Title: Thoughts about my web page for the game
Post by: Sektor 13 on Sun 16/04/2006 21:28:25
Maybe i should make a web page for my latest game, so i made something.

This is picture as how it would be:

I quite like the style. But since I'm a fanatic of symmetrical compositions, I would center the "Infinity String" text. The colours are fantastic!

cheers

I would just modify the Text put it next to each other or step it down


EG:  The INFINITY STRING

or

THE
           INFINITY
                             STRING

I agree with nihilyst. But in any case, it's always better than my layouts will ever be.

I love the design but like the others have said the empty space near the text is too much, what i would do is maybe add a semi transparent screenshot or background even. that way you will have something to attract the eye on both sides

that looks cool! everything looks right, except what was mentioned above, and the character's arm/hand looks a bit weird/wrong.

Background Colors
The first thing that I noticed was that the content area is the same color as the background ... this is something I try to avoid when designing a webpage.  Contrast between the two is, to my eyes, a tad more soothing and easy to focus on.

I would leave the main background black and change the content area to a darker brown (similar in tone to the buttons) if you want to leave the text a light color.  Or make it a lighter color brown and use darker colored text.  Contrast is the key ... I'd want to seperate the content area from the background.

Logo Area
As for the title area ... I would suggest keeping the over-all volume of the box the same, but shrink down the logo and put it in the center.  This would/could create a feeling of "openess" showing the much smaller logo in the vastness of that box ... might convey "infinity" if you know what I mean?

Bottom Area
The bottom (of the content box) extends off the screen.  This pulls the eye down a bit too much.  I'd suggest making the bottom squared off (as the top is) so it doesn't go "off" the bottom of the screen.  Then maybe put a footer underneath it.  Something like this:

Repeating the navigation is a good thing :)

Other than that I think it's an excellent design and look forward to seeing where you take it (and playing the game of course!!)

I think Mordalles might have a point the forearm is too long?
