Smidge204 Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Okay, it should come as absolutely no surprise that my design and artistic skills are... lacking, to be polite about it. So after spending what, two week or so, fidgeting with the new site coding I'm coming up with zilch for a new design. Anyone out there want to give it a shot? Floor's open. If I get more than one design concept submitted, I'll put it up for vote on the forums and we can choose one as a community. Any takers just let me know! =Smidge= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epon Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 Are you planning to do something with CSS or are you not even AT that point yet? I mean, if you're not, I'd really really think about using DIVs everywhere with style sheets attached to them. If that's the case, I'd be really interested in helping out. Sometimes simplicity is bliss, too, dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark the Echidna Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 I am interested. Can we have some screenshots of the new system, so we can have a better idea on what kind of design would be more suitable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 If someone designs it, I'll chop it and div it. If a few more competent XHTML coders (and we have a few) join up, it'll be done in a snap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 When I find a few spare hours I'll see if I can make up something usable. Can't make any promises though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Shadix Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 I'm drawing up a sketch with some alternative design ideas. Mark has a pizzaz look going, but I decided I'm gonna give this a whirl, as I haven't done it in a good while and think I can put something together. Critique for Mark though: While the user-friendlyness is nice and it all looks very professional, I can't help but think that it makes SFGHQ kindof look like a blog. >.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark the Echidna Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 Yeah, indeed. People pointed me this out at the IRC channel... So I've made some modifications: Less Web 2.0, more SFGHQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kain Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 I'm not wild about the orange (never been one of my more favorite colors in Web 2.0), but amazing amazing site design, Mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slingerland Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 Upon contemplation...I'm not to high on "sound effects" and "tools" sitting in the orange and not on the toolbar. They demand equal rights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shadix Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 Let me recycle a response:Fixed to fit the situation. hmm... I just find it kindof rude considering Smidge left the door open for multiple people to make layouts and I'm already hours into the design process. (of course I'm a slow and picky fuck) I don't want to start a fight here, but don't you guys think you might be throwing your change in a little early? I guess I'm just asking for some time. I promise I'll make it worth your while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
