Supermodel website
Hey,
Just a few questions regarding the supermodel site Is that managed in a separate repo? I think it could do with some sprucing up to make it look more modern, unless you've left it looking a bit old-school on purpose?
Anyway, I'd like to help out!
Maybe we can discuss suggested modifications to the site here before adding it to the repo? You can download the pages directly (none of it is pre-processed or packaged).
I'm obviously not a web or visual designer :) Fun fact: the page color scheme and nav bar were loosely inspired by the design of the Victoria's Secret web page ca. 2011 (it's what came to mind for the word "Supermodel").
Did some shopping around at different websites.
Victoria's Secret:
Or maybe use a design based off of some other emulators, e.g. mame, teknoparrot.
MAME:
Teknoparrot:
I think maybe we could borrow a design from the other emulators out there and borrow some of the colours from Victoria's secret as a nod to this project's past.
This seems like a good target to begin with, I'll have a tinker and to get a mock supermodel page done, then maybe we can discuss this further?
Whatever you think is best. I do quite like the pink color scheme regardless of where the design inspiration comes from. The new Victoria Secret web site looks pretty corporate and bland. Personally, I would love to see it look different than every other emulator web site out there.
One thing that I think might be interesting to consider is that the style of Model 3-era games is a bit over-the-top. Look at Daytona 2 or Scud Race's on-screen HUD. There are like 9 different fonts, lots of color gradients, and yet somehow it works and is a nice contrast to the modern minimalist aesthetic.
Beggars can't be choosers, though, and you're the web designer so I'm curious to see what you come up with! :)
I actually like the original website .. just the issue is it's hopelessly out of date. I mean it still says half the games don't work lol
I can work on updating the usage instructions on the page as well as the compatibility list. I think I'll remove build instructions and simply direct users to the github.
That sounds good. Especially since all of the information is in the README.md or in the Docs/readme.txt.
