My personal little LBP site

Archive: 35 posts


Hi there!

I created a little website/blog, like an online LBP profil, where I present myself, my levels and other LBP things.
I used a free creation template (limited possibilities but simple and easy to use)

http://dajdaj03lbp.weebly.com/

I hope it doesn't seems ridiculous :blush:, cause I know that I can share everything here on LBPC,
but in addition to here, I just wanted to have my own little personal space to gather everything I do concerning LBP in the same spot, and that I could design more or less the way I want...

Maybe it will not be very useful or very visited, but I'm happy that I made it

It's the first version and it's a little empty right now,
but I'll try to update it as often as i can, and also add new sections.

So if you could take a look and tell me what you think (there's only 3 sections),
and if you see some kind of bugs (like images not appearing...) , please tell me!

Thanks!

Thanks guys!

@Monsthar : thanks, it's my job, I'm a graphic designer.
But here I stick to the LBP/MM style cause I like it, so maybe it's not very original....

@ X-FROGBOY-X : ooops thanks! I tried to be careful, but I don't think my english text are perfect... :/

Hehe, thanks very much Oddmania!

...You probably gonna be the only one...

Seriously though, I'll try to put new stuff when I have something interseting (more or less),
and also things that I will not post here because it will not worth creating a thread for, like new fan art for example...

Aww, that's really nice, I love it! - Especially liked the bit where you included pictures of your inspirations, you reminded me of me lol. Google images is always my first port of call when starting a new level.

I totally get why you did it too, not ridiculous at all! - I got loads of enjoyment out of my YouTube channel, it's so much nicer having people discover you, rather than having to spread the word yourself.

C'est magnifique! Je l'adore!!

You are a photoshop god!

Well... figure of speech!!

But I love your fan art, and I love the interface of this website too! VERY nice!!

By the way, Did you learn all your photoshop expertise by yourself? If not, then how'd you learn?

Thanks everyone! That's kind of you

Well except some typo mistakes, seems there's no bug problems..it's cool!
Isn't the site a little slow to load or display the pictures sometimes though ?


By the way, Did you learn all your photoshop expertise by yourself? If not, then how'd you learn?

I'm a graphic designer, so I learn a little during my studies
and since then a lot of practice at work... and I'm still learning


Cool ^^

Well, yes, it's the idea of having a LBP web profile page that made me do this
why wait till LBP2 release and LBP.me..?

A graphic designer? Cool!

Just remembered, I found this the other day which is the kind of thing most graphic designers get all the time. I may go on to game design at college then, rather than graphic!

Unless of course, i get a job like rex at Mm... Anyways:


Who do these graphic designers think they are? I mean, it's the client that came up with the idea to get something designed, it's the client that is picking out the colors, it's the client that?s doing all the work. Right? All the designer is doing is putting some colors on a screen.

Over the years, here is what I've found out that can drive your graphic designer crazy. Not sure why, but those guys are touchy.

Microsoft Office

If you?ve got a great idea, put it into Word and send it to the designer. Got images? Toss them into Word too. Flowcharts are definitely best in Excel. All your assets should come in some Microsoft document because everyone loves Microsoft Office.

Fonts

Comic Sans is the best font ever. Hands down.

More is better

What?s all that white space? Lets add some images up in that margin. Also, we can shorten up the page if we get rid of all that white space in-between paragraphs. Margins and padding are for dummies. That?s valuable real estate. Ohh maybe we could put some clip art up there.

The Logo

Always send your logos to the graphic designer in a Word document. Didn?t we already learn this? It should be small and low quality. Don?t worry, they?ll be able to perform magic and make it look awesome; at no extra cost of course. Once they get it in the design, always ask for it to be bigger. Bigger is better.

Get Specific Generic

Here are good things to say to your designer: I want a design that really speaks to me. Something that is now. Can we add a little pizazz and jazz it up just a bit? Make it pop. Our goal here is to make it beautiful.

Then when the designer adds pizazz and all that jazz, tell them that you don't want your website to look like that. What the hell were they thinking?

Colors

Pick colors like red and blue because they are patriotic. And when the design comes back to you, tell them you didn?t want red red. Have them bump it down a notch. And that blue is to blue. How about we change that to more of a sky blue. And where is the green?

Deadlines

Take your time approving the design. This is an important decision so take days, weeks or even longer. But once you give the feedback, demand that the designer turn it around in less than 24 hours. I mean, how hard can his job be? You did all the work here.

And we?re done!

This is great, it's perfect. We?re all done, except can we make the lady a little more happy and that blue is more of a morning sky blue, can we change it to evening sky blue?

Ohh and I have another project for you. Since you know my style, can we do it in 1/2 the time and cost this time? It's pretty much the same thing, only different colors and layout

Very nice. Might be a good idea to learn some HTML and CSS, you'd have a lot more freedom than using Weebly.

Also this has to be the best fan made costume I've seen.

Ah! Brilliant! Very good organization. Your Sackboy on the Home page almost looks like it's a 3D render, cool! The levels page is very good too, everything seems to have its own image accompanying it.
