Guest SP-1 Posted March 29, 2003 Report Posted March 29, 2003 Okay, kids. I know the direction I'm going in with IZ after the split, graphically. You guys already have a logo, so my business is with matchup graphics and other stuff you guys may want. I can't promise to get it all, but ideas for matchup screens are most important. So. Ideas? Suggestions? This is to help YOUR show aesthetically, so I need ideas from you.
Guest What? Posted March 29, 2003 Report Posted March 29, 2003 Wait...are you asking for matchup pictures (like what the character looks like) or background ideas? Cuz I like just having the HeldDown Blue and White as the background. It's simple, yet effecive.
Guest SP-1 Posted March 29, 2003 Report Posted March 29, 2003 Character pics has a thread already. In the OAOAST General forum. I'm talking about something as far as like what's in my sig. Matchup graphics themselves. The colors/style of it. I have IZ stuff good to go, pretty much, but I was looking for ideas for heldDOWN.
LaParkaYourCar Posted March 29, 2003 Report Posted March 29, 2003 I'm not sure I understand what you're asking for. The first HeldDOWN isn't for a couple of weeks right? How would we know what matches we're having?
Patty O'Green Posted March 29, 2003 Report Posted March 29, 2003 Odd, I'm the only one who knows what he means. I think the world is about to end. I think SP wants ideas for what the graphics should look like. Color schemes, style, etc.
Guest SP-1 Posted March 29, 2003 Report Posted March 29, 2003 here's an example. Note the background, the style, that it's not bodyshots but bust shots. The namebar and it's transparency. Fonts, etc. This is one easiest to do out of other stuff I've tried, looks crisp and clean, and isn't f'ing huge. Thoughts? SD: Great minds think alike.
Guest SP-1 Posted March 29, 2003 Report Posted March 29, 2003 One thing off the bat I see that needs changing on my end is the font color on the character names themselves. It's dark enough that it blends in and is hard to read on Kotzenjunge's bust.
LaParkaYourCar Posted March 29, 2003 Report Posted March 29, 2003 I like that using the HD background idea. Looks good.
Guest Tony149 Posted March 30, 2003 Report Posted March 30, 2003 here's an example. Note the background, the style, that it's not bodyshots but bust shots. The namebar and it's transparency. Fonts, etc. This is one easiest to do out of other stuff I've tried, looks crisp and clean, and isn't f'ing huge. Thoughts? SD: Great minds think alike. Too bad we didn't do that for AM II. The ones for the show are a little bigger than that, but now we now how to do them.
Guest SP-1 Posted March 30, 2003 Report Posted March 30, 2003 Aye. That would have probably been mucho easier than what I went through for each Mania pic. But, it IS Mania so I didn't mind working with larger graphics. It was all fun though.
Guest Zack Malibu Posted March 30, 2003 Report Posted March 30, 2003 I would have the HeldDOWN background like you do, but maybe have the border be a dark blue (or black even if it won't blend well) and maybe with a "jagged" type of font. Make the names look edgy, a la the persona of the show.
Guest The Superstar Posted March 30, 2003 Report Posted March 30, 2003 Didn't you have screens awhile ago that were just a blue border, black background and the helddown logo at the bottom. Do you still have that one?
Guest SP-1 Posted March 30, 2003 Report Posted March 30, 2003 I still have it. But it's f'n huge if it's the one I think you're talking about.
Guest Angle-plex Posted March 30, 2003 Report Posted March 30, 2003 That looks awesome. Zack's idea about the blue border and italic writing wouldn't be a bad idea to try out.
Guest SP-1 Posted March 30, 2003 Report Posted March 30, 2003 Changed it. The new version has replaced the original pass in that post. Is that what you were talking about Zack?
Guest Kotzenjunge Posted March 30, 2003 Report Posted March 30, 2003 I think just straight-up ripping off the Smackdown match graphics would be great.
Guest SP-1 Posted March 30, 2003 Report Posted March 30, 2003 That's pretty doable, I think. I actually sort of did that with an early revamp of the IZ graphics but it was BIG so I dropped it. But if I can do it smaller I may try.
LaParkaYourCar Posted April 8, 2003 Report Posted April 8, 2003 Should we move this to the HeldDOWN folder?
Guest TheZsaszHorsemen Posted April 9, 2003 Report Posted April 9, 2003 I think a Purple and Green color scheme works best. Keep in mind I mean Bristish Racing Green and Methylene Purple.
Guest Zack Malibu Posted April 9, 2003 Report Posted April 9, 2003 SP, that was exactly what I was talking about, great job!
