Fresh coat of Red paint!

Postby djarvik » Sun, 06 Feb 2011 19:33

You have probably noticed a change in colors of our Forum and Top Spin 4 tour pages. If not, take a good hard look at the top of this page, you see all the blood red? ....all of it was grass green once. Hard to believe ah?

The last few weeks we have been doing some heavy painting and these are the results of numerous coats, trying to cover previous colors (Slicer said we didn't need primer :?) We have poured over 200 gallons of virtual red paint into this one. I for once, love the result!

The color scheme was chosen to compliment the new Top Spin 4 palette of choice. As the most anticipated tennis game on the market and the sequel to our very own name, it is only fitting ITST should adopt the new look.

Special thanks to:
djarvik :P for picking up the paint and doing the graphic work with a very fine brush, to Devilish for providing core design ideas, to Slicer for doing all the actual heavy painting, to Cro (you always have to thank the management) and to all hosts giving us feedback on this one.

Hope you like guys!

Let the new Era begin!
:c

It is possible that some green images do pop up for you guys. When it does just refresh that page.Your browser picks the images out of the temporary internet files folder instead of downloading the images again. You actually have to refresh the page for your browser to download it again.

But since I'm Dutch I do need something to complain about:

The top part is a bit empty really.

Me either, but oh well.

I just dont like the color, it's not as pleasing to me as green, simple as that.

The red tennis courts kind of makes me think of Virtual Boy which makes me think about stiff necks.

Not as soothing. I think a blueish colour would be better.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Just want to remind "why" the red was chosen. Mainly because this is the color of upcoming Top Spin 4.

Granted, it is more aggressive the soothing to the point of drowsiness green :P

I guess colors are a matter of personal preference for the most part. Just wanted you to know that we didn't just decided to go with red because of "red>green".

I hope you like artwork at least?
