\'s because I have everything as high quality jpeg\'s, nothing is flattened.
The "Forum" link should work;)
I\'m going to add some small metal clamps to "join" the different plates. I haven\'t figured out what exactly to do with the bottom half, it feels off balance at this point.
Critique it, tell me what\'s good about it and what could be worked on.
Again, this is not for the real main site. This is just me playing around getting some pratice in design, and some time later I\'ll be wanting a critique on functionallity.
Thanks

This is the beginning of PS3 storm... the perfect storm :)

There are 115 views on this thread, and only one reply that had a suggestion or otherwise.
I\'m not sure whether it\'s a general disinterest or you guys are sparing my feelings. I welcome any constructive criticism concerning the design.
-
I like the wide header.
It\'s hard to judge it without seeing it with content included. The text and pictures that will be included in the page could change how I feel about it. (might make it look too busy)
-
Thank you!
At this point I\'m concerned with the layout. I decided to keep the current header design but modify it slightly to make room for a better looking menu.
(might make it look too busy)
I had the same concern so I\'ve decided to get rid of the three "plates" and instead opt for some regular layers.
I\'ll post the result tomorrow (with some content):)
Thanx
-
can others submit design concepts? I have a banner that I designed a long time ago that never got used for anything and might be great for a header

MPTheory, I don\'t want to see your trash in my thread.
:P
I encourage you to post it, maybe we\'ll get some others to play around and just maybe it will motivate Bjorn and mm to do something with the main site.
