I don't see how his post was offensive

[Gundam-Dude]

Re: Nuclear Blast JS Awesome Bomb Filez 5 GRAPHICS assistance please!

I would've considered having a good attitude about it but the critique comes off as disgustingly entitled and somewhat offensive to boot. I do agree with some of his points but if I'm going to be subjected to being shit on and thrown to the ground for something I did for fun then I'm just not going to bother anymore.

I just gave some personal opinion on what could be improved, so take what I said like a pinch of salt—you don't have to listen or do exactly as I say mind you. The reason why I make my points is through knowledge and experience of design and not for the sole intention of offending. I apologize if my post came off as rude, but my points are still valid regardless of which. My so-called entitlement as a professional graphic designer has nothing to do with providing a simple background critique, lmao.

In the end, these are graphics for Stepmania, so my nitpicks don't really serve any purpose and don't even matter in the first place, rofl.

you can also tell gd to go fuck himself

Re: Nuclear Blast JS Awesome Bomb Filez 5 GRAPHICS assistance please!

Gundam may have worded his critique perhaps "harsh" (and i'm not taking sides you're both cool people) but he knows what he's talking about, and he's been doing this for a long time, I'm sure he didn't mean to be mean about it. I hope this whole thing doesn't keep you feeling sour towards him.

As for the graphics I can see xD
Nice Touch The Angel, and nice Nature of Dying
although yea it might be nice to move the text on nature of dying due to bars covering it
keep em coming :P

This is the same background I used for the team raccoon girl signature lol

Re: Nuclear Blast JS Awesome Bomb Filez 5 GRAPHICS assistance please!

Ooooh graphics for simfiles. This'll be fun, epecially since this is more artsy than art history.




Quick question though, why the odd dimensions on the banner?

[Gundam-Dude]

Re: Nuclear Blast JS Awesome Bomb Filez 5 GRAPHICS assistance please!

Practically all versions of Stepmania, including SM5, compress the image quality of banners that adhere to the classic 256x80 dimensions—usually it's the type that's affected the most and worst. By doubling the dimensions to 512x160, the compression isn't nearly as bad and won't leave JPEG artifacts everywhere, so it has pretty much become the standard for banner sizes as of now. Banners are more important than backgrounds because a larger majority of players play with 0% background brightness anyways, so you should probably spend more time making sure banners are pretty, legible, and readable.

As a side note, even though people are still sticking with 640x480 and 800x600 for backgrounds, I personally suggest going larger in size, more towards a widescreen aspect ratio because of SM5 making it the default. But like I mentioned earlier, most people play with 0% background brightness anyways, so this isn't nearly as important than how the banner should look.

[Necki Menji]

Re: Nuclear Blast JS Awesome Bomb Filez 5 GRAPHICS assistance please!

So 'maintain aspect ratio' isn't an option for graphic in SM5? That's dumb.

Oh well, I got the time to kill, might as well use it to make spiffy graphic for the pack. But wow all those sharpnel files...

Re: Nuclear Blast JS Awesome Bomb Filez 5 GRAPHICS assistance please!

Hello FFR graphics masterminds! I request your assistance for a project I've been working on for like 2 years, all it needs right now is graphics. I know the timing of this thread could have been better with the official tourney starting up and I do apoligize for that.

Specifics:
-Personally I would like the graphics to have something to do with the title/feel of the song. I also prefer the graphics to be somewhat dark for users that play with backgrounds on. (nothing white or super bright, it can be like medium bright that's fine)
-I would like backgrounds to be either 640x480 or 800x600
-I would like banners to be 512x160.
-Banners should include the Title and Artist of the song (I should add the artist of the song shittt)
-Lastly avoid blowing up pictures, and avoid using album covers

-Bonus points: I'll give credits to everyone whose finished graphics set makes it in the pack (there's plenty of opportunity here) and extra bonus credits if I REALLY love it. Try to include some sort of humor or something that'll just make people smile when they open the song, for example:
(Note I have 300k credits)

I've added some photos you can use at the bottom to help!
And additional examples can be found in Nuclear Blast 1-4 for what kind of stuff I like (this is the first pack where I didn't find base images for a lot of the songs and then metzger made them all fancy and perfect)


I need graphics sets for each of the following songs:
