About my design

by defenda
How is it. This is my first submission, which I did at work using the "Paint" program that comes with Windows. Sorry, the setup looks bad, I need to learn what "Flash" is so I can put a zoom in. Any suggestions on how to lay it out better, or different colours, would be nice. Hope you like it. Peace.

ummm... yeah... he's not a rudeboy, but maybe you could use the colors on Bond, like you did the tree?

I don't like the jamaica inspired palm trtee colors......maybe it would look cool in a dark brown or grey and also a bit smaller. I also don't like the "rudeboy." Something funnier would be better. Maybe " Sauve" or " On the bed sugar"

Make the text "007 at Ocean Eleven" and it'd be much more interesting.

that's a good idea felix. any comments about the colours? think maybe just a white shirt is a bit boring...

Hey, herman and shoshanna, did'ja read the text? Didja think that maybe there was more to it? I like it. Maybe on the khanki, but I like the white.

cheers Adam, yeah it's not meant to be just a James Bond shirt, it's really a sixties thing, about rudeboys imitating film stars. It's not meant to be ironic or funny, just a bit cool: hence I didn't use "suave" as the title. Just to explain... rudeboys were just cooler versions of what "homeboys" are now. The dressed well, owned guns, and loved good music.



Might give the Khaki a try... any suggestions for a bigger picture, bigger/smaller text, different position?

I'd like it ALOT on black with a white bond. Good job for your first... amazing for doing it in PAINT.

Cheers! I actually quite like using Paint. I work in an office and we can't install anything on our computers. If ANYONE could email me the photoshop template in a normal format, that would be awesome! Tom. (tcr@minterellison.co.nz)
