well i duno about the background just being one texture but the graphics are keen

[zaphod]

I dig everything except the neon. The mechanical stuff is very keen.

[ginsengavenger]

keen, yeah. i think it's laid out poorly though, you've got a lot of wasted space (GET IT, HAW HAW ...meh)

i also think you need a bit more distance and less size on those dropshadows. you've got a shadow seam on the left, too.

if you want to have that much empty space in the background you really need to do something with it. instead the first thing i'd do is just take that plug thing on the PDA, shrink it and put it on top (reroute the wires), so you can trim that whole left side of the page.

if you want to go with that kind of techno theme you really need a lot more of it imo.

I like that idea and it looks mostly very good. That neon light doesen't fit in. Meaby different color would make it better.

[st0lve]

I'd rather see a broken down neon sign.

Or maybe even just a pipboy inspired page

Perhaps experiment a bit with the color of the neon light. Also, in my opinion, there's a bit too much open space on the left side of the PDA.

That's about all the constructive criticism I have for today!

EDIT: I also noticed that there's a shadow cut off between images on the left side of the wires coming out of the PDA.

I like the neon and Fallout2-esque technological crap, but I think it's a tad too clean. Maybe add some dirt, mud and rust to the background?

Postech

GENIUS!~

I like it ~

[kleinluka]

i think the background is better off as clean as it is right now, so it's easier to read the text.

Hmm, changes to come:

Good eyes on the shadow seam. At midnight last night I didn't notice it, hehe. Will fix.

The neon won't change though, I like it and later when this thing is torn apart and put into Flash it'll flicker and spark, it'll be neat, promise.

As per the wasted space, I will be making more little trinkets and such to fill that area I think. Giving it a "fuller" appearance.

Thanks for the good crits and comments everyone

[ShaDoW]

Sounds like a plan!

Keep up the good work, I'm looking forward on seeing the website in all it's glory inside of my web browser.

I dislike the neon sign. It seems.. out of place. Somehow. Or maybe it just needs something around it. Same goes for the right side, add another panel or something. It seems rather empty.

[Minos]

I love it, except the text (looks sorta uninsteresting) everything looks fine imo

Edit: updated

*special note* this is a mockup, the glowy bits around the text will look much better in the final site. I blame PS being funky about alpha'd transfers sometimes. Please disregard.
