My Bio


I am a Graphic / Web / UI / Icon Designer from Austria who has gathered experience in various companies, non-governmental organizations, on his own as a freelancer and in a work-group.

When it comes to design aim for minimal and well balanced layouts, even when creating flashy/glossy works. There always has to be a certain cleanness in everything i do, which is important to me from aspects of usability and readability.

Padding and margins are the key to uncluttered design and i try to use free space when possible. In my eyes less is more most of the time and what defines good design are the small details, still vivid effects used in a proper way, can finally pimp up a well crafted project even more.

Hey ~mike-db, thanks for your critique!

I will improve Halion on the points mentioned and keep things in mind for the final release.

The little stuff bugging you, and i guess others, comes from my my lack of time (and a tad of laziness) haha :wormnomnom:
For a "Beta" release i think the rating is fair though and your points well balanced and good information.
Great to hear that although there are still a few things undone the "impact" is still very big.
Lets see if we can pimp up Halion to a whopping 5 stars in the final release: That is the plan! :iconbedsexplz:

Cheers and Llamas,

:star::star::star::star-empty::star-empty: Technique
:star::star::star::star::star-empty: Impact

Technically:
+ Some great Detail and Gradients
+ Crisp and Sharp in most parts
+ Nice Colors

- PS Bevel and Emboss effects look lame (would remove)
- The blurry text also looks out of place and crappy
- Ending of "L" looks strange and unbalanced (right side)

As a Logo:
+ Possible to use centered and with text below
- In small scale nice details will be gone (does it still look good without them ?)
- Very hard to place on a website or any other place where it should be left aligned
?- Can it be used in black and white (or 2 colors), try it out by removing everything else but the S & L and scale it down to something like 96x96 px
?- MAYBE S&L could be place in a filled circle to make it easier to use in some situations

All in all i think its a nice design, but as a logo which will be hard to incorporate in most designs/mediums. You could take the same idea but work on a "shape" only B&W version FIRST and when the B&W version looks great and balanced, add details and effects like you did here. I think that would be the way to go <img src="e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/w…" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" />
