... just wondered what you think of the artwork and colour scheme so far. If you think Im headed down the right track or if you think its ghastly and I should start over
theborderlands.proboards36.com
Its in maintenance mode so you'll only be able to see colour scheme, main picture and the buttons across the top.

*Prods her* Yes I know its in maintenance mode, but you can still see a couple of the buttons across the top and the main banner. Tch... and Im not showing you the rest coz when I resized my images on photobucket it put a yellow outline round them where transparent had been and I haven't got round to redoing them smaller on PSP and uploading them. So all there is to see is the banner, the buttons and some of the colours.

When you say different kinds of purple, do you mean different shades on the board, or do you mean difference in purple between the images and the colour scheme, because if its the images and colour scheme thats gonna change, just again... I err... haven't got round to doing it, its quite hard when you don't have the internet on your own computer and the only one that does has nothing else but the internet.

You made a site, and it's not squirrel themed? Well, it's off to a pretty good start... Needs more coding done to it obviously I would suggest smaller navigation images that either didn't have an imagey background like that, or were all different.

I love what I can see - the purple colours look great - and I love those menu buttons as well as "The Borderlands" sign. Everything matches and looks good. Gets a 10/10 from me. ;D

Yeah my coding skills aren't up to much, all I can do is use codes other people have created. Iv always intended to teach myself HTML and all that, but at the moment I dont really have the time, so its just the boring ordinary stuff at the moment.
As for the buttons, I know what you mean about the different images, trouble is, for Wheel of Time, theres very little available. Ill have a play around with a few other things, but I dont think there really are any other images, and I do rather like the snake. Well, as I said, Ill have a play around with a few other images and see if I get anything I like, otherwise, theyr staying as they are
And Valderra... thanks, Im glad you like it!! ;D

Looks good, Moreta. I know someone who would absolutely die over that color scheme...an old friend. Purple and black are the only two colors they use in decorating...*smirks*
My only suggestion would be to make the text stand out a bit more on the buttons, the fact that it is very nearly the same shade of purple as the background design makes it blend in a bit too much.
I'm impressed, though.

Very Impressive! I think you've done a good job at the colors and the images. (A lot better than me...) ;D

I think you're pretty much off to a good start. The banner is good, the smaller text is a tad difficult to read, it might help if that text was in a lighter shade of purple..one that matches the highlights in the main text maybe.. I like the button background image, but I would suggest using a different font for the text.. it's kinda hard to make out what it says.. maybe try using a pixel font (which can be found at www.dafont.com, which is where I get most of my fonts). That's about it Again, I think you're off to a good start

Its always in Maintenance mode at the moment because its not ready yet I havent had any time to sit down and really sort it out. I was planning on opening it around the same time as PBv4 but now I dont know when thats gonna happen so Im not sure when Im gonna do it. I dont want to do a load of coding and find it redundant, but I also dont want to open it before Iv got the coding in I want so Im a bit stuck really

Anyone got any bright ideas on how I can solve this problem:
I can make the images for my board no problem, I enjoy it, love it, but unfortunately it seems my screen at home shows things lighter than everyone else's screens. Theres a couple at school that do too and the rest show it darker. This means whenever I make a banner or image of some sort I think something is the right combination of colours and then I see it on another screen and its almost too dark to read. Its extremely frustrating and its put me off sorting out the images etc for this board. Iv made a couple of sigs before with the same problem, they look perfectly colour coordinated at home and then at school or elsewhere they look rubbish Iv fiddled with a couple of my screen settings but I dont see a way to make it darker really....
