Subject: How my theme is turning out...

All great trilogies end in fives.

Thanks for all the help guys. I'll work on the lighting in a little bit.

From what I've seen you are doing really good. =)

Thanks for all the support! I've added light, and I'm gonna upload sometime soon.

Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

One thing I didn't mention earlier is that the bottom header is far too blue compared to the upper header. I really like the grey/white header for its color, but the blue steel look of the "spacer" draws too much attention from this.

Wait, is he just editing a picture or is there a Themebuilder I missed?

Good work by the way.

Still just editing pictures. I ended up getting Stosh to answer the question of the missing theme builder; he said he might work on one.....slacker.

I think this is secretly a group advertisement. >_>

Good theme. I like everything, the header is sweet. The bottom spacer could use some work though, and the 7th Column fist looks out of place.

Overall? Awesome. :D

I remember when I used this space to put cool looking links to my chapters back in the day. I don't even know why I'm using it now. Why are you even reading this? You must be interested in me. Still reading?

It looks great but I would consider making a theme for everyone to use. I'm not sure but I believe that is an image of you on the bottom of the second one. You can add something like a signature but not something like that. Its not a big deal but not everyone wants a Chapter with a picture of you on it (no offense). Other than that, great job.

Edit: Sorry, nevermind, it is just the Recon Armor. lol

It looks good, I suggest increasing the contrast on the top spacer some. The bottom spacer needs better positioning, but I'm sure you already know that.

Is there some sort of theme contest going on? Or can you submit themes at any time?

  • 01.07.2008 11:02 AM PDT

I believe you can submit them at any time.

Are they still even looking at submitted themes? I took a look at official theme threads and they were all posted in 2006 or 2005.

CTFMaster if you ever get ahold of Photoshop, message me cuz I'd be glad to give you tips on it.

It's not me. It's just a picture I found on community files. Aka my brother. It's rouge armor.

I would agree with prometheus25 in that the lighting needs some tweaking. The header image is looking too saturated. I would certainly say the second 'final' side image is the better but it seems slightly out of place compared with the main header.

I'd definitely be interested in seeing what you can come up with for the forum header image as that's the one i had problems with. In conclusion, try to slightly adjust the lighting effects and maybe try to push the whole theme that little bit more.

Do you think you could show an example of the header?

Oh yeah, I added a Bottom Spacer + a new theme preview.

I saw two amazing themes from Banshee Barron (i think?) and Pezza go ignored for months / years, i doubt you will ever see anything come from this work, op.

-Quaere verum.

Got a report? Use the report tool or send a pm.
Chairleg Productions presents: 'Console Wars' and 'Games as Art?' (also on Halo Waypoint).

Here's the forum header for my soffish theme. I'm still not completely satisfied with it but it's all I could come up with in time. Remember, part of the right side is going to have the semi-transparent nav menu (I added the fish behind it anyway).

The new side image looks good and pretty similar to #4 so i think either would work.

Thanks Prophet. I'll look into working on it.

I like the completed spacer#2 theme. It has variety, and is pretty subtle. Yet, it also conveys a sense of awesomeness very few themes can match.

I made a theme about an hour ago similar to the old Tru7h and Reconciliation site (with some changes obviously).

Header
Spacer
Overall Theme (want a darker blue though)



Here are more headers made two years ago (Not that good):
OLD Halo (Yes, I realize this is kind of....crappy)
MC and marines (My favorite one)
MC from Halo 3 ad (cropped from image)
Johnson from Graphic Novel (cropped form image)
Fight the Flood! (would like a better background, but I this one overall)
Arbiter (Want a better background)

Thanks alot. Do you mean awesomeness as in "totally rad", or just very special?

As in something so amazing I'd consider making a group just to use that theme. The lighting, low saturation, and slight graniness make it feel very film noir.

Thanks for the explanation. I'm fixing up the bottom spacer and working on the header.
