Mmmm, the font is a tad hard to read, and personally I think the border is a bit too red, as in it sticks out too much, but overall its pretty good ^^

Fair comments, can't say I disagree. Lazyness more than anything. I've attached the other three mock-up designs to that post. The final thing should be done tonight, I'll post it when I get around to making it

I like the 3rd one, with the yellow tank and no soldier.  

[PrejudiceSucks]

The border on the third one is best, you should use that effect for the text, and make it an easier-to-read font.

Stencil could look quite nice, although clichéd.

I was asked to use "Red Gothic Text" couldn't be arsed downloading any more so I just went with what was there. The guys asked me too apply the 3rd border to the top image and tweak some other bits. Once I've done that I'll share it with you

Nice work dude really like 2nd banner of the first set and 3rd banner of the second set as it looks the best of the 4.

Nice signatures Sean.  


Highlanders Of Canada - I like the last one.  That symbol just seems to get in the way, and take away attention from the main picture.


Espionage - I like the second one, with soldiers and boxes.  Brilliant font.  

[Sean]

Thank for both for your feedback.

@Dude - I disagree, that symbol I added simply because I was asked to. I couldn't work it in that well and I just think it makes everything look a little sloppy. Hopefully others aren't as demanding as myself when it comes to perfection. Thanks for your comments, I love to get feedback

@Frodo - I agree with you, as I said that logo thingy was part of the actual request. I sent him all 3 and he'll pick whichever he likes most. I think the third is cleaner and more "professional". The font effect for Espi was quite simple to make, the screenshot I used for the background was pretty damn big. I took a new font I'd downloaded and cut the shape of his name out of the screenshot, using the snow to get that feel. I think it worked quite well, looks nice at least

Thank you both for commenting

Nice technique, but don't you think the contrast between Mr N7 and the background is a bit too strong? It looks as if he's standing in front of a poster - is that the intended effect?
The top right corner looks a little too dark, by the way.

[Sean]

He's not suppoused to pop out too much, I kind of like how he came out though.

The top right of the corner is this...

[A. J. Raffles]

How about turning that dark corner into Mr N7's shadow, then? That might move him a bit further into the picture.

[Sean]

Yeh, sounds pretty interesting.

I'll to ask Tai about how I'd go about doing something like that. I'm personally not too sure

I'm going to redo the text I think, has a bit off an odd feel to it.

Any other suggestions?

I'm thinking of perhaps "chaos-colouring" which basiclly means I'll use multiple palletes instead of the monochromatic purple that I have there. Worth a shot?

[taikara]

The text was actually the only thing that really bothered me, as I told Sean on MSN.

I'm a little confused about turning the dark bit into Mr. N7's shadow - there are several ways I can think to do so, some easier than others, but I'm unsure what you guys actually have in mind. Shadows can appear in many different varieties

A close-hugging, outlined shadow? A faded, ambiguous shadow? etc...
