Nuclear Blast JS Awesome Bomb Filez 5 GRAPHICS assistance please!
 
Hello FFR graphics masterminds! I request your assistance for a project I've been working on for like 2 years, all it needs right now is graphics. I know the timing of this thread could have been better with the official tourney starting up and I do apoligize for that.

Specifics:
-Personally I would like the graphics to have something to do with the title/feel of the song. I also prefer the graphics to be somewhat dark for users that play with backgrounds on. (nothing white or super bright, it can be like medium bright that's fine)
-I would like backgrounds to be either 640x480 or 800x600
-I would like banners to be 512x160.
-Banners should include the Title and Artist of the song (I should add the artist of the song shittt)
-Lastly avoid blowing up pictures, and avoid using album covers

-Bonus points: I'll give credits to everyone whose finished graphics set makes it in the pack (there's plenty of opportunity here) and extra bonus credits if I REALLY love it. Try to include some sort of humor or something that'll just make people smile when they open the song, for example:
(Note I have 300k credits)

I've added some photos you can use at the bottom to help!
And additional examples can be found in Nuclear Blast 1-4 for what kind of stuff I like (this is the first pack where I didn't find base images for a lot of the songs and then metzger made them all fancy and perfect)


I need graphics sets for each of the following songs:

the nature of dying:
I hope you realize that the entire bottom of that background is going to be obscured completely by stepmania's score bars that sit there. you should probably move the type up a lot more if you don't want that to happen. aside from that it's fine.

12 little fragments of silence:
the background doesn't resonate or match with the song itself, even more so with the colour scheme.

scrap the bevel effects all together on the text.

the font combination doesn't work well but who the fuck knows anything about this other than me anyways, so this doesn't matter for stepmania gfx.

the banner is awkward as hell with the text placement. generally you'd want text to sit somewhere near the center or bottom of the banners because you have shit like cdtitles obscuring the top half.



if I'm bored enough and not loaded with design shit from work, I'll maybe do a few sets for the pack.

Graphics are very important to get right, especially when people are going to have high expectations for the whole pack. The least you can do is accept GD's comments as constructive criticism and try to make changes like Tibbers who has a good attitude about it. If not then be prepared for someone to make a better set and all of your work (even if it might've only been 5 minutes) is for nothing. I myself have never made a serious attempt at making gfx because I know it isn't a 5 minute process, it takes time and skill and I suppose practice.

Wafles 10-22-2013 06:11 PM

Re: Nuclear Blast JS Awesome Bomb Filez 5 GRAPHICS assistance please!
 
I would've considered having a good attitude about it but the critique comes off as disgustingly entitled and somewhat offensive to boot. I do agree with some of his points but if I'm going to be subjected to being shit on and thrown to the ground for something I did for fun then I'm just not going to bother anymore.

Choofers 10-22-2013 06:12 PM

because gd is actually entitled to critique people's graphics rofl

Of course he is, he's a professional in the field, but does that mean he has to be an asshole about it? Probably not. I'm outta here.

I just gave some personal opinion on what could be improved, so take what I said like a pinch of salt—you don't have to listen or do exactly as I say mind you. The reason why I make my points is through knowledge and experience of design and not for the sole intention of offending. I apologize if my post came off as rude, but my points are still valid regardless of which. My so-called entitlement as a professional graphic designer has nothing to do with providing a simple background critique, lmao.

In the end, these are graphics for Stepmania, so my nitpicks don't really serve any purpose and don't even matter in the first place, rofl.

Gundam may have worded his critique perhaps "harsh" (and i'm not taking sides you're both cool people) but he knows what he's talking about, and he's been doing this for a long time, I'm sure he didn't mean to be mean about it. I hope this whole thing doesn't keep you feeling sour towards him.

As for the graphics I can see xD
Nice Touch The Angel, and nice Nature of Dying
although yea it might be nice to move the text on nature of dying due to bars covering it
keep em coming :P

Ooooh graphics for simfiles. This'll be fun, epecially since this is more artsy than art history. :rolleyes:




Quick question though, why the odd dimensions on the banner?

Gundam-Dude 10-23-2013 12:07 PM

Re: Nuclear Blast JS Awesome Bomb Filez 5 GRAPHICS assistance please!
 
Practically all versions of Stepmania, including SM5, compress the image quality of banners that adhere to the classic 256x80 dimensions—usually it's the type that's affected the most and worst. By doubling the dimensions to 512x160, the compression isn't nearly as bad and won't leave JPEG artifacts everywhere, so it has pretty much become the standard for banner sizes as of now. Banners are more important than backgrounds because a larger majority of players play with 0% background brightness anyways, so you should probably spend more time making sure banners are pretty, legible, and readable.

As a side note, even though people are still sticking with 640x480 and 800x600 for backgrounds, I personally suggest going larger in size, more towards a widescreen aspect ratio because of SM5 making it the default. But like I mentioned earlier, most people play with 0% background brightness anyways, so this isn't nearly as important than how the banner should look.

Necki Menji 10-23-2013 12:32 PM

Re: Nuclear Blast JS Awesome Bomb Filez 5 GRAPHICS assistance please!
 
So 'maintain aspect ratio' isn't an option for graphic in SM5? That's dumb. :(

Oh well, I got the time to kill, might as well use it to make spiffy graphic for the pack. But wow all those sharpnel files...

I have very little Photoshop knowledge and it's my first attempt at Stepmania graphics. Needing some critique because I'm stumped on how to make it better.

Wow Alex, I really love that banner and background. I think it's amazing actually :D

Re: Nuclear Blast JS Awesome Bomb Filez 5 GRAPHICS assistance please!
 
I'm not a super-skilled graphic artist like some of the people in here, but my personal opinion:

You have the right idea for using a font color that somewhat matches the color scheme of the background graphic itself, that's a good start (and surprisingly, some people don't do this intuitively). In addition, the font used for GORESHIT also works for me personally.

I personally don't like the font for the thinking of you, especially considering you picked something extremely smooth and relatively circular to oppose something that is a bit more sharper/concise -- my issue with the fonts could be the overall thickness difference between them.

For someone who is brand new, it's not a bad attempt at all.

I tried to make a set, its not the greatest but eh




Edit: Realized there's already a Jersey Spirit set on page 2 that I didn't notice. Use whichever one you like more I guess :p

Re: Nuclear Blast JS Awesome Bomb Filez 5 GRAPHICS assistance please!
 
@alex: I say this to everyone, so I'm not only ragging on you for this, but don't combine different typefaces unless you have any knowledge about typography. much like colour theory having complementary colours, typefaces are also complementary to one another and should resonate together. I kind of figured that maybe it'd be some sort of common sense that mixing a geometric sans-serif with something that is condensed doesn't resonate together in most cases, but that apparently doesn't stop regular peeps that know absolutely nothing about typography from doing it, lol. then again, this isn't even meant to be professional work to begin with, it's fucking stepmania graphics, so frankly this doesn't even matter and this comment shouldn't be taken to heart unless you're actually interested in a typography crazed designer's opinion.

other than the typeface choice, what you also might want to consider is decreasing the point size of GORESHIT by maybe half of what it is now, to create a hierarchy of information. because the song title and artist are nearly the same point sizes, both are fighting for a visual focal point as to which comes first, the song title or the artist—people unfamiliar with the artist might even mix the two up, haha. other than me being picky and ranting about type, you should probably lose the black stroke on the song title as it looks completely jarring when combined with a thin typeface like the one you chose—it would also harmonize with GORESHIT, as it has no stroke at all. consider using typefaces with a variety of weights from thin/light to bold/black and experiment with using them to create contrast (e.g. making the song title bold while the artist in a much lighter weight). in most cases, the larger the difference the weight (re: light v.s. extra bold) the greater and better the contrast the type gives, which further increases visual appeal/interest and defines a strict hierarchy of information.

another thing to be mindful about is where exactly you're placing type because for people that run versions 3.9 or 3.95 with the default theme, there exist black bars located along both left and right edges that will completely obscure anything too close to either of them. in addition, the top and bottom scoring bars during gameplay are also elements that are large enough to obscure key areas in the background image, so you shouldn't place type near the top or bottom edges either. pretty much, around the center is the sweet spot, but from a designer's perspective, try to avoid placing type dead center because it's arguably a lot less stale and boring when it's offset to either side.

lastly, for people running default themes of 3.9 or 3.95, because a simfile author's cdtitle is located at the top right of a banner by default, that too is another element that may obscure type on a banner. arguably, I'd say the cdtitle+banner awareness is more important than the how the background looks during gameplay, because a large majority play with 0% background brightness, and everyone is too focused on reading the notes anyways.

but anyways, the set is pretty good for a first try, alex! good job dude.

actually, a lot of what I said above can be applied to a lot of your guys' graphics, lol. consider my critique/advice for future sets at your own discretion I guess. if not, just continue what you're doing, it doesn't really matter in the end when it's stepmania graphics, lol.

Since I already cut the dj sharpnel logo I figured I'd do another set quick

some double-stroking on the font might make it look a little better, but I really had no ideas making this anyway *shrug*

People got much better at graphics making lately :')

wafles, regarding your gfx on past page, move the text a bit to the center both in the banner and backgrounds. you positioned it in places where it can be covered by game graphics.

Wafles 01-29-2014 12:17 AM

Re: Nuclear Blast JS Awesome Bomb Filez 5 GRAPHICS assistance please!
 
Yeah I might redo both of those tomorrow. I don't like the font for either of them, looks a little sloppy anyway.

All these GFX for this pack are amazing. This will probably end up being the best overall JS pack in the world.

artist for haelequin is orangentle (all lowercase), DID is the name of the group who did the BGA for the BMS file.

Updated Nergal Burning. I'll leave Jersey☆Spirit as is and icy can use the other set for that one :)

meatboy is creepy in general
boy with no skin
dr fetus

etc.



more shrpnl




not exactly what i wanted for the font for this one but i couldn't find something better and didn't want to spend a whole ton of time customizing something :(


another quick one, this one could very well be rejected but i didn't know what to do for this set so i just used a wallpaper for the band that made the original song




edit: last set for now, figured i'd use the sharpnel cut again since i have it.
wanted to get the name right on this since caliber reminds me about the name of this file every time it comes up


TC_Halogen 01-29-2014 11:50 PM

Re: Nuclear Blast JS Awesome Bomb Filez 5 GRAPHICS assistance please!
 
I feel like it's necessary to add the "250" to The Battle of Lil' Slugger, because the original song is 200 BPM.
