 World-building by visual artists
#8
Looking at all these wonderful illustrations and worlds, I find myself wondering if we should look at significantly modifying the look of our Galactography pages when we finally do the site redesign. This might be a two-fold effort, both developing a common 'look' for the pages, as well as creating a 'template' for new worlds that somewhat lays out what subjects should be considered (with the option of using them or not, we want to let people be creative and flexible) when designing a new system in OA.

As far as the 'look' of a worlds page, what I find myself visualizing is an image of the world from space with a number of floating 'windows' and icons around it that provide different bits of information, either in their own right or when clicked or moused over. Maps, data tables, text, images from the surface (or interior for habs and megastructures), etc.

For an example of the sort of thing I'm thinking of, I would refer you to this image here:

Just some thoughts,

Todd
