It doesn't matter if he spent 1o minutes or 3 days, if he used mega-super-duper software and hardware or just Paintbrush in an old 386, what matters is the result, and as you can see, most people got impressed with his gallery. ie: nobody thought of making the girls' eyes all black, he did. And it happens that gothic people likes to use contact lenses, being one of the most popular the "all black". I know that, but I'd never think about it. He did because he knows the niche.

And speaking of talent, I think he's talented enough to do great stuff

I said I liked the design, just thought more design concepts could have been used. I agree, a lot of people responded well to it, I guess I just enjoy being impressed by talents of the designer, such as Trolleater, who actually changed the eye color of the main girl as well, and who posted his first. Since this IS a contest, catching someone's eye should be the first priority, which Troll's gallery definitaly does with it's color scheme and layout.

LOL here's my (quick) try:

OK, OK, just doesn't agree. To me, Voodoo's gallery is something noticeable, and the other gallery is good, but TO ME, nothing to remember. Again, I don't care about design skills, but ideas. And as a designer, if you want to make a skills comparation, I don't find much in that Troll's gallery (warning: not saying it's bad, just nothing extraordinary). btw, 99% if not all galleries chose the same color scheme (red, bordeaux, white and black) and the layout itself (5 pics row/banner/5 pics row) is the same most of us were using for the last 6 years.

Again, opinions, everyone has his own

btw, what the heck am I doing supporting someone else design?

Tuga · 04-01-2003, 05:33 PM

Here's another one:

Gallery 2

So far.

-=HOAX=- · 04-01-2003, 06:27 PM

I would think that something less graphical would be a better choice for galleries...

Alot of these look like bandwidth burners...not to mention load times for the 56gayers would lose you a sale or two for sure...

Or is that not a judged factor in this contest...?

I was thinking that, too, but I don't think it counts for this contest.

Thats a good question about colors too though. Do you think people associate the "red/white on black" thing to be gothic more now ?

It used to be more of a deep velvet purple and black and pale skin.. almost a deathly pallor with the deep "blue blood" vein colors, etc...

Look at some of these excellent drawings by Rachael Huntington.

AlienQ - BANNED FOR LIFE · 04-02-2003, 03:27 AM

Brujah- I think your askin the wrong people man

Gothic is a cultural segment not many understand nor care to understand. Make them stop bangin there heads on the wall please!

End the madness

Tuga · 04-02-2003, 04:22 AM

Those are some nice drawings, and somehow I agrre with AlienQ.
To create a great gallery we must understand the goth segment, and we cant know every segment out there, so you must help us out with the colors, text, etc.. You know what sells in your area.

Ah yes, but I think the idea of the contest is that he wants to know who can do a good job without the help.

VeriSexy · 04-02-2003, 05:31 AM

Those galleries look amazing but some of them are huge. What are the chances of even getting listed on the bigger tgps? They all seem to want more content and less ads =/

Wouldn't most tgps owns consider them full page ads?

I think this is meant, at least in part, to help him find people with design talent. The niche is one where the look of things really matters, so people who can do something creative make a big difference. At least, that's my take.

Tuga · 04-02-2003, 07:49 AM

Here's another one, probably the last one, I'm happy with it.

Gallery 3

Ian · 04-02-2003, 08:06 AM

So... time is running out and we have a lot of submissions.. why dont you look at them and tell us who should win? And 2nd and 3rd place... just to keep this exciting until the deadline.

Brujah · 04-02-2003, 02:45 PM

It's rumored that a designer of the highest calibre is holding out until Friday to post his entry(s).

Tuga · 04-02-2003, 03:14 PM

ehehe maybe more than one... That was my first idea too, but then there was so many people looking at this thread... I couldnt hold back.

Stump · 04-04-2003, 02:08 AM

How do you guys make those galleries so perfect? I mean, how do you get all the individual images to line up so perfectly to make that "paysite tour" look?

Reason I'm asking is because I've been working on my design skills for some time, and this is one thing I've yet to master

Do you just make a big "poster" image and then chop it up, or what?

AlienQ - BANNED FOR LIFE · 04-04-2003, 02:24 AM

I like that:

Who is gonna send out thugs to peoples houses to enforce this wonderful marketing technique to actually enhance click through ratio??

"Enter or Die"

Seen some kool banners that read along the lines of:

"Click here or this pimp slaps this Hoe!" then another below it
and it reads:
"Click Here to See This Pimp Slap This Hoe"

Refletive words to tantalise the click through in different segments working with Irony.

Tuga · 04-04-2003, 02:48 AM

Your IP has been logged. Click here now or I'll go to your house and rape you and your bitch.

That should increase CTR

TheViper · 04-04-2003, 06:02 AM

Yea right, if you use that as text people will do Alt F4 instantly...

Brujah · 04-04-2003, 06:17 AM

It's just a button and 3 words.. remember it's a gothic horror site.. not a teen thumbnail gallery. Did you forget that ?

Tuga · 04-04-2003, 07:46 AM

Most people dont even know what Alt+F4 is.

TheViper · 04-04-2003, 08:27 AM

Well you should try it then

Tuga · 04-04-2003, 08:29 AM

I just did that, but Opera always closes before I can see what it does.
