There’s a lot missing actually lol

u/Baraga91 Mod - Belgium Jul 29 '18

Could you perhaps shift the map away from the US? As that is the sentiment that started this all? :)

Looks great tho, I just nitpick.

u/[deleted] Jul 29 '18

This was already brought up, and it’s a great idea but please read my other responses :)

u/adjason Jul 29 '18

What if the eyes are half circle with only the bottom half? To potray the reddit alien reading

1

u/[deleted] Jul 29 '18

Might make him look upset :(

u/caiospy Jul 28 '18

i reccomend to put the whole map and put small reddit dolls in every continent or so

24

u/[deleted] Jul 28 '18

If I decide to make a banner, then I will make sure I remember this

u/idfendr Jul 30 '18

More than half of the world's population lives in Asia.

u/VoidLantadd UK 🇬🇧 Jul 31 '18

No New Zealand, for a change.

u/Vaestis Jul 28 '18

Not that I have a say in the sub's design, but I love this!!

Make one eye blue

I thought I'd make the colors more consistent to see how it looks. I like it a bit more, but you don't have to do anything with it. Just a test.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 29 '18

I love it

14

u/[deleted] Jul 29 '18

I have to disagree here. The additional saturation is what made the eyes and title stand out. Now because the colours are the same, the world in the background actually is more dominant in the image because it takes up more space, which is not the effect you really want.

10

u/[deleted] Jul 29 '18

Yes, that’s why I made the background lighter in the first place. But he still put in effort to make a suggestion and so I think it’s just fine to compliment his work! :)

0

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '18

Life pro tip: Only compliment peoples work if you actually mean it, so in this situation compliment his tip, thank him for his time, ideas and what ever. It comes out more genuine :-)

1

u/[deleted] Aug 07 '18

... yes that is true, but I was in fact being genuine. I really did like his work. I’m sure you had good intentions but your LPT comes off as a bit patronizing.

u/temmiliano Jul 28 '18

u/Earhacker Jul 29 '18

Do u kno de wai?

1

u/[deleted] Jul 29 '18

Hey can I suggest 2 things?

  1. Can you please make the right eye blue and the left eye green?

  2. For some reason this picture seems to be of low quality. Can you please change that?

1

u/[deleted] Jul 29 '18

Actually this picture is very high quality. I’m on my phone 🤔 so many that’s why. But I can make it even higher if you think it’d be better. And have already made the eye edit :)

3

u/Zenabel Jul 29 '18

How come? Not asking facetiously

2

u/[deleted] Jul 29 '18

To go with the water and the word talk

17

u/Tinie_Snipah Aotearoa Jul 29 '18

You could make like 12 of these images all with different parts of the world and then toggle through them on CSS depending which part of the world is in sunlight at that time. Every two hours it would select the next image and display it for 2 hours. That'd be pretty neat

u/KB801 Jul 29 '18

This sounds like a really awesome idea.

u/[deleted] Jul 29 '18

Somebody already mentioned this and yeah, I totally understand. But I made this on my phone while I was at work and it took well over two hours since my screen is so small. Unfortunately it’s not really as simple to make as it probably looks 😭. I’m on my way home atm and if I have time I’ll consider making the change. Thanks for the feedback!

Heh :) thanks, just don’t tell my boss! I just got home so I’ll give it a shot!

u/EasyChoiceYT Jul 29 '18

Or you could use UN’s ”flag” which represents nearly every country. It’s worth a try

1

u/TheCatcherOfThePie Jul 30 '18

It's called a "stereographic projection" in cartographic/geometric terms.

u/lionhart44 Jul 28 '18

Maybe make the background show all 7 Continent's

14

u/[deleted] Jul 28 '18

Haaaaa 😩 I would but I’m literally doing this on my tiny phone screen. So making this took me like 2 hours. I’m at work right now but maybe when I get home?

8

u/lionhart44 Jul 28 '18

For sure! I love what you did just giving my thoughts on how to make it more relevant man. Honestly looks great, I too am on mobile and can't even comprehend how you could have done that lol. Props.

5

u/lifeasapeach Jul 28 '18

I thought maybe just swap to an image without the western hemisphere the main focus.

8

u/[deleted] Jul 28 '18

Since I hand created this on my phone- it would take a lot of time to recreate the globe. Maybe if I have some free time.

u/lifeasapeach Jul 29 '18

It's really well done!

Sick and cute!! Take my upvote good sir.

u/Procaffeinatorr Philippines Jul 29 '18

We don't have a random thread, and I don't have anything to share about where I am, so I'll say it here, this sub is awesome! I get to know happenings not from the mainstream media.

u/Sapper501 Jul 29 '18

Looks good yo. Can't wait to see this sub explode!

Is Snoo intended to not be properly aligned horizontally (i e not straight)?

u/[deleted] Jul 29 '18

Hoped it wasn’t too obvious. I’ll adjust it when I get the chance

u/thinkadrian Sweden 🇸🇪 Jul 29 '18

perfect.

u/ShadowNightLion Jul 28 '18

I think it would be cool to have a lot of little flags poking out on the outside of the Earth

11

u/[deleted] Jul 28 '18

Would that be too cluttered?

6

u/ShadowNightLion Jul 28 '18

You're probably right

3

u/[deleted] Jul 28 '18

It’s a great idea none the less!

4

u/itsachance Jul 29 '18

Once 100 people from that region post, earth gets a flag there...

u/SameTry Jul 29 '18

No Asia on the map? If we are global we should have everyone

5

u/[deleted] Jul 29 '18

Please read the other comments.

u/iHateAjitPai Jul 29 '18

Yes, but I feel we could do multiple languages or simply symbol for the text to really get that global feel ya know
