Theme Ideas: Mocking up some crazy ideas

dmmarti

So now that Emulation Station has expanded capabilities for themes, thats opened up a lot more possibilities. I've spent a great deal of time in Attract Mode in the past, but now theme making for Emulation Station has a whole new level of fun.

I've spent some time playing with some new concepts for themes that I've been tinkering around with in Attract Mode - that I think might have a chance to become Emulation Station themes.

Here's my mockups for a few......I know they aren't everyone's taste...but it shows some ideas of whats possible now.

Not sure I'll do them ... but I think its awesome now that we can do these types of themes.

Are these just layout mockups, or are these being rendered in ES?

Either way, well done! Great to see the enthusiasm around this - and big kudos to @Zigurana and @jdrassa on all the work to make the carousel and themes in ES shine!

@dmmarti Just so you're aware, videos can't be played on the ES carousel

Yea, I know....but maybe one day!!

I figured I might use static snaps from the AM system snaps like I did with Steampunk....or possibly use the console image like Maximus Pie does.

These were my ES mockups that I was playing with in Photoshop to see how they'd work out in ES front-end. Right now, they're just in their design stages...hahaha.

@dmmarti Yeah. So many people have asked for it so far that I'm sure it will show up.

All in good time :)

Here's an alternate mockup from above .. using the console artwork instead of a snap placeholder.

Was thinking this would be better for the ES main menu.
