Nuclear Blast 5 Graphics V2
 
In the interest of keeping things organized I offered to help IcyWorld manage a thread and keep some graphics organized.

Its important to note that I have no actual involvement or influence of the pack. All I'm doing is keeping an updated graphics and doing a little bit of organizational work to keep the pack moving along. I know many people out there are very excited for this pack and I just wanted to do what I could to offer a little bit of help.

Current Graphics: http://phconcept.com/nb5/nb5.html
I'm using this page to keep everything organized because this is easy for me. Plus I think its a cool way to go about it. Would like some feedback on what people think of this!

Graphics are needed for the following files (1 remaining)
Format: Song Name [artist] (stepartist) http://link.to.music

Talk to icy before doing Squartatrice, he's said to me that he wants a cool picture of Miki Sayaka for this set but I'm not sure what picture he really wants.
Squartatrice [Miki Sayaka vs. Miki Sayaka (fw. Miki Sayaka)] (IcyWorld) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2qUNdQySgw


Graphics Reviews From First Thread (From IcyWorld)
Quote:

12 little fragments of silence (i don't like the contrast thing going on here, and it's too bright for sm i think)

Amber Starlight (updated graphics or a better set)

Be My Pet (i'll go with the pink girl unless anaru prefers the other one)

Eagle (too bright and unappealing :( )

Fallen World (I liked the picture I found for this, gonna try to find it again, I don't like the filter and font used for it here)

Future Dominators (I'm not sure if I like this one)

Jersey Spirit (going with the one with multiple chicks)

Jomanda (needs a new set)

Legend of The Black Shawarma (I like the pic I found, would be nice to use that one for making graphics with)

Paradiso (going with 2nd set)

Polis Ruin (going with the set from FFR4)

Psyche Planet (going with the set from FFR Summer 2011)

Revival of Kalpa (I like my picture would be nice to have updated version)

Send My Love to Mars (I wish there was a graphics set that basically matches the song lyrics. Some hot anime chick with her face against a tv screen with a rocket ship going to mars.)

Squartatrice (I feel the bg might be a bit too bright)

To Dimension (going with the set with miku that has the wings and the guitar facing the right like a badass)

Touch The Angel (feels a bit dim and not ecchi)

Vicious Delicious (not sure I like this set)..


CDTitles Missing From the Following Artists/Songs:

CBR & Torrent (Stepped: LuvLabPoison 22ate!)
neontimebomb & IcyWorld (Stepped: Neopolitan Dreams)
rCaliberGX vs Icyworld (Stepped: Back to the Gate)


I think that's everything. If you notice any inaccuracies or anything missing please let me know!

wafles is a sexy man for doing this
thank you <3

edit just in case anyone is still interested submissions are still open as well (until the pack is released)

Re: Nuclear Blast 5 Graphics V2
 
Don't see how 12lfos's gfx could be too bright, but I'll try something else with the text.

EDIT had to redo them since I lost the .psd, but as a bonus, you got jomanda gfx. o:







Alioth 03-3-2014 02:03 PM

Re: Nuclear Blast 5 Graphics V2
 
I really like both graphics, but I'd say that Jomanda fits the mood of the song more if you ask me. 12LFoS is excellent, too, but the mood of the song seems more chaotic if you ask me XD

are you guys going to include an artist credit in the pack? or somewhere? lots of nice gfx in here

What do you mean? Like an included .txt file or something?

cedolad 03-3-2014 02:14 PM

Re: Nuclear Blast 5 Graphics V2
 
Yeah, or a readme with the pack creators thoughts and everyone's input. Crediting the gfx crew would be in there too.

Wafles 03-3-2014 02:18 PM

Re: Nuclear Blast 5 Graphics V2
 
Makes sense, I see no reason why not (unless Icy doesn't want to for whatever reason).

icontrolyourworld 03-3-2014 02:18 PM

Re: Nuclear Blast 5 Graphics V2
 
I always try to give credit to everyone that helps with the pack, from files submitted that aren't even accepted, to graphics, to moral support, etc.

Some GFX I've been working on...not up to par though :(

I'm learning all sorts of new fun photoshop stuff lately :)

Wafles, your gfx are getting better and better. You make tasteful choices and most of them look very sleek! :D

Wafles 03-4-2014 02:16 AM

Re: Nuclear Blast 5 Graphics V2
 
:3 thanks for the feedback!

Arntonach 03-4-2014 02:45 AM

Re: Nuclear Blast 5 Graphics V2
 
All I can say is that you should increase the opacity of "The Queenstons" and fix the misspelling.

Wafles 03-4-2014 03:59 AM

Re: Nuclear Blast 5 Graphics V2
 
I'll tweak it a bit tomorrow, turns out its mispelled in the .sm too and after looking around I couldn't figure out where it even came from in the first place so I just went with that haha.

edit: actually just did it now quick, only took a minute
edit2: noticed a color mistake, updated again rofl >.<

XelNya 03-4-2014 08:15 AM

Re: Nuclear Blast 5 Graphics V2
 
I'm not the best graphic maker (by any stretch of the imagination.)

However, you guys should get this one modified or replaced.



- White on white <- Fix this if nothing else. It's obnoxiously displeasing to try and read this.
- It's simply just blown up background where they literally used the drag tool.
- Boring ass font (subjective comment I suppose.)


- Text in the bottom left exists. Clone that shit out. It's distracting as hell. Or you could crop it and drag it a tad. It wouldn't look as choppy as the banner I'd think.

Just my two cents.

Wafles 03-4-2014 02:57 PM

Re: Nuclear Blast 5 Graphics V2
 
I'll find a high res version of that image and make some new text for it. Thanks for your feedback.

Mollocephalus 03-4-2014 03:44 PM

Re: Nuclear Blast 5 Graphics V2
 
banner is cringeworthy, lol

Arntonach 03-4-2014 04:15 PM

Re: Nuclear Blast 5 Graphics V2
 
Aside from what xelnya already said, the text in the banner could be a bit lower so it's looks like it's more eye pleasing. Background image's just uninteresting as a whole though, but that's subjective I suppose.

i really hope this file is good cause god damn i ended up spending a lot of time on this one

Re: Nuclear Blast 5 Graphics V2
 
I know icy wanted to initially use this bg for black shawarma but I think its fine for Vicious Delicious instead, quick simple set :)




Imgur probably gave some jpg artifacts on the bg but I have it saved as png on my end, puu.sh wasnt cooperating tonight for some reason

I'll update the webpage I hosted about once/week btw. This gives an opportunity to let images get peer reviewed here a bit (to check for spelling errors and the like)

Mollocephalus 03-5-2014 01:56 AM

Re: Nuclear Blast 5 Graphics V2
 
mix it up a bit maybe? looks a bit dull right now

Wafles 03-5-2014 02:21 AM

Re: Nuclear Blast 5 Graphics V2
 
I think I'll revisit the banner, the bg has enough going on to justify simplicity there but I think the banner might be lacking in comparison

Arntonach 03-5-2014 03:48 AM

Re: Nuclear Blast 5 Graphics V2
 
Doesn't really fit the song too much. I gave it a shot since I was bored.





Mollocephalus 03-5-2014 09:55 AM

Still looks a bit low res but it's definitely better imo

redone text, 1:1'd the pixels

Arntonach 03-6-2014 04:16 AM

Re: Nuclear Blast 5 Graphics V2
 
Just a quick tip I picked up from my mom of all people, since I've noticed this a lot. When it comes to the positioning of the text, try to keep the center of it either near or below the vertical center of the image so the text doesn't feel randomly placed, or as my mom put it 'loose'.

Gundam-Dude 03-6-2014 12:29 PM

Re: Nuclear Blast 5 Graphics V2
 
I always argue that dead center is boring, dull, and uninteresting. Offsetting to a side is more visually pleasing as it's natural for text and body copy to be left/right aligned rather than centered. And I guess if you're incredibly OCD and take into consideration layout guides such as the golden ratio, nothing is ever dead center as the sweet spot is always offset to a side.

Although, in the case with headline type like in Stepmania banners, dead center is a little more acceptable due to the space constraints, so it's not a big deal—with backgrounds though, it's more jarring considering the amount of space you have to work with.

idk just my opinion as a designer, but it really doesn't matter in the end when this is for STEPMANIA

[9:12:30 PM] Nick Weiss(IcyWorld): ok just played send my love to mars with the anime graphics, i think i like them that way :D
[9:12:45 PM] Nick Weiss(IcyWorld): way more fitting now that i see it togeter xD

Re: Nuclear Blast 5 Graphics V2
 
Mollo going ham on the graphics! I really like your back to the gate graphics, I was considering doing something with that set to mimic the Steins;Gate logo but I think your set turned out nicer than mine would have.

I'll update the kerning in Revival of Kalpa or find a different font. Thanks for pointing that out.

I'll update the thread later this evening after I'm off of work.

Thanks everyone for your help!

Website and OP have both been updated.

Mollocephalus 03-16-2014 03:11 AM

Re: Nuclear Blast 5 Graphics V2
 
remade text cause it wasn't very fitting with a song that goes like TATATATATA DDRRRRRDDDRRR also better banner crop




made an entire new set for this



made a new banner for this cause the other one was too clustered and bad to read


redone gfx



redone gfx



no way i'm gonna take this song seriously, also background is a cheeseburger (murica!)



another fallen world file lol not so happy with the result but it works i guess


Mollocephalus 03-16-2014 03:18 AM

Re: Nuclear Blast 5 Graphics V2
 
here are some missing cdtitles

Mollocephalus 03-16-2014 04:52 AM

Re: Nuclear Blast 5 Graphics V2
 
8 gfx remaining now










fun fact, when i was looking for source images for haelequin i found some disturbing images of deformed babies, apparently born with the harLequin syndrome. Was tempted to use one in the gfx but i prefer to keep it clean :p

Sick graphics though, keep it up 8-)

EDIT: CBR/Choof CDtitle

if you provide me for japanese for the song title i'll add it, always thought world sound was the translation for zephon :confused:

The kanji is 世音, but for some reason it translates to Yoon... I'm pretty sure that AJ's file was World Sound (Zephon) as well (the one in Sharpnelstreamz v2), so I'm not sure what the problem is.

Mollocephalus 03-16-2014 08:44 AM

Re: Nuclear Blast 5 Graphics V2
 
It looks better without the japanese, and if the song title is the same... i guess it can stay that way! The itg file is called just "world sound", in fact.

last gfx for now and until i finish my submission i won't make more.




by the way
only 4 gfx remaining! i'll probably remake a couple more from the already made ones, but i think everything can be done within today :)

These are made by RainFalleN, not me. He/she cant post yet cuz new account, expect higher res. images soon. Just wanted to post these to avoid duplicates getting done when possible.



Mollocephalus 03-19-2014 09:54 AM

Re: Nuclear Blast 5 Graphics V2
 
Definitely needs a bibber bg size, but banner size is also off!

banner should be 512x160px
background should be 800x600 px

gfx itself looks nice enough i guess

Wafles 03-19-2014 10:55 AM

Re: Nuclear Blast 5 Graphics V2
 
The sizes will be fixed, that resolution is weird for some reason because they were sent to me via profile comment lol

RainFalleN 03-19-2014 07:04 PM

Re: Nuclear Blast 5 Graphics V2
 


I think the gfx will shrink when posted to a comment wall
Now it seems I can finally post something~:-D
It should be in right size now
=====Everything should be OK now=====

RainFalleN 03-20-2014 03:27 AM

Re: Nuclear Blast 5 Graphics V2
 
Made 3 sets for Magic Cycles, you can decide which one is the best in all three~
First Set(Res. may be low)



Second Set



Third Set
