New site in the hizzy. -DJ Sith - Feb 17 01:28am |

I'm sure most of you are checking your address bars to make sure you're at the right site. Yes this is still the Academy site.  Waaay back in June when the PHP based site was created we were under a real time crunch to officially open so I kind of threw a site together with a few screenshots. I was never really satisfied with it, and wanted the site to have a more "modern" and "academy" feel to it. This is what I came up with. I hope ya'll like it. I think I've covered all tracks of the old site, but if you see anything wrong with the new design (images out of place, broken url's, etc) please let me know.
I need to give credit where due credit is due. The Logo in the top left was made by Nightcrawler, who is working on a slightly different version that will go on all of our store merchandise. Yes you too can finally own JA boxer shorts. The image hiding in the menu is the Knight Insignia made by Ulic Belouve (recolored by yours truly though).
Neato site tricks: Each time the page loads one of 7 random screenshots will load in the title image. Fancy, eh? If you have a particurlarly cool screenshot that has an "academy" feel to it send it my way. If I can work it into the design I'll add it to the store of random loaded title images. I hope you enjoy the change. Keep practicing and have fun! |

Near the bottom of the menu image.. look behind the letters. You can see it clearer at http://academy.jediknightii.net/images/left.jpg
Oh yeah I've also used that logo in various places around the metal with a 2% opacity to add a little variance to the grey.

Ok, so NOW I see the hidden image (It finally FULLY refreshed the menu).
If you could send me the finished (recolored) insignia, that would be super. _______________ Jedi do not fight for peace. That's only a slogan, and is as misleading as slogans always are. Jedi fight for civilization, because only civilization creates peace. |

If i may say, Dj ur the F***IN MAN! _______________ Come on now, every Generation X boy wanted to be Luke Skywalker. Is it because he was a whiney farm boy from some backwater hack planet? No, it's because he was a FREAKING JEDI. He could block lasers with his lightsaber. He could levitate droids & rocks & crap with his mind. Come on, he choked two pig dudes with just a simple gesture. He cut off Darth Vader's hand and kicked him down a flight of stairs. He got his @$$ zapped by lightning from the geezer Emperor, stood up and said "s'at all you got b!tc#??" |
