I like shawn3.jpg -

it looks more underground and perfect for a DJ - depending on what what style of music is to be included, nice work!
the other 2 are a little to clean and sharp for my liking

#3 is great. killer logo, man. did you create that? what did you make it in?

as for suggestions, i see this site kickin' with smaller, simple buttons (kirupaforum-like), slight flashing rollovers, mellow-hi-tek sounds, and a continuation of greys for the color scheme.

great work.

the graphic artist did it in illustrator, was wondering if the font was too small... since htis is going to be on a CD for him to distribute his stuff. All bells and whistles will ofcourse be technoish. Was wondering what i can put in the actual background

The text 'dj extraordinaire' is perfectly legible

as for the image of the dj - try using the cutout filter in photoshop - it gives you that kind of crobar style -

if your thinking of other things for the background think musical - speakers, microphones and headphones, just an idea.

Well its always a start for anyone just new using a pen and paper and layering out whats going to be where, colors, etc. But basically you just need to play around with filters, layer style and using the tools given in [ps] or illustrator and keep adjusting effects and text. But first, ask yourself what you what to be created and work from there.

An example is a tutorial, raven media i think, which is located in Ultrashock's insight forum. If you have time, go look at it, you will be amazed how simple the layout is when you actually see the step by step procedure. But of course, if the tut wasnt around, you would think it was techincal, uhh uhh

hi pares101 did you do the new york landmark in photoshop like i said (cutout) or did you try something else? It looks good ether way

Not to keen on the bluring of the logo all the attention goes on that - sorry no ideas for a menu system - but i'm sure you'll find something that works!

Good Luck

**Hovi** · February 25th, 2004, 06:56 PM

thnx for the heads up[ minimalistik. ]Nice tut

**pares101** · February 25th, 2004, 07:05 PM

actually not cut out , but i used thresh hold to get the desired effect , i blurred the logo to signify that its going to go from blurred to normal really fast...

check out shawn8.jpg for the latest on what i got done

and i know for a cool menu system $#@K$@#L:K$#@ WOOHOO wow im brilliant!

BRILLIANT!!
