Oooooooooklahoma! Where the wind comes sweepin'...


« on: March 07, 2009, 11:38:47 AM »

I'm just looking for a bit of feedback on the menus I created for Jaws, before I commit it all to disc.

I can tell that it needs a lot of work, but not being a graphics designer, I know it will take me forever to get it just right. Any thoughts aside from "That's freaking UGLY!" will be appreciated. Well, more appreciated.  Wink

Thanks!

About the only comment I can really make (other than how jealous I am that I dont reauthor) is keep making sure that your main background is always widescreen landscape to avoid the stretch affect.

I'd remove the picture of Mike & The Guys from all the menus except the Main and Audio. It just looks weird to me when you cover up an image, and there are little bits of it sticking out from behind other graphics.

Replace with a picture of water on the ocean perhaps?

Thanks muchly...

Thanks very much. Don't feel too jealous: This is actually my first menu out of 32 Rifftrax DVD's and I'm honestly not sure yet whether it's been worth the extreme effort or not. I'll try one more on the next Riff and hang it up if it takes me this long again.

About the Widescreen thing, I pretty much made this to play on a standard 4x3 tube since I haven't made the jump into the the modern age to get a Widescreen. Still waiting for the prices to drop...

Good point. It does look a bit crowded. Thank you Rude Sir!

Good idea I'll try that instead. Thanks!

Thanks very much everyone for the input. I finished it and I can FINALLY watch the riff.

I changed the background on the all Chapter pages to a stock beach scene and it does look much cleaner.
