    This is a conceptual piece, made for a remembrance day slide show for school.

    v1
    [​IMG]
    Thoughts/suggestions?

    v2.
    [​IMG]
    Changes: Significantly reduces opacity of vignette, changed some of the flowers because they looked repetitive, removed blur of text, added slight bevel to text, and removed close up poppy on the right because it looked outta place.

    v3
    [​IMG]
    Changes: Changed the text to all-caps.

    wallpaper (1440x900):
    [​IMG]

    Note: The concept here isn't very hard to grasp, although I can see how one could perceive the picture differently. My intentions were (if you looked at the original picture) that instead of dropping bombs and hate, the planes are dropping poppies in honour and respect. Although the parachute idea is kinda cool, it doesn't quite work with fighter planes, as somebody mentioned lol.

    Remove the blur on the text, the brown text. It'll look better. The colors are great, I really enjoy the red mixed with the dull colors. Also, lighten up the black circular area around it.

    They're parachutes... Hence the planes...

    Who knows... something falling out of the sky, I presume they're parachutes.

    I don't like the circle frame.. Otherwise looks good, although don't like the blur on the top large flower.

    Please remove the oval frame. The photo is too powerful to contain, it needs the open space.

    They are poppies you morons.

    And yea fade the oval frame a bit more, it's a good old-fasioned effect, but it should be subtle not overpowering.

    And it doesn't really look right when metaphorical people are jumping out of fighter planes.

    You should definetly fade out the oval frame. And you should make the text fit together a bit more. the T in those should start at the same vertical as the R. That may just be personal preference.

    I'd use it as a wallpaper if it weren't so small. Shame.

    On V2, put Remember back in capitols. Capitols nearly always look better and small letters just don't look right here.

    1440X900. The second one's res was frustratingly close! :p

    Lose the bevel on the brown text. Also im not to keen on the brown, either make it a very dark brown, almost grey like charcoal, or a faint brown. either should go nicely with the red
