I´d like to hear your opinion about this thing i made. It´s for the Hegemonia project, for our website. It´s so hard to get a hold of something truly unique, that i though of making our own.
I´ve tried several diferent colors for the button´s text, i tried fosforecent green, electric blue, dark green, blood red, and now silver. I´m still looking for that one colour, that feel, to make it just right. But i think silver goes nicely, for now at least.
And what do you think of the whole template itself?



:nervous:
No Freespace 3 ?!? Oh, bugger...

I'd drop the SOC logo, but it's pretty nice as-is.

What do you mean?? It says "NTF rebellion", it has the SOC crest, and features a cutscene still from FS1!
Besides, this is not a FS mod, it´s a UT mod, based on FS universe.

True. Website layout could be similiar to briefing views.

About page: buttons font dont look good, it would presence better if it was made in title style ( flat, iner cut in layout etc. )

stop *****ing


 i think it looks great except things should be smaller wuite a bit smaller and the rez should be higher, remembre your building a website not a picture.
I hate My signature!

 
Drop the SOC logo, and use an opaque background instead of a tiling JPG. You'll thank me once you start making it for other resolutions.

Also, when you're using :V: screenies, you'd better change that copyright notice.

My only problem with the SOC logo: Why exactly the SOC one? Why not the GTVA one?

Oh, I think I can guess it: Do the players go on spec-ops missions?

Yeah, but a UT Fan who played this may never know where the source material came from

What if it got explained in the 'Story' section?

Considering how this is just the background, and all text needs to be input yet, i say that´s a big possibility, no?

Why? What would change in it if it were displayed in 800x800?
The only change would be a horizontal scroll bar, no?

Err...because it looks cool?
No, seriously, our hero is an SOC operative. Hence the crest. But note that the crest now stands as a possible placeholder, waiting for a better logo to come up.
Also, the framed screenshot is not in its final location, i just placed it there so people would see how the POTD would look like. The real POTD will be a tad smaller.

As for resolution, i can´t do anything about it. I used texture maps to make it, i cannot increase the resolution. However, if i "shrink" it down to 800x800, i could get a slight improvment. But most people use 1024.

ST: The scroll bar would make the whole thing look really odd, nevermind the fact that in higher reses it gets quite idiotic too. Also, a scrollbar would make it harder to use the interface.

I just made a test page, and it looks allright to me.
Check here:

It looks perfect in 1024x768. Only in 800x800 does it look slightly off center, but that´s caused by Geocities popup crap.
Only in higher resolutions does the image appear to the side, showing a bit of the black background.
