Johnny

Heh, I understand. Stuff happens. Great entry though myard, I would have voted for it.

Hello, and welcome to the internet.

Vista's worthless, IMO.Some parlor tricks with program windows (mainly transparency),a bunch of worthless search features,extra passwords thrown everywhere to give a false sense of "advanced security",and a new start menu that's even more horrible than the original.Good game microsoft, way to send yourself 6 years backwards.I love using windows, but vista is extremely short of anything special.

I find myself to generally be pretty good.

I don't know what it is, but I like it. slow down, keep your pace this is not a horse race all you need is a taste and then brace yourself for my grace my embrace copy and paste this court case from place to place don't backspace in this interface don't misplace the preface harden your carapace tie your shoelace speed your footpace clear your headspace we're not commonplace you're a queen, I'm the ace... you make me flush I make you blush don't rush hush turning to mush from this sudden ambush this subtle onrush drawn by a paintbrush...

I didn't realize it when I thought of it, but this really coincides with a girl I'm falling for. Oh, and um, any suggestions/fixes/comments to make it better?

Grats mikey, I remember back when you first started that and we were chatting on aim or msn or something when it hit 50. A thousand times that many later, it's still going strong. 50,000 is a great achievement, nice job.

For those wondering: itsmyard's render is a airplane-type vehicle from the game final fantasy 8...I'll look up it's name and pic in a sec. EDIT: Name: Ragnarok Render: Sorry myard, looks like Avalon editted the topic to be non-fantasy things, and Final Fantasy is about as "fantasy" as it gets.

Sorry garbage, I'm just not a car guy at all...I mean, I like nice cars, but modifying them and such just doesn't do much for me.

lol, sorry kyle, it most likely wouldn't say "brought to you by..."I revived the graphics section and started SOTWs and tournaments and the gfx crew and whatnot, but you don't see any brought to you by Johnny.

Lol, I was planning on just leaving that whole section as a slice.

@Truefusion -- I'll have to pass on making things pixelly. I like the blur-ish style. Green bar will be changed.@Ava -- Numbers are for a more tech feel. It seemed kinda plain.@Kyle -- Thanks a lot.@Mike -- Good idea on the green bit. I'll probably just change it to the same blue as the bg. I'll see what I can do about the sidebars.Thanks for the input, any more would be great.

I still have to edit the header (because currently it wouldn't flow right with any background), but this is what I've gotten to so far. Comments/Suggestions?

Mike, find me on aim or something sometime. I have a question for you about the template.

W00t, thanks all. I guess I'm probably going to use initialignition then. Maybe I can sell the other ones. :lol:So hopefully sometime this weekend I can get around to starting to code that bad boy (I plan to use a bunch of css, which will be my first CSS template, and maybe some overlay dealies for the menus) and then eventually I'll pop it into my wordpress site.Anyway, thanks for the suggestions, I appreciate them all, and feel free to add more. :rolleyes:Btw biskie -- All of them are stretchable, I was just using that one as an example of how the flower thing would move. Well, it'd be tough to stretch the first one, but whatever. I never liked that one anyway.

I would have normally passed this off as another remake tutorial, but it uses a different method from gradient, so kudos for that.

Alright, I did some tinkering, keeping in mind some of your suggestions and came up with: Which would end up looking like so after content stretches it and whatnot: Better? Should I keep the text like that in the middle of the circle thing, or on top like before? Also, my personal choice of the original four would be #3, the left-aligned space/time one. Any suggestions to make that one better? I like it, but it still seems a little plain.

Actually, I forgot about that. Thanks for reminding me. Too bad the boxes are all in one layer though.

Thanks for the input. I'll try it without the drop shadows, and I'll make the triangle things full white, but as for the logo thingy, the light orange box is going to be stretched to fit the content anyway, so it still couldn't be vertically centered in relation. And I measured it out (guides and such), to be horizontally centered.

Okay guys, I'm trying to decide what template I should start coding to use on my site, I know which one I like best, but I figured it'd be best to see which one other people like. So here you go, vote choices are: 1. -- hell hath no fury 1.0 2. -- initialignition 1.0 3. -- space//time 1.0 4. -- space//time flipped 1.0 For those wondering -- I'm doing a new template for a few reasons, first of all, I've only done or or two in the past, and I need to practice. Second, my site currently has a default-ish template from wordpress that I modified a bit, and I want to replace it with an original custom one that I made from scratch. Also, my site is currently named jargon johnny, but nobody gets that, so I'm thinking of changing it to jet set johnny.

Thanks for the comments all. I got pretty much the responses I would expect -- First one's too plain, second one has big menu buttons, blazin' n drinkin...So yeah, thanks.

They're all still really simplistic...The last one is probably best.

Ditto. Sorry Albus, not trying to sound condescending or anything, but I think you have the potential to do much better.(What college costs $200?)

Way too monotone, and the smudging is pretty plain/bland. Not liking this one too much, sorry.

I usually like the "render over the border" style, but this time it just doesn't quite work. probably because of how cloud's hair is.Anyway, I like it. 9/10

The third sig is the prince from Prince of Persia (2?).Anyway myard, they look pretty good, but they're really kinda simplistic. All of them look like a little bit of brushing/smudging on a white/black background, with some default times or arial text and a render.
