-
Deadline?
-
Hmmph. You're on. :fight:
EDIT: Maybe two-three weeks?
-
End of the month. You have the remainder of the month to submit designs. You may submit as many or few as you wish.
-
I'm in...
/me starts working on designs...
-
Wow, I'm happy to see so many people wanting to take part! :thrilled:
-
my lame concept:
(http://i28.tinypic.com/sm7qmh.png)
it lacks originality...and its rather dull, and boring. it was thrown together in a matter of minutes, kinda running out of time, and i'm tired...yeah its early. i haven't gotten any sleep lately, because i can't seem to fall asleep.
anyway
i'll def. give it a whack at it next week when I get new creative ideas during the school week...I tend to doodle a lot :P
edit - i also wanted to put a cheesy slogan "as the weather channel transitions into hd, so does twc today!" hahaha but i didn't.
-
i like ital :)

It's a lot better than what I made. :cry:
-
Not bad Al, not bad. :sunglasses:
-
Here's a banner I made. It's beyond terrible, so I don't expect any compliments or anything. I don't think I'm good enough for this challenge.
-
Its actually not THAT bad. I like the background. Reminds me of the XL v.1. :sunglasses: :twothumbs:

It is the XL v1 background. :yes: But Al's is simply stunning, compared to mine. My brother is studying graphic design in college now. Maybe I'll make him do something. :D
-
It's better than nothing :whistling: :)
-
I'm so bad at graphic desgin, I'm not even gonna try. :(
Yours isn't bad Gil. I especially like the background. :cool3:
And Al, for something that was made in a few minutes, that's pretty good! :cool2:

Wait is this a logo contest or a site building competition? :huh:
-
I thought Gary's main concern was the graphics.
-
I'm doing the whole thing. I just posted a header since everyone else was. :wacko:
-
Wait is this a logo contest or a site building competition? :huh:
it's both afaik
-
I added a little yellow gradient box. Not sure if it makes it better or worse. I don't even know how I'd make a whole site and have it look good! :(
-
You guys are doing a fantastic job! Keep it up! :sunglasses:
Billy, some clarification for you: this is both. I want to see anything you want to submit, be it an entire site design or just a graphic (though I do hope more site designs are on the way-I don't want things to get too one sided!)
-
*a better banner* :)
-
Are we allowed to use the TWC logo? I left it out because I figured there would be legal issues with that.
-
Yeah I would prefer that you NOT use the TWC logo. Not only for legal issues, but also because I don't want anyone getting the impression that this site is run by/owned by/or in anyway tied to TWC.
-
So, how are ya'll progressing? It's been mum in here since the day I opened this thread. :lol:
-
Classes now, so it'll be awhile. I'm working, though.
-
No rush, you got all month. :sunglasses:
-
So...how's it going? I've finally had some time to work on my design...and it's working. If yer still participating, you should be very scared. :whistling:
-
Can't wait to see this! :twothumbs:
-
Hm.....This Could Be Interesting.

TEN DAYS PEOPLE!!!!

Basic visual layout, still working on buttons, etc. Let's duel.

I did something like that a few years ago, but with the XL v2.

Whoops...don't get too excited. The neat CSS code I used has successfully broke some stuff...but I'm happy it looks good.
-
I like it Matt
-
Just a reminder that only 8 days remain! Your designs must be submitted by April 30th for consideration.
-
Only 5 days remaining! :sunglasses:
-
4 Days Left
-
I'm only going to tell you one more time to quit doing my job. :angry:
-
I believe I may have a design ready to submit (though there may be some final tweaking)... :euro:
-
Excellent! I'm eager to see what you guys have come up with! :sunglasses:
-
Designs need to be in by the end of tomorrow, so that I can begin the work of rebuilding the site ion Wednesday. :sunglasses:
-
Wait...whoa...I thought we were sending this to a vote of us users?
-
Yes we are. The deadline is still tomorrow regardless.
-
Anyway, here's the design I think I will submit.
http://billy.mozfaq.org/temp/Gary/twc_today_april_2008.htm
-
I have updated my selection; the previous background did not work well with text, and this version shows the special tricks I used for the background....
http://twct.kellerbmk.com/demo.html
If selected, I'll work on some buttons (maybe some collaboration on that one). I also need to double check the code...don't remember how nasty it is under the hood.... :happy:
-
Great job Billy and Matt!
Matt, I think I like your more recent one with the cloud background better than the sunny background. More easier on the eyes, IMO. B) Though, I think I like the font that's on the current layout on this site, which I believe is Verdana.
Of course, this is entirely Gary's call, but I'm just posting my thoughts on this.
-
Matt, I really like that! :twothumbs:
Billy, haven't I seen that design before? :P
-
Billy, haven't I seen that design before? :P
Yeah, I think so... Thought I'd do the environment a favor and recycle it. :P

Well, if I use yours I can say that TWC Today is a green site. :P :rofl2:
-
If you want me to, I can come up with a different design...
-
Wow matt. I could've never done that. Why am i so artistically retarded?
-
You can if you want Billy, but you don't have to. It would probably be rather difficult to get something done by tomorrow.
-
Matt, could I suggest a sans-serif font for your design? Serif fonts (i.e., Times New Roman) look awkward on the web.
-
I actually have two designs that I have been considering, which I'd like to add to the designs being considered:
https://twctodayforums.com/501x/index1.html (https://twctodayforums.com/501x/index1.html)
and
https://twctodayforums.com/blue3column/index2.html (https://twctodayforums.com/blue3column/index2.html)
Note that these are templates, which is why they are filled with random info.

:doh:
Font fixed...I should know better...same link as before.
-
Here's my other design:
http://billy.mozfaq.org/temp/Gary/twc_today_april_2008_2.htm
Both of my designs are very simplistic because I like a nice clean look to my webpages, plus they're both XHTML 1.0 Transitional compliant. B)

I really like that one
-
Yeah that one is my favorite of the two too.
I like your simplistic approach Billy. I don't like a bunch of extra bells and whistles either. I also don't like a page that takes too long to load either (more than the count of three on a broadband connection), and the fancier the page the longer the load time.

Also have to take into consideration, the people who are on DSL and even Dial-Up. They still exist. :yes:

We could consider using Matt's version, along with a "lite version" using Billy's creation. I've seen sites that are like this. Would this be difficult to do?

Hmm...if that is the option that we go for, I'd be willing to look into that. Maybe the best of both worlds.
-
I don't want to do that. I just want one site for all. Having two sites is far more work than I want.
Gil, I was trying to explain that concept to YOU when you asked us for advice on how to build a site.

Right, and didn't I say Dial-Up users can go to hell or something?? :rofl2: God I am a terrible person...

I'm trying to be nicer to people. It's incredibly hard. :(

I have DSL; it's not bad at all.

Okay CE... keep telling yourself. BTW, CE, I just gave some guy on the street your digits so you'll be getting a call soon. I told him you can UPS him "the stuff" like you did me. No worries, mate. :twothumbs:

Depends.. how much can you send at once? :fear:

Well duh, especially since they installed that wiretap :ninja:

Damn, then I bet they caught our whole conversation, including when I gave you my address. :o
-
Heres my phone number! 613 998 3439! Take it!
BTW, we're all wayyyy off topic. Shall we get, back on topic?*
* Please note that the aforementioned statement was just that, a statement and not a question. Get back on topic. Grr.
-
Kyle is right, we need to get back on topic. ;)

Just a reminder, designs must be submitted by the end of the day! :sunglasses:

Just wondering..what does everyone think of "Live By Us" for a new slogan for the site? I thought it would be a cool wordplay on the old TWC slogan. To see it on the web page, click below:
https://twctodayforums.com/index2.html (https://twctodayforums.com/index2.html)
-
Good. It's not in English.
-
You don't think I know that? It's a prefilled page I'm working on filling it with the correct info as we speak.
-
New link:
https://twctodayforums.com (https://twctodayforums.com)
-
it looks too bright
-
Care to elaborate a little?
-
i was thinking about making a pale-bluish color for the background
-
Yeah, I think it could be darker too. Maybe use the colors that are used in here (http://theweathervane.info/).
-
I'll see what I can do to darken it a little.
