My titlescreen (original, I know)

[munin]

So, after having spent much time being very shy and overcritical of my work, I thought I should start small in the sharing-my-work department. It's about time I get the guts to post any of my work here, anyway.

With that said, be as harsh as you want. I'd like help finishing and fixing any problems you have with the titlescreen.

Spoiler: Original

That's actually relly good, I like it. Good work

Pretty nice, the background is a bit empty though. Maybe you could add a few tree silhouettes down the bottom.

Spoiler: Something like this?

Wonderful work with the logo, however may I suggest you remove the opacity on the text? You want the viewer to focus more on the title than everything else, since right now focus seems confused between the text, feathers, and the moon.

Thanks everyone for all the feedback!

Unfortunately I deleted the psd file off of my desktop when I went desktop-cleaning today without realizing it. ~_~ (major sulk)

I'll attempt to remake it later today with the suggestions.

 

[Tassadar]

That's a bummer. The titlescreen looks pretty good though, but as said by Sabao you'd be better off removing the opacity of the text. What program did you use to make it?

 

[munin]

Okay. I decided remaking it was useless, haha.

So I went the ultra cheap route and worked around the jpg I posted here.

Here's the new version. Is it better? (and can you tell I drew in the dark outlines in the R, e and l? lol)

@Tassadar: You're talking about the titlescreen right? I used Adobe Photoshop 7. No way I'm going to buy CS / CS2 / CS3. They cost an arm and leg. ._.

 

[Tassadar]

It's definately looking better, but wouldn't it look better with the opacity on the text (Relune) completely removed? It will draw more attention to the text that way.

 

[munin]

I would have to remake the entire titlescreen. I'm definitely not up for that at the moment, really tired. Haha.

Thanks for the suggestion though.

 

[Tassadar]

Always have one file with layers, and the actual file png. That's what I do at least, so I can still edit things if needed. Still, nice titlescreen :D

 

[munin]

Well I had made a psd with all my layers. But I saved it on my desktop and for some reason I was compelled to clean up the clutter on the desktop.

Thus going delete-happy and later realizing "OMG I DELETED MY PSD! ._.". The story of my life, yeah? Haha.

Thanks, Tassadar. I will eventually remake it to add that fix but for today at least I'm spent.

 

[Venetia]

That ... Is pretty nice looking! A little plain, but well done :'D

 

[elfina]

I use Adobe CS but I'm having a hard time working with logos and such. Any suggestions?

 

[munin]

@Venetia: Thank you! I wanted it to look more plain and "oldschool", sort of make you think about the older simpler games like Final Fantasy VI and such. They didn't have amazing super duper titlescreens, haha.

@elfina: It helps to find a font you really like. After that, just think about a kind of logo you like or think is cute, etc. I bet no one would believe me if I said I got inspiration from the Pokemon logo, haha. XD (brings back childhood memories)

Also, a lot of the times, I follow the KISS theory. Keep It Simple, Stupid. If you're using a lot of effects and images, blending etc, open up a new file in your graphics program and start simple.
