All the effects - the clouding and streaks - it's all a bit too much for me.

Whoa, yeah... Those motion blurs are very distracting, and the cloud/splotch thingie behind the 'CONCEPT INC' too. And the paint dripping - is that part of your company's logo? It looked like blood at first. Might just be because I work in the field and see it as a font so I associate it with creepy fonts right away.

But I like the colors. ;)

The limited time offer is a very good marketing adjunct. Always make them feel they're missing something if they don't act Now.

Yes it's definitely better. I'm still not sure about the cloudy stuff round the edges.

I like it BP - eveything except the bulb being...white...its so flat compared to everything else so my eye is drawn right to that immediately.

I love the blue and yellow colors. It looks much better than the firt version. All of that blurring effect was a little much but I like it on the monitor. It works well and gets the 'HURRY or you'll miss out' feeling across well!

I'm not crazy about the yellow band across the top left corner with the 'Concept Inc'. Is there a logo or anything for that or no? If not, you could make it look like a rubber stamp did it?! Just a thought.

The stuff around the corners doesn't bother me at all. Nice work BP.

the stuff around the edges bugs me a bit, but only because i personally don't like using those brushes. still, i can see the point. good work over all - improved from the first draft you posted.

i agree with dzine though. the lightbulb is odd. if you can't put in a real lightbulb (may confuse the viewer, what with the image being as big as it is) perhaps you can put some fantastically exciting text in the bulb? or create text (act now or we'll get you, type of thing) in the shape of a lightbulb, and then you can loose the bulb all together?

just a thought. nice work.

My only two beefs with it are the brushing around the edges and the light-bulb being white. As far as layout, concept and color goes, I think it's rad! I really like the motion blur thing you got going on, too. Good work, PERM (sorry, I can't not type your name in caps. Nostaligia I guess.)

I'd get rid of all the cloudy stuff and change the lightbulb to yellow.

If it weren't for the last minute, nothing would ever get done.

Never put off till tomorrow what you can avoid all together.

Wow...thank god I don't have motion sickness! It's a bit much with all the movement effects. I like the color choice and it is a good layout. I just think you might want to only have the screen with the movement effect and let everything else stay still. Good luck with it.
