In regards to the home page. I like the colors; orange, black, white and gray. Keep it simple. I'm not sure about the cluster of covers in the middle. That looks a bit busy. The greater work needs to be done on the data base. It needs to be scrubbed of low quality covers or maybe a rating system should be added to the covers. There should also be three sections in my opinion: Retail, Custom, and Placeholder. So we can get cover off the forums and make them searchable though the data base. Oh, and make Arseen a cover admin for the purpose of accessing cover that have been submitted to the site. --- End quote --- The covers in the middle is supposed to be a new take on the "Most Recent Covers" from the current homepage. The idea being that usually when people visit the site they are here to look for cover art or see what we have that is new. As for the database, i'll handle that. I'm going to expand the data we collect on each cover and I'll setup some search and filtering capabilities that allow users to quickly find covers by: Name Artist Console Case Type Cover type (Retail, Custom, etc) Tell me more about this Placeholder type and what we would use it for? --- End quote --- In regards to the Placeholder option, the forums houses hundreds of completed cover for games not available on the sites data base. Most of these covers are good but not up to site standards for one reason or another (Links provided). Because they are housed on the forums, it can be difficult to find them; especially for visitors. Even if the covers aren't perfect, most people prefer to have something as opposed to a loose cartridge. It would be nice to make these available. http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=10382.0 http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=12282.msg103069;topicseen#new http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=368.2655 (Shameless plug of my thread) http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=11578.0 --- End quote --- I can Agree with that it took me a half hour or so to learn how to search efficiently for covers in the forum! that being said, I do tend to learn faster then most people, this is actually my first forum XD |

(http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?cover_id=13207) Where as this cover for Super Bonk has been on the forums for over a year (http://www.mediafire.com/view/?s5ztvcdnaqjbehz). Meets sites standards 100%. So things are a bit skewed. --- End quote --- I so 100% agree with you on this. But there is natural explanation on this... not gonna say it... but I think atleast 2 members should check cover before adding it... for this obvious reason. |

With the way all of our (admins) schedules line up it would be redundant and no offense but a waste of time to have two admins checking every file. |
