Drummerpete Posted May 29, 2011 Author Share Posted May 29, 2011 I'm doing a couple of free-to-use website templates.The first one I'm doing is just kind of random, to be perfectly honest.I've spent maybe half an hour at most on this so far, and I'm just wondering if anyone has any suggestions regarding colours/placement etc…Here we go:http://www.freemmorpgmaker.com/files/imagehost/pics/e89edd5842bda2d3a02700f989f673e2.png>!

Helpmeplz Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Well just looks a background to me… Add more content for cc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drummerpete Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 @LegendWeaver:> Well just looks a background to me… Add more content for cc?There's a lot that could be commented on - the colour choice, the placement of the text, the contrast of the text - I'm still working on it, I just wonder if anyone has any ideas.The main reason I'm asking here is because these are templates that I'm releasing and chances are it'll only Eclipse would see them. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 I'd tend to say the gradients are too drastic. Also, put some lorem ipsum where the content is, it would make it more easy to visualize. The text is placed well, and I'd say the color of the text is great too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drummerpete Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 @Frosty:> I'd tend to say the gradients are too drastic.I agree about this with the city skyline, but if I wanted a longer gradient on the header it'd be pointlessly large. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 buttons are quite large, but nice font and color. Also, to make a less drastic gradient you could change the colors or make the gradient start/end earlier. The moon in the top left corner needs a teeny bit of work, maybe just a couple craters and possibly a sharp design instead of a sharp design Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drummerpete Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 The buttons won't look so large with content in, trust me.There's not much I can do to the moon since it's mostly covered in text.As for changing the gradient colours, it just wouldn't work.I actually think it looks fine. =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Socuine Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Mhm ..The transition from Sky to Heaven is bad, there should be more height within the transition, it's rather small which makes it compact. The buttons are too huge, it's drawing my attention which shouldn't.Colors are .. Meh-ish. They don't "appeal" me nor amaze me. Have I told you to use a Color Combination??http://www.colourlovers.com/blog/2007/08/29/forbidden-color-combinations/6/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drummerpete Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 Thanks Socuine - colour choice is still a bit difficult for me (there's so many of them? D:)I'll make the buttons smaller, play about with the colour and make the header a bit bigger (I was really reluctant to do this because I don't want a huge, useless banner.. But I'll see what I can do.Thanks a lot so fay, guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
