SRL LANDING PAGE GRAPHICS - Round 2


Hobbit

2012-02-14 01:34:05

Okay. So I did a HUGE redesign of the proposed landing page. The current (not yet implemented one) was too muddled and messy. So we brain stormed ideas and this is what I mocked up today.

This represents the simplistic feel we are going for and roughly how we want it to look. I just suck at making images so if you could please have a go, that'd be great :)

Points:
-SRL Logo "mounted" to the back like that in a rough solid kinda look
-3 Buttons
—1 with SRL Cog
—1 with Simba Logo
—1 with some form of representation for forums
Will also need roll over versions for these buttons
And feel free to make your own interpretations. Like if you want to do a depressed outline of the cog, simba head, w/e into the button, or outlines or w/e. Play around with it.

Also open to slight background suggestions, but want to keep it this kind of style.

Overall look, please keep it a matte sort of finish and not shiny.
Example :

If you can think of any other additions or suggestions, feel free :)


EDIT: FORGOT TO LINK TO MOCK UP:
Http://www.thehhd.com/SRL2/
Please stick to this style

And yes, I know my mock up images are super crappy. I did not have a lot of time and am not talented with graphics :p

Which logo specifically are you referring to when you say the "SRL logo"? Or are you wanting us to come up with something?

Srl was always against endless loops, but:
srl resource library => (srl resource library) resource library => ((srl resource library) resource library) resource library

Every programming language is against endless loops.

It's recursion, it makes us more 1337. Realistically, since it used to be the Scar Resource Library, wouldn't it make more sense to make it the Simba Resource Library?

Yes Hobbit, I just tried and was pretty helpfull :)
And also the app 'FindMyiPhone' is really great! Using it on pcm it's very cool!
But I'm having some problems, because some data doesn't appear on the iCloud. But I'll take a deeper look. Thanks again for showing it. Without any more stuff to say, let's return to the topic.

I like the idea of the new landing page graphics. Now, the Simba logo, isn't possible to get a vectorial one? You know, more detailed/resolution logo?

I think that we should take inspiration from other good software sites rather than having a fairly uninformative landing page that links to three different sites. I think that a little text could go a long way towards being more informative. IMO, there should be a download link, that directly starts a download, and can redirect or something to wizzup's site, because that looks fairly informative. The forums link is fine, but unless srl isnt autobundled with simba (which i thought it was), then i don't see much point in it.

Im not saying that it needs to be as wordy as it was during the first round, but i personally find that the first round ones look more professional, and are all around more useful. (i also liked the color coded text buttons better)

Bebe

I feel as if the landingpage should be more informative than the current examples everybody is posting. Try to incorporate text explaining what SRL(mission statement) and Simba is so that people can properly decide which of the links they want to be directed towards whichout having to "guess and check". Think from the perspective of a 'noob' who just randomly found out about srl/simba via a search engine or a friends/forums.

Try to balance simplicity with a 'hook' and effectiveness in conveying the needed basic information for a 'noob'.

my 2 cents.

I like it, but I think the title and buttons should be smaller, much smaller. My girlfriend also think you should have Simba's face in the button instead of just the outline.

From: zilis

I like this one too.

I also really like the idea of having a catchy slogan, but I don't think a lot of text should be on the page. I think a nice combination of both can be made.

YoHoJo

2012-02-20 21:24:26

I like Zills, and maybe when you hover the buttons, they change.
Like Simba outline will turn into picture of his face etc etc.
I say Zills with some tweaks and whatnot.

Dan Cardin

2012-02-20 21:40:07

Like i said, not a lot of text is necessary, but from the point of view of someone without any experience, it would be more helpful to have some text to give real descriptions of what those links do, and what the website is actually for. I dont think a slogan alone would do it.

Am I alone in thinking that the repo link is somewhat unnecessary? or in thinking that the download link should actually open a download, and go to the main page of the one that the mockups are actually linked to or go directly to the download page of simba. I think that the interactions that people will have with this landing page is a lot more important than the landing page itself.

I agree with you.

The download button should start an actual download of the Simba installer (maybe we can make an installer that already has the necessary extensions enabled), the forum to the forums, obviously (maybe link to an Introduction thread?), and the SRL Repository button probably doesn't need to be there, but I think it would be nice if it was renamed like "SRL Source" to be more defined as I'm sure there are some people that would like to see the source.

Hobbit

2012-02-20 23:10:21

Original v1 mockup had link straight to download but Wizzup does not want this. He wants it to link to the simba page and just anchor to the download section.

Maybe replace the SRL Source button with IRC Webchat preconfigured to SRL?
Or at a 4th button with that?

YoHoJo

2012-02-20 23:12:26

:/ Ehh idk about IRC.
IRC is mostly trolls, bad stuff, etc I don't think I'd want brand new users to be seeing what goes on in the IRC channel.

DL Page, Forums, Install Guide, FAQ maybe? (Those as buttons)

Oo I think an IRC button is a great idea. Maybe a small link to the FAQ page at the bottom as well?

We in the IRC would love fresh meat. ;) Any other suggestions before I try making a mockup?

Dan Cardin

2012-02-21 11:31:15

I would agree with DL page, FAQ, Forums, and Source if you definately want it. I would put a link to the irc idea in the FAQ though not on the main page (then you would have people getting on IRC to ask questions without any reading of the actual help pages)

I would say DL page (and i don't see why it Wizzup would be against it opening up a download.) Until there is mutiple os support, where you would need different files for different os's (and even then the browser is able to tell the difference, so it could automatically open a dl OS specifically) then there really is only one DL that new people would want. I think being linked to the DL page itself would make a weird path thing.

EDIT: i lied. all the simba stuff is on one page, i thought it was more separate. No i guess it would be fine if it didnt start a download, though I don't see the problem with it, since they're clicking a button that they will expect to start a download for them.

For the FAQ if it happens, The "what is Simba" part of wizzup's site, i think would be a very good first question.

Hobbit

2012-02-21 16:00:38

FAQ is more of a footer item like Cohen said

Hobbit

2012-02-21 17:23:50

Either is fine

Dan Cardin

2012-02-21 17:54:59

i would think that a separate FAQ page would be a good substitute to having a fair amount of text on the front page. I would see it as a worthy replacement of the source button, if you decided not to have one, or even worth adding a fourth button for it.

[XoL]

2012-02-21 18:02:15

I think you should make the landing page as clean as possible then have a Faq page link with all the messy information.

Silent

2012-02-22 14:36:17

My first draft design.
I'll probably do another one later with logos by the buttons but I was going for simplicity.



The resize makes it look kind of crappy. The image is linked to the full size version.

Let me hear some feedback :)

EDIT: the buttons weren't centered, should be fixed now.

For the images, I think either to forward image is too big, or the behind images need to stick out more. At first glance they just look like some sort of strange back drop. Also maybe add some drop shadows? :)

Not exactly sure if you even want something like this, but…
There is a starter for a search one if you want it.

Here is a Forum one, just making them for the heck of it now lol.

One other one for Simba, they are all kind of the same theme.

I could make them all lighter by removing the pattern… Would just like some feedback.

I love the search button idea. I think it should be added to the landing page as a quick reference to the Simba manual, so that when you press it, something pops up that allows you to type in a search query.

For the SRL Source image, how about a gear and cog image. Like this but better looking :p

I think the top one fits with the style of the other tiles better :)

The vector image we talked about earlier on IRC apparently isn't covered under the standard shutterstock license. I gave some alternatives that were avail under my license and this is the one they voted on. All 1 color, no shadows or other crap, should be fairly easy to modify, change colors, etc. If you want :)

Kyle, Silent and all the other workers in this thread: This is what it is going to be! Getting there real close, but here is me nagging over details:

@Silent: Make sure you space out (align) the text over the picture. The word SIMBA for instance, is way to far up in relation to the other pictures. Also, keep everywhere little safety marging by resizing the picture just a little, this will give rest to the eye and looks professional. Love it!

@ Kyle: Great design! Very….now. Approved! Change a little thing in the text: 4 years into 7 years :smile:

Both: Little credit is in order, no?

Glad you like it WT! :D I honestly couldn't have done it without Silent making the images!

I changed the text :)

I suggested that for the older pages, but some people complained that it was too distracting. Must have been different monitors, because as a watermark, I could hardly see it.

WT, I think the font is getting changed away, so I can realign stuff when I change that :).

Kyle is boss for making the design!

Edit: I see the little white patch I missed. I'll get rid of that and upload an actual good version of this…

Awesome Silent! I thought the gears was for the header image. Or maybe I misunderstood Hobbit.

So, what exactly needs to be done? I think having a plan will help since I'm a little confused :p

I thought they didn't like the gears in the repo image… I could be wrong though.. Some clarification would be good here! :D

This is my fault. Hobbit was asking me for some files to get it finished and I never got them to him. My photoshop is still broken/files missing, so I have uploaded everything I have in terms of this project to http://silentscripts.net/srl. Feel free to use and modify anything from there that you need to to get this done.

My apologies for going dark on this.

My Last word was from Coh3n who said he and Wizzup? were working on implementing this…So I have no idea

Word from Coh3n is that Wizzup? wanted to wait until Simba and SRL was working. I've packaged up the files for them, so they have everything :)

I can't remember what yours looked like, but the one now fits with the forum theme, so that could be one reason.

so we went with zillos I think it was? (Just read all the pages)

kyles is pretty nice, more unique I think the metro is used a lot everywhere

can we use // on the front page instead of http or https please? so it just goes with whichever protocol someones using instead of changing them to the one the link says?

@Hobbit;

Issue 1: All the images are up to date.
Issue 2a: I don't have the graphic PSD's anymore, @Silent Spy; might have them, but I'm not sure.
Issue 2b: I gave you the zipped package months ago :p But I did change some hosting stuff on my server, so it broke the link. http://srl.kyleundefined.com/LandingPage/index.html works.

Like I said, I don't mind that the current one is up. It fits the Metro theme.

The images aren't :p Half of the tiles have the focus image (ie: cogs, simba) behind the gradient, the other half are in front. And the drop shadow for the text in all the images come from a different point of view :p I did mean for it to sound like you left it unfinished, it's the images that are still not refined yet :p
I sent the code to Coh3n before leaving in April so he could keep Wizzup on top of it…. lol. I dont have the zip file anymore.

Coh3n

2013-01-29 22:14:48

I'm pretty sure I emailed them to Wizzup? and reminded him a couple times. But you know Wizzup?. :p

Honestly, I like how it is now. It's clean, simple, and fits with the forum theme.

Kyle Undefined

Not my fault I can't do graphics xD I agree with Coh3n. Even though I'd love to see this one used, the current one fits the Metro theme.

I would honestly rather see a new forum theme (not too thrilled about bright blue squares) to match kyle's, not that I have any idea how much work that would be or expect anyone to do it. It would just look the best, and be the cooliest.
