Some hand drawn typography. Based on Bodoni/baskerville, the classic art nouveau look of grand central along with the large amount of connections that grand central provides


btw this is a very scaled down version, its a 420x600 originally

I'm not a fan of how the 'Central' A loops through the L and touches the N, but the style is fantastic.

horizontal or vertical scroll?

I personally prefer the horizontal scroll since it relates back to the gallery/exhibition space idea throughout the site

Horizontal. But only because I don't need to scroll on my widescreen ^^

Oh we can post websites?

My fall/spring project ended with this: http://www.atlascinemas.net

I'd love feedback.

Dont bevel&emboss and say NO to drop shadow. Move the directions links to fit with the 4 colours grid you have going on (ie taking up just the 2 end columns) and lose the gradient at the top.Make that whole banner area black. All of those things detract from the sophisticated feel you could achieve as at the minute its a bit cheesey. The facebook,contact etc row all feels a bit big and in your face, theyd be better smaller and more subtle rather than trying to slap you in the face (let face it no one gives a shit about facebook even if they are a fan of you on there).

I like the middle bit though,the curtain works pretty well i think.

Both designs work equally well; so it's easy: vertical. You want to make it as easy as humanly possible for a client to navigate the site, and while almost everyone knows how to use a scrollwheel, there's surprisingly little people who are comfortable pressing it down.

Just did this. Isn't he lovely? lol!

Awww.. those little red guys are sOooo cute!

dude looks like my brother.

Updated my project. My kitten now has a sexy body.

that looks worse now,its all so blurry

^Any suggestions of how to get rid of the crosshatch effect?

I want it to at least look a tab bit blurred where as the the whole images when finnished is to be very bright. Light will be surroundig the beast to express that it comes across as pleasent and lovely to the sight, however pure evil within all the same.

Err, don't use the crosshatch filter in the first place?

Basically, if you're going to use a filter that is destructive, make sure you back up the layer.

30min speedpaint to see if I'm not too rusty.

Damn veri, that's awesome stuff right there, especially the sky.

Ring of Fire

^I'm mad I actually watched that and happy there are no comments lol.

i thought it was pretty funny. my friend and i have been doing things simelar to that. difference being, he's using a RC speedboat motor instead of a drill.
