Here I'll be posting my current development of a Business Web Layout I'm currently making in Photoshop. Here's a first pic to see how it looks like so far:

Yes, it is in Polish, because I wanna sell it to a friend of mine.

Comment on what I need to change/add/remove.

you need more to draw in the person to the name of the website but looks nice so far :D

It's very clean and nice. I would make the "go" button of the search area rounded too, since it fits with the theme of the menubar. Also, will the menubar items have a hover image? Those will need to be added too. Make sure the background can be tiled, or at least cleanly stretched to fit the browser window. Other than that, it looks good. ^_^

How will you be exporting it as a HTML webpage? Slices and export as images and HTML, or just images, and manually create the HTML?

I have no clue what anything means either, but from what I understand It looks pretty nice :3

Zion, he told me that when he sells this, whoever bought it will have to cut it up themselves and implement it into their website. I still don't really understand either. XD

Update of todays work:

The Logo and the Search bar is still there, but I couldn't fit it all at once.

The image will be changed. I just put it there, because the emptiness was irritating me.

Some styling on any image placed there would be good, although that's usually done in CSS. Also, the main content could to with being a teeny bit narrower to be inline with the menubar. It is looking awesome though. ^_^

It won't be inline with the menu. Tried seeing what it'd look like, but I don't like it being lined up with the Menu

New ranks, hopefully Zion likes them and implements them on here. The colour is red because I made them for someone else, and he allowed for me to use them.

Red is a bit scary ._. Thats why I got Kiwi a purple Collar X3 And my dog a blue one... but thats not the point.
Nice design though XD

I like them, text could to with being made bigger and clearer though. I went for the Visitor font because it's blocky like Minecraft, but it seems slightly out of place for the forums.

If you want, I can pass over the .psd of the ranks images that we use currently. Those exact colours, and number of ranks are to be kept. :3

It's meant to be big because it's not a banner. It's a header ;d

Why is that the LB Photo Realism banner? Do you just want it cause it looks cool, or is the site related for LB Photo Realism?

My computer mouse is broken currently. I am forced to use the laptop touchpad, and doing graphics with that is just too much effort. Currently learning how to code websites, so you might see some of my coded websites in the near future :)

What program are you using to make this web layout? I want to learn how to do this too because it looks cool and seems fun/challenging

Author:  Melancholia [ Sat 26 May, 2012 - 9:12 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: XantosArt Showing Off

Notepad++ - Making the code
WampServer - Putting the website files so I can view them by typing in 'localhost' in the URL bar of my web browser
Adobe Photoshop CS5 - For graphics

I got my computer back, and also bought a very cool gaming mouse, so I will be back to graphics and at the same time will be learning how to code :)

Post subject:  Re: XantosArt Showing Off

Could you use WordPad for coding and Paint.NET for graphics?

Author:  Melancholia [ Sat 26 May, 2012 - 11:37 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: XantosArt Showing Off

WordPad - Definatly not. You need something that has built-in recognition of coding languages. Notepad++ has that, it's freeware.

Paint.NET - Definatly not, as well. If you want you website to look professional, then I suggest you get either Photoshop, or GIMP. GIMP is freeware, while you have to pay for Photoshop.

Author:  Walrus Prince [ Sun 27 May, 2012 - 5:17 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: XantosArt Showing Off

Ah, okay.
Sooooo, to design the template, you would just create it on GIMP, no? And then I'll have to learn HTML, PHP, and that other stuff <.<

Author:  yellowyellow [ Mon 28 May, 2012 - 9:05 am ]
Post subject:  Re: XantosArt Showing Off

You can create some pretty nifty stuff in Paint.net. The only thing stopping you from making anything unprofessional is you and how you use your software. Not everybody has access to software like Photoshop and may have to use freeware, and Paint.net has many tools to help you make some professional looking stuff, but it may not be as good as something that may have been produced in photoshop.

one does not simply become an artist just because they own software or tools.
