A little input please :D [vAzNnUI Art - Dragons]

vAzNKNiGHT · 08-05-09, 05:02 PM

I just created this layout this morning, and I went ahead and uploaded it to WoWI for everyone to use. The layout can be found here.

Please take a look and give me some inputs so I can fix/enhance the layout.

Looks very neat. Excellent images too. A bit to "busy" for my tastes though and I think I would spend more time viewing the image than actually playing, lol. It's almost like the Dragon is too vibrant/bright? It makes it standout far more than the rest of the imagery. All I think looking at the dragon is "oooh shiny!!" and I only want to look there, lol.
The way that the Belf to the right of the map frame is displayed seems to be a nice balance between visibility of the image and also not pulling your eyes away from the HUD area and your own toon.

And a personal note to all the Authors designing amazing layouts for nUI.....Great Work all around, you guys/gals do amazing things

It's funny because I was just thinking about that before checking on the thread, and I went ahead and added some minor scanlines to the bottom panel. Not a very big change but hopefully that will lessen the distractions.

Thanks for the input.

Thanks, glad you like it, wouldn't be able to make it without nUI.

I spotted the PSD file for the nUI logo on one of the other threads. I took it and edited a little bit to implement it with my design. Here's a screenshot of what I did, I'd like your say in it before I release it.

That looks very nice and I have no problem with folks tinkering with the logo... so please be my guest and post... and thank you very much for contributing to nUI's art!

So far this is my favorite backdrop. I actually love what distracts other people. The vibrant colors, the pop, the blending, lack of a definite border. I really hope you do some more.

I'm so totally the opposite lol. I need something light and unobtrusive to the eyes so that I can remain focused on the information that I need to see.
