MetalSkin Entrance Redesign

[MetalSkin]

Hey guys,

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).

So here it tis:

MetalSkin.com Front Entrance

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.

yeah man teh over stages are perfect but one 1.0works...lmao

[MetalSkin]

lol, thats only because there is only one, currently

[robgasm]

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)

[ROTD]

rofl i do pure html its fuun!

[robgasm]

image mapping asnt, you gota find all the co-ords

im crap at html anyay so...

[MetalSkin]

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?

[MetalSkin]

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?
