Well, I went with a totally different direction since I didn't really know what to add to the Watercolour layout. I think I should have done more but ehh...not really going for much. I just wanted that clean, simple, minimal look that isn't AMAZING but still eye-appealing, if you get what I mean. What do you think?
Kind of torn on what to add, if I should add anything that is. C&C would be cool. Thanks.  EDIT: (Removed brushes.) EDIT #2: (Lowered the opacity of the brushes.) |

I think it would look better without the brushes.
What font is that?

I like it but I'd like to see what it looks like without the brushes.

Alright, updated. I don't think it looks any better though.
 Seems pretty plain now.

I dk. The brushes look kind of cool but then they get in the way of the text. Have you tried lowering the opacity on them to see if that looks good?

QUOTE(Tomates @ Jun 8 2009, 09:23 PM) its still a bit plain...or at least more plain then what im use to seeing from you. Yeah, I know, but I didn't really want to make something amazing. Just a simple cB layout is fine. QUOTE(A1Bassline @ Jun 8 2009, 09:24 PM) The whole thing looks plain to me. I'm not really sure what to suggest to add more creativity to the layout.  Hm. Yeah, I agree but I went ahead and coded it. Hopefully with the music and content it doesn't look to plain.

Lowered opacity and maybe throw in a marble-esque texture in there, also on lower opacity and it'll look awesome. :D

All these agreeing disagreeing opacity stuff is confusing me.
Anyhoo, it does feel like it's missing something. I like the full opacity one, but the part that looks like a bit of an eyesore is the big loop by the e and p. I think that's because the other areas are rough and that one loop is smooth. (Ok, I'm being picky) Maybe if you found a more edgier background than the horizontal stripes it will add a little extra flare to it *shrug |

 i like boobies, yes I do. I like boobies - how 'bout you? Group: Member Posts: 620 Joined: Jun 2008 Member No: 662,457 |
Maybe try... full opacity at the base where it connects to the letters, and fade them out at the tips?
But to be honest, I think the whole thing is a bit boring... sowwy. =X |

I don't think it looks boring, it looks clean and professional imo.
I do think it looks better without the brushes, but if you are set on using the brushes, I would suggest trying to make them a little closer to the letters, not so wild. That might help. |
