I know this isn't T-Shirt related, but I've been visiting Emptees/Mintees for awhile now and I'd like to share it with you guys. I started up a blog-styled website with a couple of my friends recently and we'll be doing our "full launch" this coming week.

I know there's alot to work on, but I've been doing my best to just work with what I have to get the ball rolling. Check us out at : http://www.Spawnshield.com

Thanks alot guys, I'm looking forward to the day I can post "Launching My Clothing Line" :)

Edit; Changed the title to the thread because the first seemed too generic lol

    Constructive Criticism & Tips are welcomed (especially tips!). Like I said, there's alot that needs to be improved on...hopefully I'll be able to develop more in the near future

    Right now it feels like a virus protection site upon first impression (probably the way you have the shield logo done with all of the malware guides right up top). Work a bit more on trying to incorporate what you review and do in your image - the blog itself is constructed fairly well.

    Thanks for the response. Yeah one of the first things I want to get done is a REAL logo, just don't have the funds right now. I've been contemplating about just knocking the shield out and leaving the simple text until I get a real logo. Thank you for the feedback

    wow that's quite the library of articles for a launch! It really looks like you guys put the work in content wise. The site itself isn't bad, but it doesn't seem unified enough. Maybe you could help it out by making the pictures in the main column bigger by shrinking down that right hand column.... idk something to think about.

    Anyways good start and best of luck! I'll check it out every now and then for sure.

    Thank you! I was actually afraid we don't have enough "timeless" content for launch. The picture's in the main column we're actually larger at one point but I shrunk them down because they seemed to make the page too long for scrolling. I will definitely take a look and think about that right now

    I took your advice and changed the image size back to its larger version. You can take a look if you'd like and let me know what you think :)

    I like it but unfortunately I only have one option for image size and the images are pretty big.

    It's better but I still think it could be bigger. You could make the images skinnier if you're worried about not enough content fitting on the page. There's also a lot of odd whitespace in the right side column now.

    Also sent you an email about other ideas.

    Hope this helps.

    I haven't received the email. What email did you send it to?

    Btw! Is anyone familiar with integrating BuddyPress with a Custom Theme?

    Looks really legit. I dont get to keep up with game news a lot anymore but I'm gonna try to head over there every once in awhile. I think the logo looks pretty generic right now though.

    Yeah that's exactly what it is. I really just googled "how to create a shield in photoshop" and followed a tutorial lol. Hopefully I'll have the money to get a real Logo soon, I won't have the money until I get the blog kicking enough though
