Design Ideas

[Ian]

I've come up with a possible design idea, one using the current colour scheme, and another a bit brighter... The designs are VERY fast loading and much lighter.

Please keep in mind that there are very preliminary so don't pay attention to the detail/quality, just the outline.

Let me know what you think, as I'm still considering going ahead with a new design (in time).

This one

If you insist, i kind of like those ones... but a bit more silver for me!

KGB

Can you put one of them on so we can have a proper look?

 

[muckshifter]

I like the second also ...

It would take weeks of programming to add a new template, so this is just a quick mockup done in Macromedia Fireworks. I'm working on getting an example up once I get the colours/layout finalised

I like the second also ...

Was that the darker coloured one I posted, or KGBs?

 

[KGB-911]

I was wandering that, but i thin he ment yours...

ohh, i thought it would be a simple "apply new template" like on my forum.

can't say i like the new designs more than the current one i'm afraid, and certainly not the brighter one.

It looks far too plain with the increased amounts of white.

sorry

Thats OK Chris! I'm after everyones opinions before I make any changes!

THe left one (brighter) gets my vote, the other one just looks too simulaur.

The darker of the two gets my vote ...

 

[Phelon]

My preference is with the darker one, the lighter looks a little..erm...Microsofty ? (May just be me)

I have a preference for darker colours anyway.

 

[Ian]

I've played around with it a little more and come up with this idea, does this look any better?

I'm not in any rush to get a new design up, and I only would if it was a fraction of the file size (so far it is!).

 

[ChristopherP]

Now thats cool

 

[KGB-911]

that one gets my vote

There are many reasons... one of them i will let you work out. tell me when you know what one of my reasons are...

Its blue and silver? Ah... the laptop!

 

[KGB-911]

Got it in one Ian!

I like that one, it looks really good

 

[muckshifter]

I like it a lot

... but I still have the misconception that a Laptop is not a PC.


The old pic' was fine ...

 

[Ian]

I was going to use a PC again, but I couldn't find one that fitted (I don't have the old image anymore, doh!).

There is a little test site here : https://www.pcreview.co.uk/test which you can use to judge the loading times (bearing in mind that it is just a test and content isn't there!).

 

[ChristopherP]

loads quick, looks good. go for it

 

[Becky]

I like that one, but I prefer the PC at the top (sorry KGB, no offense )
