dxxknight Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 So I got bored today and decided to practice on making GUI's. I did up a shop GUI and I need some criticism and ideas because I want to get better at GUI's to make my games look a little more "professional". Thanks alot for your time!>! *Note* Explain what your talking about a little so I can get get a good idea of what your talking about. Thanks!*Another Note* This GUI was inspired by Crystalshire's/silverdale's GUI style. But not nearly as good but I'll get there one day. ;)Thankies!***Updated***I personally think it looks better with out the actual buttons instead the words will be the buttons and here is an example of what it might look like if someone hoovers over sell. What do you guys think?>!  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldur Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I think everything looks good except for the buttons, they don't fit very well in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meisterstuck Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 It's beautiful, but yeah the buttons. I think it's just throwing me off because everything else is 2d and that's got a 3d look. Just use what you used to go around the item as the button border Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll work on fixing the buttons now :PNot everyone who plays your game has Azures eye sight. If you want them to be able to see it, just make it very clear and simple.

dxxknight Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 lol No this ain't for my game it's just for practice ^.^ and it was that big because I was working with it on a bigger scale because I always work better when I do it big then I just scale it down later but I forgot to scale it down.

slym Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 The pixels on that 2x zoom are blurry. If you are using photoshop, load the pixel art on a normal canvas. Go to image > Image size. Then double the size of the image. Then change the box that should normally say "Bicubic" to "Nearest Neighbor". Enter. Now your pixels are 2 pixels large! Yaya. Another thing is that the gold/yellow you are using changes throughout the GUI. Try to keep this color the same everywhere it appears. There's that same inconsistancy with the black 3px stroke that you have on the Shop type. Also that inner glow is a bit too harsh in my opinion. You could lower the opacity on that a tad. Nice work!Oh and never use Bevel/Emboss on anything other than text. Just don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
