Since DogMeat and Stryker first started dMw (a Quake mod clan- read the community history here (http://www.deadmen.co.uk/dmw_history.php)) we have developed into CS, later variants, CZ, Source spawn, Live For Speed, WoW, BF2 and various other games. We started as a PCS counter-strike community, became a TCS community and have evolved into the multi-game community we enjoy today.
With this in mind we need to overhaul our website and forums to reflect the multi-game nature of our membership - and this is where you can help!
We need
- pictures from the various games that we can splatter across our new website design showing the different games we play
- Ideas for things you would like to see included
Your help really *would* be appreciated - it's a huge job and I will need as much input from the community as possible. Once we have a design structure in place we can then flesh out the content and we'll probably be asking for your help there too!
Please send your screenshots or other images and ideas to tealeaf AT deadmen.co.uk so that we can get this project started.
Many thanks.
TL.
If you need an extra hand with the design give me a shout.
happy to debug/test etc.

Also with the LAN so close it might be a nice idea to spend an hour or more at the bar discussing this further?
I did a banner for NiNed a while ago, the site has been taken down, and this banner is not used.
(http://bodclan.org.uk/clan/modules/files/Hippy/NinedBannerRED.jpg)
If you like it i could change it to say "Deadmen" and "multi-gaming community"
I like it :D
also comes in grey.
looks nice but im not keen on the serif font. Doesnt feel right with theclean lines/borders you have around the images.
just my onion :)
Funny you should say that, this was the banner that NiNed used:
(http://bodclan.org.uk/clan/modules/files/Hippy/NinedBannergrey.jpg)
I dont like the bigger writing on the right, the fonts better, and the bigger logo doesnt "feel" right.
(http://bodclan.org.uk/clan/modules/files/Doris/banner%203.gif)
as hippy said could change the NiNed bit, as NiNed has changed and isnt a gaming community so you couold use this as a logo or something (if needed)
EDIT: i will edit it so that the grey is transparent then it will look the same no matter what web page skin you have
im just not a big fan of serif fonts :) put that downt o personal taste. I do like the smaller nine logo (on the coloured banner), looks good.
are there any ideas floating around for the dMw look?
just thought I would add my take on it.

Maybe you could use this link as it shows all our ED matches:

You didn't knew we've played that much matches allready right? We used to play 3 every week as a standard. 8)
but why would we need that link> surely we just need the basics for the web banner then as it draws them in they will found out for themselves...
anywho... any other ideas?

do we need a micro logo ??: (http://bodclan.org.uk/clan/modules/files/Doris/Dead-men-micro-banner.gif)
FWIW on the font, I'm in accord with Jamoe.
The several graphic designers we deal with all use sans serif fonts on our client literature nowsays as, from a design pov, the clean uncluttered lines are more visually appealing than the more traditional serif fonts.
Clean, crisp lines are all the rage

Just to inform people how many matches we've allready played in ED since the start. I was just suggesting the link as it shows all the matches.
And on that banner, what's the thing on the left?

Cheers m8, now I can see it, it's a bloody helicopter...
Thought it was a dude with a gasmask on....
oK ive just done 2 variations of the NiNed banner.
I cant upload them because BoD is changing their website. So they're sat on my HD as JPEGs, if anyone wants to see them drop me an IM on MSN.

Whadjathink?
'Course we wanna see 'em. I'll PM ya.
Well the best I have been able to come up with is to see what we can grab from the Battlefield 2 Fansite Kit available at http://www.eagames.com/official/battlefiel...s/downloads.jsp (http://www.eagames.com/official/battlefield/battlefield2/us/downloads.jsp)
I'm downloading it just now and will report back :)

Thanks, doesn't matter now, im using photo bucket.
How about a fetching blue?
(http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a146/Hippy_sm/dMwBannerBLUE.jpg)
I could start from scratch, do away with the line of pics.
The blue looks excellent. Out of interest what does it look like greyscaled?

Has some movies that we don't want but lots of images that some of the graphics gurus could play with. Worth a look I'd say.

I quite like that. Is it possible to lighten it just a little bit? It looks slightly dark right in the middle.
:D
I could. but the real question is : am i going to? :narnar:
Here's another:

Did you get Hippy to do the colouring in as it doesn't seem to have gone over the lines :devil: ;)
Seriously though, very nice Doris. I'm suitably impressed. :clap:
Oh and what font did you use and where did you get it?
