^ wow that was pretty harsh.
Okay, I'll break down my thought process - it is supposed to be random - the black grunge brushes at the top create a night sky and represent heat coming from the city... meaning racing is "hot" and the overall pervading theme is "heat" ... i.e. smoke from the tires, black-top heat... which leads to the pink/blue swirls - that's tire smoke - and it follows the lines on the Nissan 350Z. The black swirls in the background do represent tire tracks - there are ones behind the Ford Mustang and Nissan 350Z. The whole point of the orbs is to pull the color design together and to reaffirm the subtle tech outlet of the design, which is first introduced with the gray/silver lines in the banner, and the "3D" borders on the boxes. The Fast and Furious website is EXTREMELY techy, but I didn't want to recreate that. The skyline? Well, the stock photo is good, but I didn't like the angles, so I found my own. I doctored a stock photo of the tokyo skyline to "imitate" the F&F one. Above all, I wanted to create my own designs and minimize use of the "official" stuff. The simple font - yep, it's simple. Straight-up Arial. And I actually haven't done that before. Reason being, it's been a real trend in belnds and collages lately, so I decided to try it out. I think it looks great in the "tokyo drift" part, and the lyrical excerpt, but I think you're right when it comes to the "lions, tigers..." line. I'm gonna change that ![]() The volume equalizer... I agree... I think I'm gonna change the the color combo. That's really one of the only things from the Official site - I print scrned the frames and crop and all sorts of stuff to pull that out. Oh yeah.. what res do you use? My FF looks fine. Thanks for the critique ![]() |
