AnythingChicago Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 what templates and applications are each of you using?Each of us? RCGraphics's concepts are not a part of this thread. He just hijacked it. Anyways, I'm using lightning25's template and Microsoft Paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnythingChicago Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 I'm gonna need more C&C before I start on Belmont.EDIT: Just finished Belmont; I will not post it until I get 2-3 more comments on Duke. I think Belmont is probably my best work so far, so you better comment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnythingChicago Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 You know what, I'm bored and don't feel like waiting for you clowns to comment, so I'm just posting Belmont now.Texas is next, for anyone who cares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnythingChicago Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 These are like 20 minute concepts, so I'm gonna go ahead and post Texas. Please reply.Pitt next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancebridwell Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 First - RCGraphics might have unintentionally hijacked your thread, but you are, as far as I can tell, using the same template with different floors.Second - Calling people clowns because you're an impatient ass is NOT the way to get critique.Third - Pointing out that they only take 20 minutes to make also does not draw critique except for the obvious "Take more time, etc."I don't know why you insist on having such a narcissistic approach on this whole concept/critique business, but you're heading the completely wrong way if you want critique. I don't think, because thinking implies uncertainty. Therefore, I KNOW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to get a lot of teams in.And I know I've been impatient. I'm sorry. I'll try to be less pushy; narcissm is no way to approach boredom and dislike.

lancebridwell Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 ^ Agreed. And even I can't decipher the sarcasm, so my solution would be to drop a couple emoticons in there. Ya know, to liven things up and as authors would say, set the tone. I don't think, because thinking implies uncertainty. Therefore, I KNOW.

vmd9 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 RDGraphics,I appreciate your willingness to fulfill Jahgee's request, but please bring your work into a seperate thread. It looks very good for a beginner, and I'm sure the members of this community would be glad to see it. But, please, just not here.Thanks.I think you might want to look at his court beside yours before you put him down as a beginner.EDIT: Just realized I hijacked your thread. Sorry.That wasn't a put down, it was an honest statement. I didn't want to go all out to praise his work in my own thread.an honest statement? I would say a "beginner" would be someone with pixelated logos, sloppy lines, no textures, and very generic court designs...basically what you have doneThat wasn't a put down, it was an honest statement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancebridwell Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Well seeing as RD said it was one of his first concepts, I'd say it might classify him as a beginner on a technical level. I don't think, because thinking implies uncertainty. Therefore, I KNOW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDGP Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 My biggest issue is that none of these appear to have any inspiration to them. All of these concepts are basically the same, just with different logos and colors. Personally, I think you should slow down and take a look at some iconic basketball courts (Boston Garden, Cameron indoor, Staples Center, etc.) in order to see how courts courts can vary, and take their own identity. Think outside the box-- from what I've seen, concepts that are a bit strange (yet clearly thought out) tend to get better reaction than cookie cutter concepts that have been finished in 20 minutes. I've got a dribbble, check it out if you like my stuff; alternatively, if you hate my stuff, send it to your enemies to punish their insolence!

altosax29b Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 What's the point of using a template without both 3 point lines, or at least the updated men's 3 point line? You're not even using a modern college basketball court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not know how to make different shades and textures of hardwood, so that is a disadvantage. I'm trying my hardest to please you all...What's the point of using a template without both 3 point lines, or at least the updated men's 3 point line? You're not even using a modern college basketball court.I'm just using lightning25's template. I'm sorry if it's not good enough for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not even using a modern college basketball court.One of the reason a lot of paint users have older templates is that like pc gamers, they're not seen as a huge target audience and paint templates aren't available. I use paint a lot too so I know what it is like to be limited by knowledge and technology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yac12 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 For the Duke court, the ACC Conference logos don't look right. I guess it is because I am use to the Coach K court being on the court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDGP Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Looking at the Duke one, I'd say change the baseline word mark to the one that matches the D logo in the center, just for consistency's sake, otherwise it is pretty good.
