Re: [ubuntu-art] Re: [Propose] Caramel Glass GDM
PS: Sorry, I had to have a second look ;)I think the 3rd one is clearly better than the second, because I can't really have shadow around this glass plate.It gives the impression that the scene is not properly lighted or the glass is not polished. In the 3rd (and 6th), the light is refracted in the glass background's edges. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
Re: [ubuntu-art] Re: [Propose] Caramel Glass GDM
Wow.I like the second and the last (6th) one the best, although I'm having a hard time trying to decide if the second or the third one is better.The dark one is too dark for me.The shadow on the fifth looks a bit strange. I am expecting an object to cast the shadow, so this confuses the brain a bit. What makes me chose the second over the first is the 3d effect of this glass-plate background as well as the colors of the logo and font. In the first they somehow seem not to fit their surroundings, being too reddish. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

Here's my thoughts: - I think a dark background is nicer than a lighter one, though the 4th one may be a bit too dark. - The position for the logos in first page seems good (and simple) enough but it's a bit hard to tell without knowing exactly the space consumed by the controls (text input, buttons...) - The logo letters look better than since i last saw them - very nice touch (i love the "b" and "t" letters). - The circle of friends - somehow, though i like the lighter version, the dark one in the first image seems clearer. Also, the one in the last image looks sharp too. contrast issue?

I know it seems quite 'polished' for a proposal, but I really didn't trust my ability to render any glassy effects on paper - you will see when I submit some sketches I did on the bus that pen and paper and I don't work well together :P -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
