Still lots to do with it. I went with the same colours since I like 'em.

Thoughts or advice?

What you have there is really kick ass. Colors match great, reminds me of xbox because of the black n green. It seems to be a little blank though.

Thanks. It's only the first version though.

Think about colour, desaturate shadows, and desaturate light areas. Midtones are saturated irl.
Extreme black and white should also be used a little more sparingly as you rarely encounter them

Layout is ok. Although a little central/mirrored for me =)

Dale, I'm not understanding. What do you mean by desaturating shadows, and desaturatng light areas?

It's very nice...I like the text and the colors...they all match. Just that it's empty in the back...add things to it.

dale said it. saturation is amount of color basically, and the lights and darks are oversaturated now. go to the color picker; the colors on the far right in the box are fully saturated (hence why S changes to 100&#37 and the far left fully desatured. basically, you want to avoid using those colors on the far right for darks and lights (midtones don't go too far right either) because it looks unrealistic. in terms of saturation it's usually midtones > shadows > highlights. usually.

and I agree about the extreme black and white, which should be self explanatory. set up one light source and go with it. right now it looks like you have two or three light sources, which doesn't have to be bad, but try a single consistent light source and it'd look better. if that's a bevel on the background layer, it looks awkward. and what I'm assuming is satin on the middle circle also doesn't look too good. layer styles are limiting in what they allow, and if they're distinguishable they look worse. try other techniques, new layer with large soft brushes, gradients, pen tool, ect.

Did a bit of work on it, not much.
