meatboy is creepy in general
boy with no skin
dr fetus

etc.



more shrpnl




not exactly what i wanted for the font for this one but i couldn't find something better and didn't want to spend a whole ton of time customizing something


another quick one, this one could very well be rejected but i didn't know what to do for this set so i just used a wallpaper for the band that made the original song




edit: last set for now, figured i'd use the sharpnel cut again since i have it.
wanted to get the name right on this since caliber reminds me about the name of this file every time it comes up

I feel like it's necessary to add the "250" to The Battle of Lil' Slugger, because the original song is 200 BPM.

wafles stop putting text in your bgs so high, it shouldn't reach more than 3/5 of the entire graphic in order to not be covered by the arrows. also, don't put it beyond 4/5 horizontally because some themes have life bar on the side and that will cover your text.

The font for klassiker einheit is p bad imo but other than that clean gfx, try something else~

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

I've never played on anything other than SM5 w/ bg off so I'm just making graphics for what I'm used to. Anyway here's some adjusted banners.




not gonna touch Klassiker Einheit because I used the same photoshop file for Pacific Girls and can't go back far enough in the history to get back to where I was for that one haha

[Wafles]

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

nvm I caved and redid the bg's that were a bit high for the ones I still had open

gfx are hard, not used to catering graphics for people who play differently than I do I guess

^ looks much better, also from a composition perspective

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

all this commentary about placing text too close to an edge was already covered in a section of my post back on page 3 but I guess everyone just scrolled right past it gg

another thing to be mindful about is where exactly you're placing type because for people that run versions 3.9 or 3.95 with the default theme, there exist black bars located along both left and right edges that will completely obscure anything too close to either of them. in addition, the top and bottom scoring bars during gameplay are also elements that are large enough to obscure key areas in the background image, so you shouldn't place type near the top or bottom edges either. pretty much, around the center is the sweet spot, but from a designer's perspective, try to avoid placing type dead center because it's arguably a lot less stale and boring when it's offset to either side.

lastly, for people running default themes of 3.9 or 3.95, because a simfile author's cdtitle is located at the top right of a banner by default, that too is another element that may obscure type on a banner. arguably, I'd say the cdtitle+banner awareness is more important than the how the background looks during gameplay, because a large majority play with 0% background brightness, and everyone is too focused on reading the notes anyways.

The font for klassiker einheit is p bad imo

I guess from my opinion, it's completely illegible and unreadable. typefaces with flourishes can be nice touches when used in moderation, however they should not interfere with the readability and legibility, otherwise it completely defeats the entire purpose of placing type there in the first place, lol. the fact that it's also all uppercase makes it a nightmare to distinguish letter forms, making it impossible to read from a distance.

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

Yea I completely agree with Klassiker Einheit font being shit

I'll redo that set today and find something better, or tone down the flourishes or something like that idk.

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

Eh...



EDIT: Might try and rework this later, I like this picture, but the text doesn't feel right. Might be wrong though.
EDIT 2: Tried a new font and changed a few other things, I think it's a little better than the other one.

hey GD -- is the Beyond Abilities text in my graphics too close to the edge? I know they're quite a bit closer than The Formula.

[11:56:41 PM] Tosh: I made joke graphics for Shine!! (nuclear blast 5). yay or nay?

[11:57:01 PM] redacted: mfw
[11:57:02 PM] redacted: yes

This is in no way a serious set. I am well aware that the bg will not look good with various gameplay elements.

it's too close, yeah. worst case, it'd just about cut the B in half making it seem like the title is 3eyond Abilities instead during gameplay, rofl.

again, I mentioned that the gameplay background thing honestly isn't a big deal when the majority of people here play with 0% background brightness and everyone will be too focused on reading notes than pay attention to it, lol. if you're OCD about stuff like this, then you should probably shift it over.
