Problem with ācoding a modular prototypeā is that feedback will depend almost entirely on the modules used; thereās only so many ways to do a pseudorandom āput A on top of B,ā and I doubt youāll be benchmarking performance or evaluating documentation.
On the other hand, practical experience in implementing pseudorandom āput A on top of Bā seems useful so if you feel like doing a ādesign modules for āmodular buildingā-challengeā-challenge first Iām in.
Hmm⦠Yes⦠non coding people most likely wonāt judge the technicalities of the entries. Probably just the experience of using the prototypes and/or seeing them in action. In other words: how ācoolā they look So is it about the coding then or just trying to create art by coding?
Sorry for the double post, missed these questions.
Application is designed with intent for the user to be able to put his models and a configuration file in a folder and the application would import that info and handle it. That feature is about 75% implemented.
Challenge 3 - The Old Guard Logo and Corporate Identity
To celebrate the milestone of 100 memebers Iām launching a Logo / Corporate Identity challenge for The Old Guard group!
Challenge category: Graphic Design
Time: 4 month (until Sunday 14th of June)
Requirements for the entry:
The minimum requirement is to design a logo and a Coat of Arms. But contestants can also design some or all of the following additional items:
1. Header graphic to be used in the OG thread (690x300px)
The first post graphic. Contains the name of the group, the logo / the crest and some graphical elements.
2. Heading graphic (690x80px)
Since we might not be too concerned about SEO I thought it would be cool to make some graphical headings in the OG thread. So put in some graphical elements and some Lorem ipsum filler text written in your chosen font.
3. Profile background image (1700x620px)
The default size for the profile bg image is 850x310px. But since the image is going to be scaled bigger as you view the site from certain screen sizes I would suggest doubling the dimensions. Hence 1700x620. Note! The light grey info bar on the bottom will overlap with the image.
4. User card background image (590x236px)
The user card bg image does not change itās size. It will always appear in the size of 580x323px (it is said to be 590px wide in profile preferences but I measured only 580px).
5. Optional tag for regular profile background images (280x175px)
If you use the before mentioned size for the profile bg image then there is a safe area of roughly 180x175px in the upper middle part of the image. This area will retain decent margins around it no matter what device you are using to view the page. Get the templates with the safe area here.
6.Graphical guidelines
A small guide with the chosen colors, typography and different ways the logo can be used etc. This doesnāt have to be too extensive. Just the basics.
Well the dimensions for the banner should be roughly the width of the column here in the forums. And the logo should preferably be scalable vector art or alternatively pixel art that is big enough.
The size and the use of the badge should be decided by the artists themselves.
