Hey fellers,

I just was playing around at work and I came up with this...not sure if it could be used as a webpage or what, but thought it looked pretty cool. wanted to share it with yas and get some feedback!

Thanks,

I like it, it's a much simpler style, which I like.

Except that red block in the corner draws my eye AWAY from the logo.

i like it too... if it could be used of a webpage? :confused:

first of all get that red block out! Just as Matt, i keep looking there.

I think it would be pretty cool as a webpage. And maybe you could use that sphere in the upperleft corner as your navigation,the smaller spheres are the buttons etc.
maybe i got carried away, but that's what seems cool to me.

The colors are nice and soft... nice work!

hey jim, how did you get those 3d wire spheres? a 3d prog, or a grid an then distort > spherize?

looks pretty cool, though I agree with matt, get the red out.. and possibly get the green out too.. try to keep a somewhat monochromatic scheme..

Snore

Hey thanks guys....I'll get the red out.....I did the spheres by creating a circle selection, then fill with a really light gray. I contracted the pixels by 2 and then deleted the inside. After that I reselected the whole ring, then used "transform selection" and brought just the sides "in". Afterthe selection became an oval I filled it again in a new layer.Contracted by 2,delete inside so now I have 1 perfect circle,1 oval inside of it, I do that again till I have 2 ovals inside the I just put a straight line down the center.At that point, I merge those layers and copy and paste it onto itself and rotate the copy 90%Thats the 3d looking sphere....What I did on mine was I pasted a copy of the whole sphere on top and then "Free transformed" it until it was smaller and laid it on top....... It's kinda hard to explain but I hope I helped........

Hey i got rid of the red.....I left it grey because I like a little contrast up there....I think it works well compositionally againstr the white on the other side....whaddya think???

Thanks,

Jim

much better! It looks pretty cool, Jim!
Now try and make a cool navigation and you've really got something going there!

Just rotate the spheres (symmetrically). Don't resize the spheres, make them again please! Or use paths!

Cool otherwise, though!

Hi xr650lvr

You have inspired me to try making a 3d sphere myself. I did a pretty good job I think for my first attempt. I was wondering one thing, why are the straight lines coming out a different color then the rest? I appreciate any help you can give. Thanks, Andy

You can see the sphere I made here

xr650lvr - cool, I think it defenitely would work as a site. and I agrree with what everyone else said except vortex cuz i didn't get what he was trying to say

Andy - Maybe you should post that in the photohop help section or somthin, but it looks fine to me. The straight lines don look a different color to me....maybe thinner but not color diff. Thats a cool way of making spheres if you wanna try another one, use distort > spheresize to a grid, that comes out nice as well with a different style, u can even then go the same way but apply the distort filter with -100 effect and place that behind the first sphere and that looks cool too.
