PVNet Web Services Look and Feel

An idea I've been messing with to use as the look and feel for the PureVanity.net website, and services offered through HTTP. Ideas? I'd like to choose something everybody likes, rather than redo the site every few months.

I figure we can just get ideas, and then pass them along to a graphic artist to complete.

I'd like to see it scaled down and put into use in an example... to put it into perspective.

Just an idea, we can change anything.

--Dave

/me likes!

we can modify the size of the corner pieces, or the size of the fades and whatnot.

--Dave

Yeah, that's nice.

.... this one?

This what you were thinking?

I've moved this thread into General Discussion in hopes to encourage some input from the rest of the forum.

My ideas were to lay things out like a software application.

I agree with the shading and whatnot on the first set of pics, as it was large to illistrate the point.

I've shrunken them down yet again, along with the blue shades entering the white. It's a much more prounounced line now.



I'll post some ideas for the menu system, and other features I was thinking about later.

Thanks for the input.

[6:12.49p] <@Rob> It's odd
[6:13.02p] <@Rob> the bottom right half pops way out of the page, and the upper left doesn't

As per Rob's suggestions, I've tried to 3d-up the top/left side of the box.

I left this one with the large corners, but its simple so shrink them down again, depending on people's preferences.

menu system

Here's what I was thinking as far as the menu bar goes..

Some ideas from don:






[3:20.24p] <@Don> that is a BRIGHT ass white


Better one, better two?

--Dave

Much better!

...another example i guess...



The Main 'PureVanity.net' logo, and the 'PVNoc' logo and icon are just quick examples I drew up to illistrate the idea. We need a logo, and whatnot eventually.

Ideas? We're starting development on the new box on Monday, and we should have a somewhat firm decision on the template. If anybody has any other ideas, please post them, even if they are totally different. Examples are most welcome.

Thats what I'm working with at the moment.

I urge you, however, to stay away from Times New Roman for any of the displays. It reminds me too much of surfing the web back in like 1995.
