Great layout here. Only thing I'd change would be making the text a #f7f7f7 - #ffffff gradient. It looks a little hidden right now.
mehh..thanks. Sorry for the crap i've given you. I guess you just somehow hit my explode button. I tried to wrap the c4d's around the character to make it look like he/she was in the middle of them...I hope it worked. Ill see if I can improve the text.
It's easy to take critiques personally, believe me, i've been there. Just because one piece doesn't come out great doesn't mean you can't be a great designer.
indeed, luckily I dont have the pressure (unlike you??) of having to do this for a living. Im just doing it for fun. Photoshop skills come in handy a lot believe it or not.
