EPTJust wanted to ask about a blank In-Game UI Template for Protoss.
Is there any template you use?
Printing the screen and cutting out the UI is very tricky for me.
I couldn`t get any good results at 1920x1080 yet

I have found doing these some people like a nice simple gradient, with some borders and text, others like a lavish background, and some like a image as a background. I try to appease all :D.. However I still am learning so its all good Thanks for the input! Naturally you gotta appease to the "costumer" in the sense that you gotta abide by their wishes, but most of the times they dont know what they want anyway, so you've got pretty big leeway (especially now since you're doing this for free). I'd take this more to work on your own skills rather than appease to the people in here wanting things for free (not to say you can't do both). As for details, I cant give you specifics since theres nothing specific to talk about, but in general most of the overlays are too simple, they dont propose anything interesting, either there is gradients that are too sharp or the colors are simply too boring. Theres also a bunch of noise on alot of things that shouldnt be noisy, you should stay away from too noisy backgrounds and or too noisy other things since it makes it hard for the eye to focus (making it look ugly and annoying), good example is the beastyq overlay, the text is completely noisy and you can hardly tell what the text says, more clean with details. Also look up better color combinations, some of these are very screeching to the eye. I'd try to stay away from too high contrast colors, the super green overlay one comes to mind, just burns the retinae. Try out Kuler to get cool (I mean cool as in cold) and soft color combinations, http://kuler.adobe.com Also, browse around on http://logopond.com/ or http://www.logospire.com/ to get inspiration and see how creative you can get with color and details without going overboard (and making too much noise). | ||

After some thought, I really don't stream enough to warrant your time and effort. I really admire your effort even through the harsh time. Keep up the good work <3 | ||

I haven't started on an in-game overlay yet, because it'll take a while to make something from scratch if I'm going to. Not sure if I'll take the existing overlay from SC2 and add on to it, or create one from nothing. :shrug: EDIT: If you guys want to know how to create custom metallic-ish things like I have around the webcam & screen boxes I can create a little tutorial if you'd like. It's pretty simple, just takes practice. Wow,this looks amazing! Really professionally made! Good job | ||

Again, I have no problem giving people the In game ones. EZPZ. if you want an out of game one i can do that too. I'll gladly post a 1920X1080 black image up. Everything I make for the out of game overlays is from scratch. The borders I make, the backgrounds I make. The logos and emblems sometimes have to be edited so that they can work right and not have a big black/white box around them. Just PM me or w/e if you want the IN GAME overlay PSD... Otherwise go into *insert photo editing software here* and create a desktop document and have fun. I honestly don't know what you all want for the out of game PSD. I don't mean to be a dick or a hole here, but EVERY out of game overlay I create starts with a blank *Insert Screen Resolution Here* document and I work from that. I do not have a Master Template PSD for OUT OF GAME overlays. I just have images i use on a constant basis such as Emblems, Social Media Icons, and stuff like that. If you want them you can do what i did. www.google.com just make sure they are non copywrite images otherwise you could get into trouble. Again sorry if i'm sounding like a dick but i can only get asked the same question so many times. If this disuades some people from having an overlay made by me so be it. AnonymityLol, Nemisys, and a few others in this thread have noted how easy they are so maybe you can ask them. You won't hurt my feelings. I am doing this as a fun project to make laddering not so painful. Now... To the haters... 16K+ views... 4 haters... get a life. Unless you have something constructive to say, you won't get any other input from me. And I ask everyone else that is following the thread to keep my attitude on the haters. Just ignore them. I treat Trolls/Haters like my children. If they are wining and throwing a fit because they dotn' get their way, you ignore them, they will eventually realize that their tantrum (or rant/trollishness) gets no attention from you and they will stop. Now if you ahve something constructive (such as AnonymityLOL did, whom i speak with on occasion about ways to better myself) then feel free to post whatever you want as long as it is constructive. /Rant GGWP Now to all the people that thank me... which so far is like 95% of you all, I am glad you stuck around and am enjoying this free service I am offering. I hope you enjoy evertying so far and if you are unhappy with something please let me know :D | ||
