So..... new backgrounds coming

[PatRat]

Ok so the last time i looked at Southern Fresh, their background was a bunch of thumbnails of cars plastered everywhere. This was before i made STR.

I later made STR with the road texture by taking a photo of the ground in NFS hot pursuit (lol yep) back in November.

Now i look at SF again and they have redone their site with a road texture background.

I dont know who had it first, and i dont care either. No matter what, since we are new, we'd lose the battle of "so-and-so copied so-and-so".

It's not THAT big of a deal, but you never know who's panties will get in a bunch over the smallest things these days....To avoid any flame wars/rivalries/awekwardness we're changing the background.

Ive already removed it from the main site for now. Forums will get the same treatment once the new background is made.

Gonna post up some prospects soon and based on feedback ill adjust.

K so here's one i made last night using after effects and photoshop.
This might be the one lol.

Inspired yes. But also unique. It's glass shattering instead of some grey and orange lines.

i have this one , for sure should make some new ones soon

So im thinking of goin for a more cleaner and brighter look.

Brighter as in less dark sections in the background and having the background not be as distracting.

I sorta want to get away from all the black. It's easier on the eyes if your in a dark room but to me it doesnt look as good as grey and white sites do. :S idk lol


MAKING SOME CHANGES so if u load it and ur like WTF thats why it looks differnt. Not through yet.

[TeeJ]

[PatRat]

Added the new background. Did a simple gradient thing using the official STR blue color lol.

Also redid the header so the image fills the entire thing instead of just part of the banner.

Gonna prolly redo the staff graphics im not feelin' em.

[HFAS_Monkey]
