The background rocket image is from NASA under > public domain [1]. Wow Fab, this is sweet! I really like the angle you've got the screen at; it's an inviting angle, it makes you feel drawn in. The coloring and lighting is perfect. I think I do agree with a couple of critique points other folks made: - Because the rocket is much smaller than the screen in proportion, it looks a little strange for the fire to run on top of the screenshot. But I understand wanting to have some cool fiery effects, too. Maybe have the main stream run behind the screenshot, but have some fire curls curl upwards both behind and in front of the screenshot? - I think having two rockets is also a little over the top - you've set up such a nice and clean composition here, having the two makes it a bit more complicated. I'd pick one or the other. I think the white rocket '1' actually looks quite nice and has some really nice lines. A few things maybe to consider: - remove the photographic rocket, move the 'f' and the '3' up so the rocket reads more like a one (so the '3' is aligned with the solid part of the white rocket rather than halfway up the flames) and maybe replace the diagonal the current photographic rocket creates with some swirly stars... - remove the white rocket from the 'f13' mark in the lower right, and replace the photographic rocket with the white one - maybe keep the orange flames or maybe do white flames. - Just a totally weird idea you can throw out - your composition made me think of it - make it look like the rocket is 'taking off' from the swirl in the screenshot's wallpaper... might have to back the screenshot up a bit and angle it more towards the ground to achieve this. Not sure if it'd work either. Awesome work Fab, I'm really impressed :) ~m _______________________________________________ design-team mailing list design-team@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/design-team
