GraphX Service is a volunteer graphic design service. We'll create anything from websites layouts and banners to company logos and icons all for free. You can also stick around to learn from our various tutorials or take advantage of our free desktop wallpaper.
Last month we launched GraphX Gallery, a subsite of GraphX Service that offers free wallpaper made by the GraphX Team. Since then, the Gallery has not seen much change (and therefore improvement). Improvement is much needed, however, since GXG is (currently) a very basic site. We do have plans to further develop GXG, though. Just to give you a preview, here is what's in the making.
Search & Sorting All good galleries have both a way to search through the items and a way to sort them in convenient ways. For this reason, we will be adding these features to GXG in the near future. They are not only helpful, but almost essential.
Comments Ever visit the Gallery and see a wallpaper you really like, but have no way of contacting the author to say "good job"? Well, you will have a way soon. Again, we understand that any decent gallery has a comments system, so we're on it.
Rating System To go along with the new comments system, we'll be developing a rating system. With this and the new sort method, you'll be able to see all the top rated wallpapers at a glance!
User-submitted Section Soon you'll be able to submit your own wallpaper to GXG to share with other members! These wallpapers can be creations of your own or just items in your collection.
So when can you expect all of this? August. We don't have a specific date to give you yet, but GXG 2.0 (if you will) will be released sometime in August. Check back here for updates as we'll be giving you a more in-depth preview later.
After some thought, we have decided to widen the entire site from 900 pixels to 1000 pixels. Why? Usability. It's much easier and convenient to navigate a site without having to scroll as much. This change shouldn't force anyone to scroll horizontally either. The smallest common screen resolution, SVGA (800x600 pixels), was already not supported with the old 900 pixel width, so widening the site to 1000 pixels won't do any further damage. Also, the next screen resolution up, XGA (1024x768 pixels), is still supported since 1000 is just under 1024.
GraphX Service would like to announce another addition to our group of staff: Johnny, who is our newest Global Moderator.
He'll be helping us out to keep everything on the forum moving smoothly and handling any possible problems that may arise. Hopefully we won't see such a thing happen, but he's here to ensure if it does, and none of the admins are present, that there will be someone here to help resolve said issue.
