Monday morning. Talked about it with my partner. To him it was not clear enough you wee using 3 textballoons. And when he knew it was too much Technorati http://technorati.com/account/login/
Sorry about that, i have just not had hardly any time to get on here the last two days due to altering our garden and dealing with builders etc.. I may have more time today so i will see what i can do. If you have any specific changes or anything you know you want, please just let me know, thank you
The most specific changes are related to making the 3 textballoons more looking like textballoons. Some people at first sight didn't see it. And this "sharing of opinons" (good, bad and neutral) is an essential part of the service ... for the rest - as you can see - you remain on the 1st place :) Thanks.
When the three textballoons start looking like the Olympic podium it's not good: too severe and cold analytical. We loved the warm chaos of the original design where we felt the "chaotic dialogue" of consumers about sth. Thanks
..i too kinda got the olympic feel after i had uploaded, but i thought i might as well show you though. Ill try to pull the bubbles apart so maybe they will seem a little clearer. Ill upload again soon :)
It's less about the typeface now, bur more about the "movement" of the 3 textballoons, the dialogue between them and the easyness bu which no-initiated users deduct the "textballoon" concept immediately
..ok, i just tried using more visible speech marks, making them 'rounded squares' instead of the circular ones. I personally feel that they are instantly visible now, hope you feel it too :)
Better visibility indeed, but crippled in the movement (less sexy) ... and another issue is that the icons in front of the word have to be "squared" and that's gonna be difficult with the 3 rounded squares. For the 3 circles intertwining that was not a problem. Now it is. Have a look here http://bit.ly/1aLHMGZ
I have a feeling that one of the tree (say the blue one) has to be bigger and 2 others - smalle- more functioning as 2 satellites like in the milkway:)
