Default FinalGear v3.5 Work In Progress (Need Feedback)

Been busy recoding the entire backend from basically scratch.

However I'm running into design issues. I can't figure out what to do to make it look good. images/smilies/sad.gif

Here is http://www.finalgear.com/shows/topgear/ which lists out the seasons. You'll click a season and it'll take you to a list of episodes for that season with the description below each one.

If you don't mind making it a little image heavy you could make a few banners next to each season, with highlights of what's inside, nothing big. That would certainly add colour and filling to the list imo. 11 banners times average 30-40 kb each wouldn't amount to much on the user, or you could incorporate the season into the banner.

The effort involved though would be a bitch. I have enough trouble as it is making sure all episodes have descriptions.

Coding wise or image wise? I'd get on it if you were interested...

I realized I could just steal the image from the Wiki. Looks pretty good actually!

The episodes listing look great, the screen caps are a really nice touch.

For the season listings page maybe you could put a general overview of some of the major highlights from the season next to each season listing with an animated gif or something with the screen caps from the episode listings??

The new layout looks stunning. The pics really bring each episode to life (or differentiate them in my memory) for quick reference. Either way, brilliant job Viper.
