Websites?

[Mad-Martigan]

Does anyone have their own website here?...

Seeing the number of players that play daily, and the number of new peoples... maybe there needs to be more advertisement for dawnspire?

If some people have their own websites, and are willing to use some of it as advertisement for DS, i could make some banners or signatures to spread the word a little.

So if you have a website, and think this is a good idea - let me know. Im sure that the official DS devs will have some sort of advertisements that could be used as well.

Some adverts for use are shown below, simply place them on your webpage and attach a hyperlink to the following adress: http://dawnspire.tinyrocket.se/index.php            ...

Want to make your own? ... Use the fan signature and advertisement kit http://dawnspire.tinyrocket.se/forum/index.php/topic,707.0.html

Neat idea!

I think the situation the community is in right now, is that atleast a portion of the oldschoolers are actually waiting for the beta of another game called Bloodline Champions. It shares some elements with Dawnspire that are expected to meet the hopes and dreams of Dawnspirerers too.

I think your idea is a good one, but don't be surprised, if you wont get tons of requests on the first couple of days.

I'll keep that in mind. A test/Sample advert, any feedback would be appriciated.

Maybe a rating out of 10, and improvements?

Thanks

That reminds me of the very first homepage I made for Blue Hero...

Is that a good thing?  . I know its a little tacky, but i wanted to find improvement areas to make better ones... before spending loads of time making loads that are useless, if you know what i mean 

[Nightmare]

Well... it shouldn't look like it's made with Paint, even if it is .

Test 2, I made some improvements in terms of technique - compared to the last one.

Is this one better?, worse?

Improvements etc, or a rating out of 10 would be appriciated again

I think you're going in the right direction, that's pretty good. If you want grades, 6 or 7 probably (whereas the first was <4). The layout and colours could still use some work.

I tried to get the actual Dawnspire text, but getting the black background off was a problem. Does anyone know what font was used to write it, or if it was done by hand?

The layout will change for each one, and I'll work on the colours

Third, and probably final 'Test'. Feedback would be appriciated

I think there excellent from an advertisment point of view. Well done. 

[Mad-Martigan]

I attached some new ones to the first post, they'll stay there for people to use unless someone has improvements or critisim for one (or all)... which i will then amend and re-upload.

P.s: I am also making my own "resource" library for making these. I can share what i have (when im finished putting it all together), if others are interested? - Let me know.

You should really put a link to the registration page or the download section so they know were to go get the game.

Of course. I dont think i can attach a hyperlink to the attached images  ... so people will have to do that. I'll make a  note of it in the post though. Well spotted

ALSO: If anyone wants me to make a signature for them, let me know.

So following on from Martigans lead I put together an ad for websites and anything else you can think of. I am not totally happy with it as I only had rough images to work with but see what you think. I would post the images them self but I am still not sure how I do that. Never works when I try it.

Below are 2 versions one image without details

And the finished article.

You can let me know what you think and I am happy for any one to use the finished one to bring in new blood.
