A very bland menu

[mozzy]

Any tips for jazzing it up? Its utterly boring right now, but I can't think of anything.

well...
some colour would probably do the trick. maybe some roman themes

Agree on the Roman themes.  Check some references for Roman architecture and copy the style for the UI elements.

Update!


Any more suggestions?

I think that looks great.  Good work!  If you wanted to push it further you could tweak the font too, but I like what you've got.

I love it, simple, uncluttered, doesn't take up very much attention from the important things. Only thing I might suggest is adding a bit of hue into those grays, maybe.

It might be to small to really go for this, but you might consider using a serif font. Serif lettering was invented and used by the Romans when they carved characters into stone. It would be a nice historical touch, however it might not look good at that size.

Here's a quick edit with some hue shifting in the greys, making them more bluish.

Thanks everyone

@McClaneGames: Thanks, that looks a ton better!

As for the font, I'm satisfied with it. It will only be used for titles like in the menu. The regular font will be Credit Valley I believe.

I agree lazily, quotingly

[MadHatter]

i like it.
But I still think it needs more color.

When I think of roman I think of gray red and gold... Maybe add a bit of gold.

[mozzy]

Better?

I think you could go either way, really, but I really like your soft colors.

The pillars are so CLEAN and cold, it works but you might find you'd like a warmer dirtier look?

supermissing the gray checkers, bring them back!
