i know exactly what you mean.. you can see it so clearly in your mind but can't get it to come out on the screen. AND it's hard to explain to someone else too.

JulianSosa · 04-16-2004, 10:33 PM

Ok mr Jupz

1st put the thumbs in there own cells
Dream weaver insert new table rows 1 collums 4 cell padding 5 border =1 width 572 to match your logo

Copy and paste the table once below the bottom row of thumbs
Move all the top thumbs into the top table
Move all the bottom thumbs into the bottom table

Upload and let me see it

Would you give up one of the skills that you ARE good at, to be a designer?

We all have different talents. Stick to your strengths, and let others help you with theirs.

did you set it to 572 pixels or 572%? Make sure it's 572 pixels...572 isn't that big of a table.

brizzad · 04-16-2004, 10:46 PM

hahahahahaha each thumb to be the same size

Doctor Dre · 04-16-2004, 10:49 PM

Turn the border of the table off and remove the inner shadow on the top text and your gallery will look much much cleaner

Getting there but I think he is right try the border turned off and its will look cleaner if you get rid of those 2 landscape thumbs and replace the images with portraits

JulianSosa · 04-16-2004, 10:57 PM

Also might wanna try putting all the thumbs and logo etc in one big table that is pink then change the page back ground colour to white or some thing.

Try putting a border on just the big table.

Insert new table rows 1 collums 1 border 2
Then change the border colour on that table to some thing other than default grey

Chris · 04-16-2004, 11:12 PM

i was told by someone i dont have enough thumbs so i thought something like this

would link the test thumbs to a larger headshot or something of some other ' models '

www.wild-party-movies.com/af/TEST.html

JulianSosa · 04-16-2004, 11:16 PM

Id pull the red border on the inner tables then add a big ass bold verdana bold +5 SEE MORE CUM FACES CLICK HERE below the lower row of thumbs.

Then I think your good to go

JulianSosa · 04-16-2004, 11:18 PM

Id say another 2 rows of thumbs in the big table not outside

like that?

i'd add more thumbs but im worried about giving the surfer to much

you know .. wanna get them to click not blow it before they can get out the CC

Sly_RJ · 04-16-2004, 11:22 PM

Chris, you're going to need more thumbs. I would shoot for 15-20 pictures per gallery, try to stay closer to 15. Looks like you're pushing a facials site, don't post the actual facial but lead up to it. Possibly add a link telling the surfer where he can find the facial.

A lot of people like using graphics on their galleries, which is fine, but you need to remember that search engines don't read graphics. Add a little text at the top and center of the page, telling the surfer what's going on and what he can expect at Amateur Facials. The search engines will pick up on this text as well and you may find yourself getting a little traffic from Google a month or two down the road.

Chris · 04-16-2004, 11:22 PM

thnx for all your tips playa ;)

made shit look alot better but my brain is toast toinght

peace bro

Ar3s · 04-16-2004, 11:27 PM

I know what you mean bro

misty · 04-16-2004, 11:27 PM

I am a graphic designer myself, and I understand what you mean... Most of the work I was drawing in school was never as good as in my head...which makes you deppreciate your work, even if the others are impressed...you only feel disappointed...

The thing I learned from that is the more you know, like in Photoshop or Illustrator or matching colors or whatever, the better you will be able to reproduce the masterpiece you have in your head.

keep learning.

Read Slys advice too its right on

reynold · 04-19-2004, 09:46 PM

I totally agree with you. It is quite frustrating to have these ideas yet you dont know how to get them out.

sake · 04-19-2004, 09:50 PM

dont make your thumbs .GIFs

Webasic · 04-19-2004, 09:51 PM

leave it to us designer

HS-Trixxxia · 04-19-2004, 09:52 PM

Just a stupid question I have about borders - how do you get a broken line border like - - - - - - - - - all around the image?

Martin · 04-19-2004, 09:53 PM

Here is a TIP. Pay a designer to do it

deleteduser · 04-19-2004, 09:54 PM

you should start make alot of designs for your self - use photoshop (dont use all filters available) and you will learn!

180° · 04-19-2004, 09:58 PM

Here's one to help you with ideas. I can't possibly type all the things wrong with yours

Add a "style" tag to your image, something like this:

s.tyle="BORDER-RIGHT: #3399FF 2px dotted; BORDER-TOP: #3399FF 2px dotted; BORDER-LEFT: #3399FF 2px dotted; BORDER-BOTTOM: #3399FF 2px dotted"

Obviously...removing the . that I had to put in st.yle for it to show up.

You're a sweetheart, thanks! I've been trying to figure that shit out but didn't have a 'name' for it so couldn't successfully search for it :-)

No problem. I'm sure you can figure out how to make any needed changes. Good luck

pimplink · 04-20-2004, 01:21 AM

Good job, guys! Nice to know there are a lot of designers still willing to share their know-hows.

eiht_98 · 04-20-2004, 01:24 AM

beemk · 04-20-2004, 01:26 AM
