Since you want honestly, I'll be technical and nit picky.

First off, change the background. Victorian style backgrounds are extremely cliche and way over used. They don't even look good anymore. And with the one you choose, the actual print is so bold that it actually looks pixely and ugly. The solid gray border around the image should go, its to plain and it clashes with the vectorish/glossy type look your trying to pull off in the center of the image. At the links, where the little arrow is on the bottom right corner, it has a white box around each of them...make it transparent. It makes it look cheap and that you just took a arrow from some other place and just copied and pasted it over and over instead of making something of your own.

Add something to the guys, it looks like you just took a photo of them, cut it out and slapped it up there. Add some brushes or something really cool that will make them pop.

The circular border around where the content go I think you should lower the transparency of it and see if it looks any better, just kind of test with it and see if it would. I can envision it being a little lighter than the solid color is why I'm saying to test it first.

Lastly, the words Infinite and Dimensions should have the same text effects.


Oh also after reading that this was for a rap group, pick some other fonts. Go to dafont and look around or something. Also if your doing this for a client, have you asked them what they thought yet? I would possibly pick out a few fonts, send them to them and ask them which ones they like the best.
