I've reviewed the set again and I feel that the following subsets are overcropped:
button-text-outlined-* (because the black border actually steals from the margin)
mod_perl-final-* - this subset is my main complain because:
1) it's overcropped as i mentioned before
2) the gear placement looks very misbalanced white space-wise. Adding a bit of a white margin around and may be lowering the gear a bit down, to align it to center vertically will make it perfect.
yeah, i played with that a bit before. the lowercase letters make it a bit tricky to get a good 'balance'. i'll try to come up with a better alignment.
just ballance the gear around the vertical space. will this work?
How much to add? I don't know, just a bit, you know what I mean. e.g. button-110x30 looks pretty ballanced (though again the gear could go just a bit lower) and has enough margin. Regarding color and the transparency, it's the same as the used background, nothing special.
aha. i thought you were referring to the part of the image outside of the border. my bad, this makes more sense now. i'll try to insert some more whitespace and tweak the alignment a bit. the lowercase 'p' really throws everything off, but i suppose that's non-negotiable ;-)
;)
BTW, for the text-* buttons, is there a better font for 'POWERED BY'? it doesn't look very slick. May be using 'Powered by' will be neater? or a different family font?
i do have a few other 'pixel' fonts that i can try. as for the case, i went with all caps because the lowercase letters get really hard to read when they get that small.
that's probably the only way to go. But may be there is some better (slicker?) font, which reads better when the size is very small?
i'll take a whack at a few variations when i get home tonight and i'll
put them up for a quick review before i go through the process of exporting all of them again.
cool!
sorry for that many complaints :)
let's call it constructive criticism ;-)
;)
