SC Agency Box Info.. Which one do you like better?

[SGA]

I had originally planned to keep the stat cards, and just upload their image into the agency info box.  Yes, it would be a bit more work whenever I needed to update stats, or update names if you changed them, but I like the little cards, and wanted to keep them.

However, after uploading them, they look a bit big and bulky.  I tried simply resizing them down some, but then they are too small and I go cross eyed trying to read them.

So I tried just typing the stat card info out into the agency info box, to see how that looked.  It does look neat and clean, not to mention much less bulky.  However, it isn't quite as pretty/fancy as the stat cards.

Another thing to consider, is when we do eventing.  As a sort of RP addition, the stat cards were going to be required to be "shown" (ie posted) along with each entry into a competition type event.  So if we go with just the text version, then we will lose this little RP aspect to eventing.  And no, I won't continue to make stat cards if they will not be posted to the agency info.  Part of the "pro's" for using text is less work lol

Right, so.. I have set up Alacazam with the stat card in his agency info, and Airborne Magic with the text version of the card in her agency info.  Please take a moment to view both, and then vote for which way you prefer.

Even though they are bulky, I do prefer the stat card image. Maybe slightly smaller would be good re-sizing wise but I do like it more than just the text.

The stat card is so pretty! But it is kinda big. Maybe if it was shrunk just a bit?

How about using the Start Card image but cropping it a bit more? There is a lot of excess room on the image that makes it much larger than needed. I hope you don't mind but I borrowed Alacazam's stat card and cropped it to show what I mean:

It's the same size you used but with the really large transparent background removed.

Yea, sadly I can't read it when I make it smaller.  I tried shrinking it down by just 20 pixels, and my eyes started to cross.  Maybe if/when I can get new glasses I can do it and read it, but I can't afford to right now.

And I ran into trouble/confusion with entering foals/grown foals into the system.  So I'm done for now lol  It was starting to give me a headache.  Maybe if I'm not too tired after work I can figure it out :S

ETA: YLO I'll see how it looks in the agency box later.  I hadn't thought of that honestly.  And anything is worth a shot

If you did just text then that info would be searchable in the Secundi search, whereas the image would not be.  If there's any reason that, say, someone might want to search for a Storm Chaser of a certain level, then a text stat card would really help them out.

But maybe there's not really much reason someone would want to search based on the stat card info, in which case I think the image is really pretty.

[Kadana Sorano]

Ohhh I hadn't thought about that Silv, thank you

And I can think of a reason, foals get stats based, in part at least, off of their parents stats.  So in breeding, one might wish to search for compatible mates by stats and levels.

It's something I'll need to think about.

Personally I like the just text. It looks clean and small and if I just wanted to look at the pretty horse, the other info wouldn't be distracting.

I do prefer the image, but cropped, otherwise I prefer the text.
