I'm currently looking to redesign the homepage and turn it in to something more than a simple login screen. I'd love to incorporate some community pictures into the design. If you have any photos you think are front-page worthy, please post them here. The plan is to rotate through the photos as well as link them directly to your collection page as examples of what the site can do.
Thanks!
Matt
EDIT: Make sure photos are 1000px or greater in width.
EDIT 2: They also need to be landscape...
EDIT 3: The photos need to look pretty too :) (Scott will color correct them)
EDIT 4: They need to fit in this:
<img src = "http://i.imgur.com/vczsL.jpg" />

alex said I just got FFVI in the mail. Ive got all superfamicom ff games for the picture :D
Edit: Have a huge picture, some red might need cropping out but it's the only way i could make it so the flash wasn't blinding.

Edit, if the picture is too wide you can crop out the Blu rays
edit2: also @matt. will we be able to have pictures of our collections updated once in a while? my collection grows in size pretty quickly. (I wont want a new picture for every single game I get :p )

I agree... would you admins consider having the VGC logo connect to the front page rather than our collections? There's already a "my collection" link up there...

My PS skills aren't what they used to be for sure (nor are my photo skills). I can't seem to get rid of that glare on the right side of the photo. Maybe @scott can :)
Post by: andrew on September 11, 2011, 12:30:18 am
If this doesn't work, then I would be willing to redo the whole photo.

Looking at the front page, I see how this would complicate things a little. It doesn't have any links to pages on it (my collection .etc). The login "square" would need to become something else if there wasn't a redirection and then the other pages would need a home tab/link.
Might be a little more complex than I thought it would be initially :/

As for the actual function of the home page, your best bet if you want to see it is to simply not always stay logged in. Updating the logo link doesn't make functional sense and 99% of the time users just want to jump back to their main collection page. I'll see if I can come up with some other options tho.

@brettybluevein I should be able to, no problem. You want this in place of the arcade image? Or we could save it until we need to freshen up the front page.
Just took it so you had an extra image, use it when you rotate the next set of photos or whatever. I like seeing my arcade collection up there!

Not at all! But then again, I'm a girl :)
Great pics! I really want that sheep... I saw it when it came out as a pre-order and have been meaning to find it ever since. They're probably my favorite animal in the game. The tiny chick (the chicken, too) that you can hold on your head is a close second. We'll need to get you the alpaca to round it out!

I think I like the 2nd pic better and there's no problem with the beige background. I'll fix it up later tonight and save it with the rest. As for putting it on the front page, we're gonna keep the images down to 5 or 6 at a time. So we might wait to add it when we rotate fresh pictures into place... I'm not sure if @matt has decided when we should swap new images in and out.

Would it be possible to put all of them in the database and randomize the image order? That way you wouldn't have to manually change the order/pictures all the time. I don't know the structure of the site so I don't know if it's even possible. Just an idea.
I like it, then we could put in multiple pictures for users, like brettybluevein's Arcade and Mario collections or my Game Boy and Castlevania stuff etc, etc. The more the merrier equals more randomness.
Post by: amauriel on September 14, 2011, 06:10:13 pm
But then he was very sweet. The second one was my favorite too. I liked getting the two cows into two different positions. I checked: One was for A Wonderful Life, the other was for Tree of Tranquility and says 10th anniversary on the tag, if anyone is trying to eBay the collection.
And yeah, a randomizer would be awesome. Eventually we'll have a house with a game room and I can more easily get all these pictures. I have at least as much stuff for Zelda as well, my husband has a scary big Resident Evil collection (tons of action figures along with all the games and controllers) and I recently got a Japanese R.O.B. and would like to get some good pictures with the two of them.

I'm too afraid to display my games :/
Shelves only equal sun damage if you have them near a window and they are always being shined on. If they aren't near a window or the blinds are never open, then you have nothing to worry about. I say, all the money I've spent on these things, if it's not set out on display then I'm doing them an injustice.

Yeah I plan to put up wood blinds and thick curtains in my "game room" once I get around to designing it.
Such a simple solution to the sun problem. Everyone should heed these wise words. I have wooden blinds and I'm not worried about sun at all with them.
Looked into UV glass but you'd better be ready to pay. It's not exactly the most cost-friendly solution.

I love the new look with the collection photos on the front page with the link to the collections, it's appears as though it would be really inviting to those who aren't quite sure what the site has to offer.That's the exact plan. The old page had no info on it at all and I think people who stumbled upon the site really had no clue what it was.

Also don't forget, if you want we can put a pic of some of your stuff into the rotation on the front page. The image just has to accommodate for the shape of the front page image. So if you want to, take a look at some of the others as examples. Then just provide me with a few pics I can play with.

Yes, but my Castlevania stuff wouldn't take up a whole room, like your Mega Man stuff, haha.

We want big. The bigger it is the more room I have to play with.
That's what I figured, so you can either shrink it down or crop out a section of it as needed.

I know it's not landscape, but you can just crop whatever shelf you want to use for the banner. I couldn't decide :p

Yokoi
Gunpei Yokoi, by far one of my favorite people of Nintendo history. I should have a pic of him above my Game Boy collection. ;)

(and apparently the Succubus' top comes off)
Definitely the most important part !
But on a serious note, I kind of like the way you have yours displayed as compared to my DQ stuff. I may get rid of the case and use some wall shelves for my own.
Post by: desocietas on July 09, 2012, 11:50:27 pm
Updated Castlevania Collection pic. I took the new figs out of their boxes and set them up on the shelving unit. I also took the loose NES carts and the loose copy of Super Castlevania IV down. Also, the figures are pretty nice and stand well on their own, only the succubus came with a stand and they all have varying degrees of articulation, with Simon being the most posable. I set up all the little pack in items on the bottom shelf too (and apparently the Succubus' top comes off)
(https://dl.dropbox.com/u/21697512/IMG_20120708_205254.jpg)
I'm surprised I've never seen GB carts displayed like that with the individual cases. Pretty ingenious. Looks great! Hopefully as this eternal task of cleaning my room plods along, I'll be able to take a photo of everything...

Heh, yup, still working away at it... *sigh* Probably the worst it's ever been since I moved in here about 4 years ago...

Wow all of your collections put mine to shame. I thought I had an impressive one (still adding to the site) since I have about 2,000 games at least, but hardly any of my games have the boxes. Where do you guys typically find boxed games?
Most of the boxed games I have I found when I started seriously collecting about 6-7 years ago. I could routinely find them in used game stores and the prices online were pretty reasonable. Now I'm lucky if I can find 3 boxed NES games a year out in the wild and the prices online are too steep to justify going after them any more. I think the last time I added a boxed NES game to my collection was about six months ago.

had a header with our game room/ collections on it.

There will be a new bio portion on the new site that may scratch this itch. Not sure it we'll incorporate images there but I'm now just starting to play around with more personalization options like this.
