    An Add, Maybe?!?!

    I was playing around with some orb stuff and came up with this, C+C definatley appriciated but let me say this firt: I know the text looks like crap, I'm finding more and more that when it comes to text I don't have a clue. So I'd definatley appriciate some guidance with that. Anyway, here it is:

    Will do. I wasn't sure about that myself lol. Thanks.

    How about a light drop shadow on the text instead of the inner glow.

    That might make it POP.

    Nice use of colour & texture but I don't think the shadow on the grey spheres is quite right...they look a little flat. As for the text...bevelled text works a lot less often than people actually use it...I'd like to see a simple, heavyweight sans serif font...sort of like Impact...in a hue sampled from elsewhere in the pic & with a hard black drop shadow...& not in red, as that competes too much with the sphere that's standing out. This is just my humble two cents worth... Something like this maybe.

    Thank you all for your comments and suggestions. I've udated the image using most of them. The only one that I didn't use was the shadow under the grey orbs (and that's because, like an idiot I combined all the orb layer's, shadows and all, DOH!!! lol) Anyway, here it is, and can't wait for your new C+C:

    I really like it - i suggest keeping the floor and maybe making it more metalic - put a shine to it reflection from the objects around
