Ausmash news: BACK FROM THE GRAVE

[Sieg]

Most people read pages in a Z like fashion.

So they will start from the Top left, move to the right, then head to the bottom left, then bottom right.

They're perfectly placed.

It's not exactly true. Often you'll see what's on the right first because you scan over it to get to the left side.

 

[Sieg]

Considering we read left to right, you'll look to the left more than your right. It's a natural reflex.

On that note, if we're going for SUPER PERFECT DESIGN EVERYTHING. Why not make the site yellow? (/sarcasm)

The point is, if something sticks out on the right as you move over the right to get to the left to start you 'left to right'. You're going to look at it first.

That being said, I like the site the way it is, except for the couchwarriors banners colours in comparison to the site and it's alignment to 'AuSmash'.

but yeah w/e

Edit: Is there a thread for that perth tournament?

http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=227548 is the listing, otherwise we usually discus stuff in the perth thread.

As for the couch warriors banner

Delete the background, maybe outline the name in black/blue and it's fine.

Also hopefully I'll get around to it and do a writeup for the connection tour.

 

[Alzi]

Wtf is that thing in the middle of the logo.

 

[Zero]

A joystick, they're from before your time.

 

[EverAlert]

Alzi, it's a simple arcade joystick.

Considering we read left to right, you'll look to the left more than your right. It's a natural reflex.

Only within a given field, i.e. what you're currently focussing on, and before your focus settles it obviously needs to be drawn by something. What you're saying would apply here if the layout had a proper balance, but it doesn't; there's a big, darkish, coloured mass drawing your attention from an otherwise pale and greyscale layout.

 

[Alzi]

Lol i knew what it was.

It just ruins the Logo completely. Hmm as Attila said before i could battle out S.D with my own site but i honestly do not have the time to make a site of my own.

 

[xXArrowXx]

i think it was more of a payout...
since your **** site would contrast with sd's good site.. and make sd's site look godly.
/design201

jokes though, some of the things you say are good alzi.

 

[Mic_128]

Alzi, it's a simple arcade joystick.

Atari, not arcade.

/nitpick gamer

It just ruins the Logo completely.

I don't see how. If anything, it's what makes it a logo, otherwise it's just genericish text by itself.

 

[EverAlert]

Sorry, arcade-style. >.>

As in, not the kind you see on a modern gamepad.

 

[Vyse]

I was set to write the Tempest article tonight but I fell asleep and woke up 5 hours later >.>
I guess I'll hit it tommorrow night.

 

[S.D]

No worries brah, looking forward to it. In other news I have a very special guest author writing up what I think will be a very interesting read.

 

[Marteh]

Ummm as said without the Joystick it's text, not much a logo. And Alzi not everything needs to have 234 different googled images pasted on a background with size 1 font.

Atari, not arcade.

Atari 2600

Sheesh Mic I expected better.

 

[Alzi]

The Wii logo is just text as well though.

May i remind people.

 

[Mic_128]

Atari 2600

Sheesh Mic I expected better.

Hey, he didn't specify which arcade game he thought it was, so I didn't bother specifying which Atari it was from.

 

[EverAlert]

I wish I was old enough to remember a time when you could only see an arcade stick in an actual arcade...

Wait, no I don't.

 

[SummonerAU]

lol EA, stop kidding around. We all know you've old enough.

 

[luke_atyeo]

thousands and thousands of years old?
yeah your old enough

 

[Vyse]

SD, I'm about to send you the article. Still need images to throw your way though, but at least it's written.

 

[Dino63]

wow its been a while since i was on smash board =_=
i like this ausmash idea, if you want any help for the only tassie smash left i'll help out....got nothing else to do

 

[Mic_128]

Man, I'd go to Tas for smash :D

 

[Alzi]

As i said we all move their and invade it and call it smash islands.

 

[Dino63]

Yeah i would be happy to host people for smash, it should be the Australian smash capital, like Canberra, not the most populated place, just a small made up place where all the leaders meet up

 

[Toby.]

I've sent the boost writeup as well <3

 

[S.D]

I've sent the boost writeup as well <3

Thanks Toby! Did you get my text about that story idea? I think it could be good.

 

[S.D]

Double post: Guys if ever the opportunity comes up to link back to ausmash on other websites or forums please do as this will raise our profile with regards to search engines.

 

[Toby.]

I haven't had my phone for about a week, since I left it in a friend's car. When I get my phone back I'll have a look

Btw I'm writing another article at the moment - current trends (and bad habits ) in australian brawl. Hopefully we'll have more metagame related articles before long.

Edit: Not sure whether the paragraph after every sentence thing was a result of the way google docs formatted my article for email, or if its something you did in order to mimic newspaper format. If you changed it for AuSmash then thats totally fine. Just checking to see whether emailing the article altered the layout at all

 

[earla]

toby, how are you going champ?

 

[Lachlan]

why was there no mention of team dragonforce in tempest article

that's all everyone was talking about the entire time

TEAM DRAGONFORCE!!!!!! Zac really calmed down when bob and arrow took it to pokefloats

 

[Toby.]

toby, how are you going champ?

I'm feeling pretty decent, despite quite a large number of injuries from various things

And you?

 

[Darkwing SykeDuk]

I was yelling at lachlan the entire time.. In a constructive way >_>

 

[Lachlan]

almost lost? who wrote that article.

we forgot to put on dragonforce, that's why we did 2-0 with several stock in hand like every other set we played.

also, pokefloats what is this crap.

 

[CaLibUr_1337]

lol don't be hating on PokeFloats, it's a legit counterpick

 

[earla]

splendid thank you.

injuries? what happened? get well.

Almost lost what? I didn't say anything of the sort. I just jokingly pointed out that you guys got rolled on Pokefloats.

 

[Pete278]

I think I should have an article where I rant about Smash/fighting games/vidya regularly. We all know that nobody in the scene, nay, nobody in the entire world can challenge my monologue skills, and thus ausmash would be a good place to show it off, and you all know it.

 

[Technodeath]

I think we should let him. Would be interesting.
