While I'm waiting for the game to arrive - and it's going to be a long wait as it arrives on the 6th - I thought to work a bit on the look of the forum and change some elements that I find to be distracting or that need improvements.
You can see two images here: http://picasaweb.goo...AOSocialWebsite
And the suggestions are as follow:
For the first page:
- I changed the top part with the forum description:
* I changed the background color and text color to tone down the contrast, while keeping the overall color scheme. It also makes it easier to read.
* I added a separation line between the forum's description and the topics that follow to clearly define each section and to make it stand out.
- I dimmed down the icons in front of the topics to reduce the overall contrast and to keep the focus on the topic's title instead of the icons themselves.
* To maintain the contrast balance I've also replaced the icons' theme with a monochromatic one and the color of choice was Bioware's blue.
For the second page:
- To keep the continuity while reading a topic, I kept the top's size, background and text color.
* I deleted the title's icon as I feel it is useless because it doesn't really express anything is just crowding the area
* I toned down the ratings' stars and made them the same color as the title - they are still visible and their purpose is still clear without distracting too much.
- I find the way that the posts are separated now is a bit confusing so I added a clearly visible separation line between posts.
Thank you for reading and maybe considering some changes.
