The Helper needs help again

[FireCat]

How it goes with the design ? is pretty quiet about it I see

 

[The Helper]

I don't know. Did anyone decide which style was going to be used? We need to just get something in there I think and it would expand from there.

Anyway, I will be going on a vacation tomorrow, for a whole week

Once he's back we'll prolly see updates again...

 

[monoVertex]

Currently I am working on something that I am getting paid for, so yeah .

 

[Andrewgosu]

I am back from my little voyage!

You'll be seeing updates soon enough.


I was thinking about designing a "sticky" footer, but it's quite difficult to get one working for multiple browsers.

Though, it would look great.

Any suggestions?

 

[Andrewgosu]

Do I need to incorporate the "Welcome, User." message (the whole CP message you see; last visit, private messages)?

Spoiler

The links are random.

I don't like how tiny the battle.net and Blizzard parts got.

'looks really good.

hey andrew, could you point me to a tutorial for stuff like that? or to the textures you used on the menu/bars.

i need them for making a new techy gundam css for my site...

The banner of the main page uses the same borders as the one Andrew made...

 

[Andrewgosu]

Yes, slightly altered. Not really the same.


About the content: will it need the news poster's design section like, rad posted, which shows who posted what and when?

And my previous questions are still unanswered.


Blade, most of this is just custom brushing, cutting and slicing/editing images together. I haven't seen such a general tutorial, but you can always try searching from google.

You practically stole the banner from the offical sc2 site and the stuff you actually made is low quality.

I don't mean to insult, but that's just how I see it.

Maybe Andrewgosu can change place instead of welcome text put in the Blizzard part it be little bigger

And not have any welcome text in the banner but somewhere else on the page

Some day, that "site" will feature a "maps" section.
So, yes, it would be helpful to know it you're logged in or not.
Which sort of requires a "Welcome: name" somewhere.
Note that not all names have the same size, they go from 3 letters to... 15?

User CP in the menu? No idea... though the menu is rather flexible, isn't it?

News do tell who posted them.
Whether that shows or not an avatar... well, let's pretend there should be one, to see

The Blizzard and BNet logos are not strictly necessary in the header.
Might just as well go to the footer.
Actually, I'm somewhat more in favor of "footer".

 

[Andrewgosu]

Glad to get some of the details sorted.

Here's another banner, with a far more better composition. Though, there is something missing in the middle.

Maybe a cruising Battlecruiser...

And I think the menu just does not look nice.

It's not wow-factorish.

Perhaps "welcome user" could go there with a cool blue-ish menu.

 

[Andrewgosu]

The transparent area will get a repeating background.

The banner is still lacking something for final touch.

The footer can be used for logos and/or affiliates.

Perhaps the 3 race symbols in the middle, in some sort of pyramid?
