To make it More interesting, use the Sepia tool in Paint Shop or Gimp/Photoshop and make it look like a world war 2 picture.

EDIT: looks like the sepia is a bit too strong for it.. I'll show the greyscale version instead!

Saridley Kronah · Jul 09, 2005, 04:33 AM // 04:33

No... I dont want a WW2 version.. I like bring and colourful to catch attention, and yes i do know what i am talking about because i am quite good at marketing. :P

EDIT: and the quality of the greyscale one is weird

...o.O

did you blur tool that necro!
wow that's bright...

Saridley Kronah · Jul 10, 2005, 08:27 AM // 08:27

Isn't blur i just used Diffuse.

ubernesss · Jul 10, 2005, 08:34 PM // 20:34

i think the necro on the right side of the front page of the main site is better...(you can find it in the poster section)

Saridley Kronah · Jul 11, 2005, 01:08 AM // 01:08

I preferred to use my necro for obvious reasons.
- He is pointing like the old uncle sam posters
- He is wearing the guild cape
- He has cool colour patterns on the armor.

EDIT: And if i used eve it woulda looked like a poster for a brothel.

My comment was not a compliment. If you are in marketing, then you may very well be responsible for the ads that I hate.

Omega_2005 · Jul 11, 2005, 09:56 AM // 09:56

Sardley, the picture is quite good, and I was saying you could edit it a bit until you make a very good picture. Try editing it using various paint programs until you're satisfied with what you want. I'd suggest a Blue to black gradient going downwards showing that the Guild has lots of necros in it.

If you don't want to edit it, that's fine

keep up the good work!

Saridley Kronah · Jul 13, 2005, 11:25 AM // 11:25

Uhh ill just say this.
I payed $500 for my copy of PS 7.0 >.< and now i dont wanna buy any other programs.
I pretty much like it how it is but it is just simply one poster and posters arent ment to be glits and glangle.

The letters are too confusing. Too many colors clashing. I take one look at this and I want to get away as fast as possible. My eyes don't know where to focus.

Amnisac · Jul 13, 2005, 05:05 PM // 17:05

Ouch, you payed for your PS?

About the poster, try to do something more wiht the background. Try FIlter>Render>Clouds. It's simple, but at your level it seems the best route besides just a plain color for the BG. If you do that, then the colored version would be better. but try to use blacks reds, and purples, to match your necro, rather than the sparatic random colors you had for the first one.

Edit: Make the poster size smaller, so It can fit on and average screen without you having to scroll. And move your necro closer to the words, that way there is less negative space in the middle (The most common spot people look first) You want as little negative space as possible.

Another thing, I don't want to be picky or anything, just trying to help, But Necronis isn't a word. Do Necrotic instead, if that works.

Finally! Someone of like mind. This would not recruit very many people.

The original is nauseating.
The greyscale doesn't look enough like the old WWII posters for most people to "get it". They'll think "oh, there's a guy and he's pointing and he says he wants me. Sort of like that Uncle Sam poster" instead of "wow! That looks just like that Uncle Sam poster!" or "where have I seen this before...?"

Might want different colors.

Use complimenting colors. Stuff that seems to fade into itself but is actually different colors and other crazy stuff like that.

Black is always your friend.
