Yeah just the images, I can recreate all tables and such as needed by hand.  If I need to break a image in half for some reason I can do that no problem.  I just cant make awsome pics like ya can.

i dunno i like it.

I am looking on my monitor which is calibrated for my images and it looks good.

Anyway I think it should stand out.

Thanks, lads :)

I'll work on extending that side bar, TLM. As far as I can see that's all that needs to be done before I supply the images, correct?

I looked at this on my home machine last night and I think that perhaps the header bar looks a little over saturated (a little too blue). I'd like to know the general consensus on this as it hard to tell which monitor has the most accurate representation. It looks alright on this (work's) monitor.

looks ace :)

I like....

Might have to try one or two small things though when I code it and see if you/I like them.

When ever you can get the image elements to me I can start work on making it the template along with upgrading the forum to latest version.

New design update:

Click on it once to view it at the proper res. It looks sorta jaggy otherwise.

lemme know what you think.

Ok, I'll flip them and see how it looks.

The other sides were better looking to me.  Perhaps as well flipping the sides horizontally so that the straight edge is close to the content and the frailed edges are on the outsides?

imo they are a bit ott. loving the banner, particularly the cold war effect.

Another take on the page design:

Are the chevrons too much?

Thanks, Lanski :)

I had a rough idea, but for now I've been concentrating on getting the damn menus to behave properly. Originally the menus expanded when rolled over and went back once the mouse moved away, but I've had problems with the menus not collapsing if the mouse is moved from the area extremely quickly.

It looked slicker in the original version, but I just couldn't get it working properly.

Nice flashy stuff Broken.

There is a flash function that (when I was doing flash) called geturl()

Hope that helps :)

I've created some menus in flash to accompany the header.

See what you think, the link names are easily changed if need be.

For some reason the images are showing bigger than actual size through photobucket. You can view them at actual size if you click on them in my photobucket account.

I just need to work out to make the links change the main frame on the page. I'm new to this flash malarkey.

I have not seen him online so I dont think so...

wheres swordsman recently, he found this site yet?

Broken is the KING, great work mate and wow it looks impressive!

wow! nice!

Hrm...
[me=TLM]has one fix he sees already...[/me]

Can the center graphics be streched out horizontally with out destroying the looks? (I know 1024x768 is average joe user, but we dont want to limit people to such small area...)

I was thinking of something like this. Perhaps adding some more detail to the side frames. The grey bar at the top is to put a menu on.

hay thats ace so are we going ahead with this design? , i think it rocks ;D

Update with a header design:

Thanks  :)

I'd love to do a collaboration, but I'm tied down with about a million requests ATM. I'm itching for some good quality, hi-res stock like what's on the site, so I'm definately up for that in the near future.

Killer site, BTW

I really like what you did there man, not surprised as I have seen some of your work before and i know you produce some quality stuff.

I think we were going to do a collaboration at one point my photography and your web stuff, if you or anyone else is intrested I am a photographer by trade so I got some tasty bits of kit.

You can see some of my daily work at ... http://www.edwalshphotography.com I did the bullet to the left also.

how many 'good fella's' does it take to screw in a lightbulb....

A.  99...... you got a problem with that???

LOL, the TPF Mafia!

niiiice!! :o i like that style, has something mafia-like ;D

Glad you like them. I'll get cracking with some layouts.  :)

Sig and Av by the Mighty Broken English  :)

Damn very nice !!  :o

That is exactly what happened when I saw the image, my eyes popped out of my head.

Wow those are awesome Broken!  :o

Make the layout how ever you think is intereseting to you.  I have a few ideas that people might like.

Dude, that is absolutly awesome! I love it!!!

Did a logo revamp:

I also did a design for a header or a intro page:

I'll update with my idea for a site layout later.

W00t !

Thanks, man.  :)

I'll get doodling.

Thank you for offering your services in graphic design.

I honestly am not sure what can be done right now, as TLM is taking a leave of absence for a month.

I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to start coming up with some ideas and showcasing.

By the way, love your work in Photobucket... really like the sigs with cartoonish looking pictures of You, Maelstrom, Cowboy, and SourMonkey.
