Checkout my photoshop work

[losikid]

Ok its not all ps work, its both Photoshop and adobe fireworks (png editor)

But heres the new header for my website.

(lmk how fast this page (picture) loads)

LMK what ya'll think about the tree i cut out, took hours upon hours. I'm still not super happy, because i got sloppy after the first hour or two...but i don't think my screw ups can be seen after i re sized it down 75% and at a lowered image quality (for speed reasons). First person to find a major flaw lmk and i'll have a nice little led package heading your way...and i'm not talking about whats the difference between l & r, like it doesn't look right flaw.

I have more projects i'm working on, but sadly my adobe trial ends here in afew days so it'll be awhile before you guys see the finished site, its graphics will be extremely overkill, but the store will still work uber fast:ror:

Actually it loaded right quick.
It looks great, the only thing I would change is the fonts and Making everything OK script.

Though I like the font, its too old school. there are so many new fonts on the market that can outshine it. Maybe use a Military type font that goes along with the photo of a testing site in the desert.

and for your saying.
"Making everything OK" isnt really catchy to me
get rid of the Blood font and handprints

Maybe go with
"We make RC better!"
"We make RC Electronics Better!"
"Bringing Control back to RC!"
"When all else fails, OVERKILL it!"


Something like that which represents what you do.

I have talked to many about this stuff when I used to do logo's for new vendors.
Its something I learned in business school. Looks is what brings attention to you and blending your idea with the right font ties it in. Having a catchy saying that refers to your company helps promote you in the right way.

Hope that helps, I know how long that can take. But if you take some or all my advice. you'll find it much more pleasing to you and your customers.

The actual font stuff v84x4 (supershafty.com) did for me, But yes i do agree it doesn't quite work with the background i chose...the reason for the background is the actual "definition" for overklll is a massive nuclear arsenal...i looked around quite abit for a real wide and a narrow landscape to use, but i couldn't so i decided on blending two together, still abit taller than i'd like, but better than nothing...

As for the blood and hand prints, i originally wanted to stay away from blood, but it covers up the only oops i made, which wasn't a oops on my fault, i just didn't realize it till i put two trees together. So for now its got to stay till i do some major work on the tree trunk.

Also on my subtitle, did you understand "OK"...i used it as an abbrev for overkill...although i do like afew of your suggestions

I read it as OK, as in mediocre. I'm sure we're not the only ones to see it that way.

I guess i better change it...

 

[Highlucks]

I got the abbreviation but I see Lisa's point also.

That was how I saw it too...

 

[jwalker]

not a major flaw but i see a piece of the fence floating in "space" where the mushroom cloud is.

If you look, just about every piece is just floating

 

[JokersWild]

I like the background but am not feeling the tree. Just looks funny to me like some dead palm tree i suppose. Not really diggin the font either.

Am diggin the phrase "cause underkill is over rated"

 

[dezfan]

I didn't know there were Joshua trees in Nevada?

I didn't put the tree in there, i found the picture like that with the bomb scenery...but its called las vegas, i'm sure they have those trees somewhere.

That tree was a pain in the arse though to cut out, so its staying...it kinda ties the two pictures together and gives a border

 

[Frankenwheely]

Yeah in Joshua Tree CA.

Plus the 2 hands "quoting" looks like Jazz Hands.

be careful of "using" someone else's art. i dont know the details behind you using it so i will leave it at that. myself being an artist know artist tend not to like when they see their work used in someones site with out permission.

 

[crawler nub]

dunno if any said this but i cant tell whether the tree is up close or far away....but otherwise thats sweet"thumbsup"

Well i tried to make it look so its growing through the fence, so it should be fairly close.

If someone gets po'd that i used part of their art in the scheme of the overall image, then i'll take it off in a heart beat. But the picture was posted publicly with no author to be found, i cropped a bunch of it out, added elements to it...i didn't even want the tree to be honest, which seems to be the only piece of art on it, i can't tell if the bomb is a picture or a drawing...
