Seems sensible, doesn't it?

Can we see it with that?

hell why not..

I don't think anything more needs to be changed: winnar!

Anyone else disagree?

looks cleaner without the smoke..

Not sure about the black/blue color gradient either.. white text looks far better on blue. (the deck's off ctr too.. will fix that)

Looking at those spitz logo's too, I agree with theo... less is more.

I've noticed some problems with the 64/deck too, perspective wise (didn't see it before), and the edges need softening out (especially the arm weight), and i need to polish off the bottom of the turntable, atm it looks borked. Thining about the blue to black thing, now I know why it doesnt fit, because it looks like loads of amiga demo's, but without the mirror effect at the bottom... totally wrong for the feel of this... being, well, C64 !

not amiga. Never realised that till now.

*edit:
just thinking, does the blue in the C= look too bright or is it just me ? better as the background colour ?

Nope, I think it looks great with the bright blue, really draws the eye in to the C= logo...

Hi, basically...

Two weeks' holiday (down in Kent for 10 days, then up to Nuneaton to see my niece Emily, who is four weeks old today - no PC access in Kent, and only limited Net access at my brother's)

One week without PC (power supply blew up)

Last weekend - Retro Fusion Weekend of Gaming (which had been scaled down from an event to a social 'meet', but was still good fun)

Anyway, I'm back now.

Err, i didnt draw anything...

Font by microsoft
Colour by the sun
C64 deck and layout by theo
Words by chris
Spits logo by spits
Swirls by grappa

The layout isn't mine either. The only work of mine there is a bit of a cleanup and colouring beige of the 64 deck.

*shrugs*

Back when I posted samples before being begged to have them used, now that was mine...

Chris Abbott · Post by **Chris Abbott** » 04/10/2006 - 16:20

I feel much the same about some of the tracks on BIT 1: all I did was channel it together (when I went into the Wizball BIT 1 file, for instance, I was a bit shocked to realise how little there was to it). But it was still in some strange way "mine"... in this, there were a lot of little details and choices you made that allow the poster to "exist". Without you it wouldn't exist. Hence, it's yours. See?
