what do you think?

The text is very hard to read.

It took me a while to get it, but I THINK it says Blue Fin Atlantic :-\

Either that or Glueing Plastic :-\

I love the wood grain look, and it appears you may be trying to do a sawdust look on the text or something, maybe if the text was a bit bigger or spaced out it would be less blended together.

[reverendflash]

I agree. It took me a while to realize you were advertising Plastics as well...

:beam:

yeah its blue fin atlantic. Well the kid who owns this company wants a wood-type theme... and he likes that head. I agree that the text is hard to read, but I was worried more about the wood texture. Regardless, he likes it and has agreed to pay me more if I can get the wood look to work...

[lostinbeta]

Well I think the background wood texture is awesome, I like it a lot.

[reverendflash]

the wood grain is excellent...

pfff.... clients...

a development....

this is what i'm looking at doing now... (his idea and he loves it)...

something similar to that...

one good thing, is I think my photoshop skills are improving a little bit... :)

[ahmed]

thats quite nice :beam:

one thing though.. the box looks kinda awkward inside the area with the curved outline :)

[Jubba]

yeah i noticed that too. I changed the file around a little bit for the final version. He likes it, i hate it, but whatever.... its his money. :)

[Jubba]

here is a link to what it has ended up looking like. I am not particularly happy with it, but the client is...

Yeah, in its current state it isn't too 'hot', but with some work it could be good :) And as long as he likes it, who cares :P

[Jubba]

this is what it looked like before, and I really liked it because it kind of went along with the color scheme of his old site:

hi jubby,

i liked the wood texture a lot

can you make a test version with the same wood texture as background of the menu? that white area bugs me :-\

and maybe a wood pattern as a page background ?

[Guig0]

something like that perhaps?

[Jubba]

yeah something like that could work... its just that he wants a wood texture for the whole thing, but I don't think i could get that to work... I dunno... I'll figure something out...

[Jubba]

the reason that I couldn't do a wood grain on the menu is because the menu table is going to vary in height and I wouldn't be able to get it to stretch seemlessly... hopefully it will look better once I get some content up..

[Guig0]

oh.. ok.

[mdipi]

much better. and did you do his flash intro?
