Topic awaiting preservation: An idea... (Page 1 of 1)

Just testing to see what this looks like. This is just an idea, not a finished sig.

Other background



Oh, and thanks to Michael for providing me with somewhere to host this

OK, I seem to have got the transparency correct. It seems to loop to quickly though, i'll try to get that sorted.

If anyone else has anything to add, feel free to comment. I'll work on shading and a lot of other things later tonight. I'm going to have my dinner now but i'll be back soon with an update...

[tiny update]

What do you think? Better or worse than the first one?

I like the second one alot. It's simple but unique. The animation is smooth and effective. The fade in on each individual letter is smooth as is the fade out. Many people would have been tempted to add a bevel or some other effect on the letters. I am glad you resisted the temptation.

Well, i wasn't going to add a bevel but i was thinking about doing something with the letters.

Dont you think they look a bit boring at the moment? Maybe i'll add a bit of shading to them so i've got a light source, maybe that will liven it up a bit.

To be honest, i'm a bit stuck with what to do next. The file size is already about 30k so i can't really do that much more with it...

Nolp - nope, I wouldn't do a thing to it.

Boring? well, perhaps in some ways.

But...a sig *shuold* be boring in at least some ways.

You've already got fades and movement.

If you add much of anything else, it'll just make it gaudy.

I think it's a bit too animated, it should have a point of rest. Like if you made it pause for a few seconds after all the letter grouped, and then made it fade, I think I would enjoy reading your posts more .

Prying open my third eye.

OK, i think this is almost finished now.

I messed about with the timing of the fades a little bit.

This is what i came up with. Any better?



[edit]

A tiny crop was needed. I've got the file size down to 32k Is that small enough?

Simple. Good. Filesize good too. Mahj out.

OK, well thats about it then.

You can close this down now.

Thanks to everyone who offered help.
