Re: Somcom 2.0 - dmpdesign - 2009-12-18
Reposted the main page with about the best I can do to line everything up at this point.
Please give me some feedback.
Re: Somcom 2.0 - Hguols - 2009-12-19
Wow! The new page looks great!
I just saw (for the first time) the request for gifs for the logos.
Anything in particular in mind?
(I know what OF, but what do you want it to DO?)
Re: Somcom 2.0 - dmpdesign - 2009-12-19
I wonder if we should do a .gif or some sort of flash animation?
Any ideas gang?
Re: Somcom 2.0 - Hguols - 2009-12-19
I think it would look funny to do a animated GIF for Diadem of Maunstraut and Trismegistus and NOT for Dark Destiny.
A GIF that repeats an animation would look better than a single loop one.
I think even something simple would work. Like a home made fade.
I think the forums, add-ons, links, games, installation, tutorial and add-ons tabs would look good with a single loop animation.
I have those for the biography, discography, etc. sections on hguols.com, but those aren't seen until after you click on the left menu.
Those are just my thoughts.
Re: Somcom 2.0 - dmpdesign - 2009-12-19
I agree Tom, if we do one we have to do them all.
Could we start with the three games on the right and see how that goes?
Re: Somcom 2.0 - Hguols - 2009-12-19
I can try the 3 games first and see what I can come up with.
I think the best bet would be a looping gif, but something subtle.
The reason I say looping is because with how much stuff is on the page, one loop would be complete before the entire content on the page is loaded.
I'm thinking like a very slight "pulsing" effect....
I'm booked for today (Saturday) with a work related Christmas party (which will be FUN), but I'll see about taking a whack at it tomorrow.
Re: Somcom 2.0 - Hguols - 2009-12-21
My apologies for the delay. I would have really had this done sooner in the day, but I've been geeked out over some "soundfont" confusion. (Please help get me to this promised land John)
Anyway, here are the subtle and relatively small animated GIFs for the 3 games. They'd be a little less subtle if it weren't that board's white background.

Re: Somcom 2.0 - dmpdesign - 2009-12-21
Very nice, i will upload these to the main page tomorrow at work :)
Re: Somcom 2.0 - Hguols - 2009-12-21
ok, what do you think about similar animated GIFs for the other click-able things on the main page? They wouldn't take too much to whip up.
....also, the games link (which doesn't work) doesn't make a lot of sense at the top, when there's a games "header" above the games links.
The links link doesn't work - what was you going to have as far as links?
Re: Somcom 2.0 - dmpdesign - 2009-12-21
yes, the game button needs to go...i had a links page at some point, not sure why that isnt working at the moment!
