EDITED
EDIT2(Final)

IT's 25% of the original size - I've been working all day on this one.
I have some ideas, but I want to take a break and to hear other people's opinions - Gimmie suggestions on what I should do to make it less "empty".

EDIT: Updated
EDIT: I think I found it!

Do you want it to be busy? There's probably some geocities site out there you can steal some gifs from.

Well, you have to be more specific than that . . ..

First off, what is this for ?

I'm assuming it's not an advertisment, if it is, scrap it now.

You have black text over top of multiple black images, this is your first problem. The colours are too brilliant for the viewer to manage the entire way through your copy text, it almost hurts the eyes - atleast on screen. Printed, orange never looks very good.

A simple suggestion would be to try aligning the copy text along the circle, so instead of a ragged-right alignment it flows with the curve around the tiger.

I would move the character over a bit to the right, so the left shoulder is ALMOST touching the edge - this will create a lot of tension, and in turn visual interest.

Just some thoughts - Rob.

With art like that, it really needs a slogan.

"Karate - because if you're suffering from leprosy, you might as well kick some ass."

its hard to read because of that circle thing the tiger(?) is in... maybe make the text a different color in that area(color dodge?)


other then that looks good :thumbsup: that guy kinda freaks me out tho

I tried a few different things - I ignored with too many black objects and blew the images up to make it look more "filled".

Whatcha guys think?

Final version up! Poll will be up as well!

I think it would be a little better if u moved the guy over so he wasn't over the words. Keep him as "tall" as possible w/o running over into the words?

I'm just not particularly fond of the karate guy or the font for some reason. *Shrug* I do, however, like the last one compared to the rest.

I like the second one.. but keep the contrast of the background lower so that it's easier to read the text

My thoughts exactly :light:

Hard to see the guy in the final version, looks like a bunch of sguigly lines.

Yeah, I was kinda afraid of that - since I know what it's "supposed" to look like, it's hard for me to judge . . ..
