Default 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.

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.

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
