chicka Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I've been working with photoshop and learning how to use it. I've made a layout and i'm giving it away. If you wanna use it feel free. PM me and i'll send you the psd. I'm new to photoshop so its probably not the best. I'm open to constructive criticism Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sim Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Anyone can create a image in photoshop. PSD->html/css conversion is the talented part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominion Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Anyone can create a image in photoshop. PSD->html/css conversion is the talented part. I disagree with that, I pay for psd's as anything I make is often, well bad... I can get a psd into a login, register or in game layout relatively easily. I guess it more depends on how much practice you have creating them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spudinski Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 I second with Dominion. Slicing is an art many people can't do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny696 Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Anyone can create a image in photoshop. PSD->html/css conversion is the talented part. Thats your opinion, i cant make anything look even half good, never mind decent, thats why i have to pay for my templates. I cant slice anything either, i recently paid a quite considerable amount just for the slicing. I paid $107 just for the slicing of my template!!!!

Lilith Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Back on topic, lol. Chicka, the artwork is well done, and color choice matches well, and is appealing to the eyes (if you don't mind neon lights surrounding the objects, you know where you used outer glow, and I personally don't mind, I love Vegas). Thats half the battle of a good layout design (ok so maybe 1/4, but still a very considerable chunk.) Something you will want to consider in future layouts is how repeatable is the image? Like with your paper in the center, Its going to be near impossible to get a decent repeating image if you have pages that are longer or shorter than others, this poses a problem. Also, where your separator bars (the vertical wood looking images that separate the menus from the main body) needlessly overlap with the vote / Donate bar. It draws focus because it looks sloppy and out of place, and can be a royal pain to slice into a layout. There is also a lot going on in the majority of the layout, however above the vote / Donate area its kinda plain, it makes the whole thing look out of balance. But with only 3 small things I can nit-pick about this layout, I would have to say you have done an exceptional job. Keep up the good work, I think you have a lot of talent, and with just a little practice, you will be making awesome designs in no time. Remember, sometimes, less is more and this applies to layer styles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
