New banner development

No offence sugarglider but i really don't like the one you made. I think the text is too far to the right, it looks better centered but even the one you centered was a bit too basic, i also think that there is too much going on, too many things on the banner itself.

CloudWalker, i like your flash design, however i think the twinkling stars would work well on the one we have now, i just don't think that your design would work unless we got a new skin aswell. But i do like the stars twinkling.

Just my thoughts...

I copied the banner we have now.

I added the same stars, but with white color at 30% alpha, so it would blend in easy.

2 minute job. :P

interesting effect.

I like that, looks nice, good job :)

I have to say that I really don't like the flashing starts. They just look too tacky and overly spiritual... almost [brace yourself] ld4all style. Well, I wouldn't quite go that far, but you get my drift.

If we're going to have a new banner, might as well have a completely new one. Otherwise just stick with this one. I think it's fine.

the stars on a day banner dont look good and the stars look to fake.

here is another version of mine

cloudWalker screams and stamps his feet.

eat my foot.

i dunno what im doing most of the time, i just want to do something, im awesome with swish and i need a project.

yes, i agree the stars look tacky.

give me a proper project. pleeeaseee someone.

i can do strange things thought umposibiblarle.

I like the stars effect on your first one, cloudwalker, it looked nice. And also i like the one sugerglider made, but its too full of stuff. If you took out the sleeping dude to the right and the little fuzzy man in the middle, it would look really cool in my opinion.

I can do forum design. I am no coder but I have done some art direction with coders to make customized designs that work a lot better than this default blue style.

This site isn't vBulletin, it's some cheaper more simple code but I think with a little design it made it look a lot better. And just ignore the content and look at the design.

I did 100% of the design with this site.

The sleeping dude could be taken off, but the little fuzzy man is a must. It just locates you inside that limitless dream. I like the centred text version, though

I'd love t osee a sketch of what you could improve about Dreamviews :P

Who is the person that would ultimately decide on a new design? Because I like this community, I found it the most helpful with my lucid dreaming and I think an enhanced design would greatly help, so I would be interested in professionally revamping the entire thing if the owners were interested.

I would start with concept before I even sketched something.

no sleeping guy and I moved the text over with the guy in a different place

I believe that an yof the adins would do, but you'd probably want to talk to Seeker. He's the oldest admin around here, he'll know what to do.

Not that long ago there was this design contest which nobody showed interest in. I'm sure a new design would be highly welcome.

And about the concept, mind personal suggestion? I really like the blue set of colours we have now. What reallys disgusts me in this design is the tacky look. So, if you could keep the colour system, or maybe make details darker, it would suit perfectly. But that is just my idea :>

Looks really good :D makes me feel like dreamign just to visit that landscape.

it does look better without the wierd guy, thanks for telling me to get rid of him, and thanks for liking it kromoh.

Oh boy, there really are so many great ones to choose from...many people here seem to have alot of talent with imagery and art...keep it up, I enjoy looking at the possibilities.

thanks, do you like mine?

It's way too "linear" for me. The fact that the mountains are so far away makes it all look like a line... just like the banner is broken into two parts. Doesn't look good to me.

I couldn't disagree more. There is no way to represent a decent landscape without making the horizon flat. If the horizon isn't flat, then the view is not coming from above.


By the way sugarglider, the little man in there is just awesome, I keep telling myself. Gives me such a sense of freedom :>

kromoh, do you have any way I could make it better

played with photoshop heres what i got :

I would look realy cool if you got rid of the wierd snowflake

How about a theme banner for a month ie. Holloween?
Good timing for a start since DV participation is slow.....sometimes:?
no?

No offence born_2_kill but i don't like the whole reflection and mirroring of the images across the banner.

First banner for the site from me, so be nice.

I think its too small and dark, it needs more color

Yes, perhaps it does. But in my opinion, he captured the DV "feel" if you know what I mean. :P
