Nice!
Artwork is just great and all the important icons from the NG network are there. I really like how the Tankman is in front as he is part of the whole NG style. The colour is good and works really well. Good job
Reviews for "Comic-Con 2008 Poster"
Meh?
Great artwork, awesome flash. I mean, I know the point of this was to awe people, just to garner some appreciation for the poster (so, mission accomplished). Fortunately, I think you had a good idea that couldn't have been much more fleshed out. I was a bit orgasmic when I clicked on a character and was simply redirected to another page; after all, everbody and his mom and NG veterans are really going to appreciate this, but a NG vet should already know all of those series. So, I have to ask, who isn't this is for?
That aside, I think this flash is perfect and TSR is a dumbass:
- This flash is just to show off a poster.
- NG users are not stupid and know where to look for good flash via collections, series, toons, portal, best of all time, games, etc.
- There is no need for a interactive tour of newgrounds. Newgrounds is not a country.
- JohnnyUtah is God and you didn't respect him at all in your post. The art in the flash should be, and has been in other flash, the main highlight.
- Last, WHY THE HELL DID YOU NEED TO WRITE 1000+ CHARACTERS OVER A DAMN PICTURE??? It was amazing. It doesn't need an explanation. Tom provided a pretty damn good one.
As it stands, this is comprehensive enough to benefit new visitors, and it is engaging enough to keep the attention of old ones. Then again, if you really just wanted to show off the artwork...I just wasted a helluva lotta time, huh? (No fucking way! Really?)
Anyway, viva la Newgrounds! (From what?)
Awsome Job Guys!
Love the cool poster!
Meh
Great artwork, bad flash. I mean, I know the point of this wasn't to awe people, just to garner some appreciation for the poster (so, mission accomplished). Unfortunately, I think you had a good idea that could have been much more fleshed out. I was a bit disappointed when I clicked on a character and was simply redirected to another page; after all, only a NG veteran is really going to appreciate this, but a NG vet should already know all of those series. So, I have to ask, who is this is for?
That aside, I think this could be a helpful tool for new visitors if revised a little bit. Instead of opening a new window, how about this: a window opens up in flash which gives a quick overview of the series, including:
- The flash author.
- The year the series began.
- Genre (if any) or the general rating (Mature, Teen, Etc.).
- A brief explanation/overview of the series.
- Multiple (think 2-3) links to highlights from the series (think Newgrounds Rumble, where clicking on a character gives you links to both movies and games that relate to the series)
As it stands, this isn't comprehensive enough to benefit new visitors, and it isn't engaging enough to keep the attention of old ones. Then again, if you really just wanted to show off the artwork...I just wasted a helluva lotta time, huh?
Anyway, viva la Newgrounds!
