Theres one easy program called NewsPHP i love that one where you use a site lm.org/php/news.php and you just type the news and it changes it on front page(pass req).

and again you CAN get the news from the forums to the front page but i dont know how that works.

That was hardcoded because i was just bored and showing off my work...most of the time i will php the news

Design:
Dreamweaver MX
Photoshop CS

Total time: 1hr 30mins

Way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way WAY too much wasted space. Looks too big, bulky and ugly for something with next to no detail. Try and slimline it and make it not look so wasteful.

esuna · January 25, 2004, 06:59:40 PM

Yeah, i got bored. ~30 minutes work or so.

@gentOrange · January 25, 2004, 07:43:53 PM

Oh I change my vote to esuna. Very nice work indeed.

Malevolent · January 25, 2004, 07:56:31 PM

Ahh, esuna's is good too. So hard to pick (specially since crack's is down; can't compare).

crack · January 25, 2004, 08:12:13 PM

The only reason the space is wasted is because i didnt add much...sure ive could of cut 50% of it off like your but this is full size

crack · January 25, 2004, 08:15:27 PM

Mine is at 100% scale. But i believe in the philosophy that if you're not going to fill the space, don't make a design that will. That is 650px across, the height is variable.

And it's entirely done in photoshop, but the thing is, the second i slice it up and put it into .html, it will look identical.

And yes yours looks bulky, excessively so. Look how much space is wasted, if you can't see it, i believe you need to give up web designing at all, it's not for you if you cannot spot such simple things.

crack · January 25, 2004, 09:01:36 PM

That pic is a full page, and i made it a full page for a reason again when the news starts coming there will be pics and news and more buttons. _I_ need to give up design? Yours is preeeetty cheap it looks like it can fit into a popup window, again i want to see your page in IE. im just dieing

esuna · January 25, 2004, 09:22:22 PM

*sigh*

crack · January 25, 2004, 09:27:45 PM

Thank you. :lol:

esuna · January 25, 2004, 09:31:27 PM

I'll say this once, and once only. And nice and easily.

You do not, ever, yes, i repeat, ever speak down to me when speaking of web designer. Unlike most of you kids who do it, i do have professional working experience and qualifications in both web and graphic design, I..:

A) Know what i'm talking about.
B(goddamned smilies)) Know what i'm doing.
C) Probably have more training and qualifications in design than you.
D) Probably have been designing longer than you (Websites up since 1994).
E) Actually have a natural talent for space and colour usage, which most people don't have.

/me puts away the arrogance stick.

Everyone has pictures of humans and HA and marines on their headers. Put a high res fade or something up there :p

BobTheJanitor · January 25, 2004, 11:23:05 PM

Nooo, something lunixy! A penguin that hovars with--ACK!

Sorry, had to slap myself. Something like a penguin with TSA gear, or somesuch. Aliens pics are cool too. There's so many recognizable things in NS it seems strange that every website has to have COOL HA MAN OMG as their picture.

Uranium - 235 · January 26, 2004, 12:16:53 AM

Um, Lunix stands for "Little Unix", a system made for the Commodore 64. It has absolutely 0% nothing zip zilch nada to do with lInUx.

Squirrel · January 26, 2004, 08:09:05 AM

all i have to say is respect esuna's work, i have seen some of his other work on a www.tutorialforums.com he is quite experienced in what he does.

he was just trying to help you out, give you suggestion. the only way to get better is to keep working at it, learn from mistakes, and take in to account other peoples suggestion(especially ones that have a great deal of experience themselves)

(i would like to help out if any of you need it with building the web page)
I have: Photoshop 7.0, Macromedia MX, and a decent amount of knowledge

Dubbilex · January 26, 2004, 08:17:14 AM

Well, I would say one thing "Different strokes for dfferent folks."

Yes, Esuna's is purdy. yes, Crack's is purdy. But I'm not really seeing the "wasted space".

So lets see some positive reinforcement here, rather than the ol' "whip out the e-pen0s ruler" action that we're seeing :rolleyes:

esuna · January 26, 2004, 08:58:40 AM

I present to you, the wasted space diagram.

Everything i marked in yellow is wasted. Maybe i have gone a little overkill, but certain areas to look for are the ridiculously large empty spaces around the title text, the ridiculously thick borders and spacing which only adds to the wasted space.
