| vish | thorwil: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1325768/path.png how is this one? | 17:58 |
|---|---|---|
| vish | some how the first one seems better of the lot, without the mouth.. | 18:00 |
| thorwil | vish: if there is white page background, white might be a better choice fore the skin | 18:40 |
| thorwil | vish: mouths are a big problem. try to get the expression across solely with the eyes | 18:40 |
| thorwil | the current gray on black becomes as good as invisible under some viewing conditions | 18:41 |
| vish | yea, mouth is more work.. and if it is brighter it is more obvious and kinda goofy | 18:42 |
| vish | seems better to just leave it out.. easier rather.. ;) | 18:42 |
| vish | thorwil: i wanted to use the orange, to keep it closer to the smilies and since i'm using it in the banner.. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1325768/Ninja-banner.png | 18:45 |
| thorwil | vish: nice typography | 18:47 |
| vish | thorwil: hmm thanks, i can never be sure if you are making fun or are serious.. :p | 18:48 |
| thorwil | vish: ninja could be closer to the type and you have to fine tune left vs right margin | 18:48 |
| thorwil | vish: i don't use sarcasm in such feedback. or i would at least mark it one way or the other | 18:49 |
| vish | :) | 18:49 |
| * vish checks margins again.. | 18:50 | |
| thorwil | vish: if you have a gradient/lighting effect like that on the background, it's alway worth applying the same on the foreground. that is, a very subtle gradient to imply the same lighting situation. while considering that the "print" may reflect differently | 18:51 |
| vish | ooh.. | 18:52 |
| vish | i tried that, but was lazy and tried with only one gradient.. | 18:52 |
| vish | will try with an extra gradient | 18:52 |
| thorwil | vish: the margin on the right needs to be slightly larger to seem as wide as the left one. due to having straight lines on one side, and a curve on the other. the same reason why an o sits slightly below the baseline in common fonts | 18:53 |
| thorwil | actually other way around, but i guess you get the idea ;) | 18:54 |
| vish | thorwil: yeah.. i noticed that and tried to compensate, but looks like it needs a bit more tweaking | 18:55 |
| thorwil | vish: looking at it some more, forget about seemingly equal margins. maje it obviously wider on the right, to babalnce the heavy weight of the smiley a bit | 18:56 |
| thorwil | vish: do you actually have a use for several different expressions? neutral, 2 levels of smiling, a "now what are you up to?" and perhaps surprise should be doable with just eyes | 18:59 |
| vish | thorwil: nah i dont have to use, i was just trying the expressions for the team logo.. | 19:00 |
| vish | thorwil: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1325768/Ninja-banner-tweak.png this is just 2px to the right, and it seems empty in the center.. | 19:01 |
| vish | well atleast to my eyes.. | 19:01 |
| thorwil | vish: try moving both ninja and type leftwards. perhaps also decrease the gap between them | 19:03 |
| vish | thorwil: seems better now : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1325768/Ninja-banner-twe.png | 19:09 |
| thorwil | vish: yes. good use of gradients, too | 19:10 |
| vish | yay, that does it for the logo.. thx thorwil.. | 19:12 |
| thorwil | my pleasure :) | 19:12 |
| vish | gah! now , i'll have to write a blog post and announce the team.. | 19:14 |
| vish | thorwil: hehe first i was trying to get it right this way: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1325768/Ninja-banner%20%28another%20copy%29.png ;) | 19:14 |
| thorwil | phew, good thing you changed direction :) | 19:15 |
| vish | yeah, i could not get the right font size.. not sure what's up with that.. after 72 there is only 144 pt | 19:16 |
| thorwil | vish: you do know that you can enter any number there? aside of just scaling the text on-canvas? | 19:18 |
| vish | thorwil: i tried that, but Ubuntu font either doesnt have the size or inkscape is not doing it right here | 19:19 |
| thorwil | vish: here i can have sizes like 80 or 96 without problem | 19:20 |
| vish | thorwil: oops, i was using it wrong!! i had to hit 'enter' , i usually 'tab' out of the fields | 19:23 |
| thorwil | 0.o | 19:23 |
| vish | thorwil: like for the x and y axis, i just enter the number and tab to the next.. | 19:24 |
| vish | bad inkscape.. ;p | 19:24 |
| vish | even for strokes and other stuff 'tab' is what i always use.. huh! PAPERCUT! ;p | 19:25 |
