It's not really much but I started to design another layout using that little use little words to make a big word effect thing.
 There's just a little problem. I don't know what to add, that is, if I should add anything at all. Help?Also, some C&C wouldn't hurt. Thanks.

Like maybe I could add a swirl or something around the middle of the word? |

Some c&c:
The curvy line down the middle is fluid and smooth but the text is blocky. It doesn't flow well together. I think you should stick with smooth lines rather than a textured text. I don't know if that makes sense.

I'd like to say that you used the glow effect in a nice balanced way. ;)

QUOTE(brooklyneast05 @ Jun 21 2009, 07:05 PM) what is decimation decˇiˇmate tr.v. decˇiˇmatˇed, decˇiˇmatˇing, decˇiˇmates, dec-i-ma-tion 1. To destroy or kill a large part of (a group). 2. Usage Problem a. To inflict great destruction or damage on: The fawns decimated my rose bushes. b. To reduce markedly in amount: a profligate heir who decimated his trust fund. 3. To select by lot and kill one in every ten of. I was kind of thinking of the 2b definition. |

 i like boobies, yes I do. I like boobies - how 'bout you? Group: Member Posts: 620 Joined: Jun 2008 Member No: 662,457 |
The theme doesn't really fit the word, ya know? The line is fluid and strong; the words are solid and well held together. When I think of decimation, I think things falling apart, stuff asploding; generally I think grunge. This is the exact opposite. Quite calm.

If it had been a different word, like, equilibrium, it would be right. It's just not right. It's pretty but contradictory. Which is cool, I guess. |

lol, I guess I'll change the title. When I read that 2b definition, I thought of having only a few things and like as little as possible but still looking good.
Hah, w/e.

I think you should stick with smooth lines rather than a textured text. I don't know if that makes sense. Totally agree. The bulkiness and softness contradict each other. And the texture looks cool and all but I don't think it fits with what you're going for. I think you should add more to the right or something. Like more swirls.
