finaly got time to do something for the front entrance. I was also held up because I had to wait to get imageready as part of Photoshop (my previous version had screwed up and I couldn't be bothered trying to reinstall everything).
It's taken me a fair few hours to do it, PS:CS doesn't have good vector handling and so I had to figure out how to do a lot of the crap. I'm thinking I need to get that vector handling one from Adobe but not sure about the money.
C&C please.

it would look better with more shades of blue (im tha blue master) and it shouldnt take long, image mapping doesnt take that long either (with dw)

When I first drew it, I only did three circles and then added detail. As such I went with three shades, if you follow the paths you will see that there are only three seperate objects. If I did any other colours then I would have to blend which I was trying to avoid.
I'm not 100% certain I like it... seems i donno... still gonna tweak it I reckon.
But as a front door to allow selection of different versions of my web site, what do you guys reckon?

Well, I have a few things I dislike about it. First off, the numbers aronud the sides look horrible, and very misplaced. They dont really go with the 'high-tech' of the image itself. Also, the color of the image is really a mundane color of blue.
I think it may look better on a black background? Possibly centered on the page?

yeah, I'll try black tonight.
Hmm... the numbers I messed around with trying to get right. Tried using warp and so forth to do em properly but just couldn't find a way to make em work. Even tried a whole heap of fonts. Any suggestions on how to make em look good?
How would you suggest improving the blue?

for the fonts, make a 2 point path with the pen tool, then bend it correctly, then do "type along path" or something like that.

Try a different background color first then try experimenting with colors. Possibly try making it blue?
I'd just remove the text totally, it doesnt work with it.

hmm... i'll experiment tonight (which will be morning for you guys). I agree about the text, it realy sucks. I just wanted to be able to allow selection of different versions.
I like your idea Illegal, i havn't tried doing that before.
What I realy wanted to do was have different rings be the url link for the versions and have them change with mouse over, but i was worried about the size of the image for each mouse over.
