The text is very hard to read. It took me a while to get it, but I THINK it says Blue Fin Atlantic :-\ Either that or Glueing Plastic :-\ I love the wood grain look, and it appears you may be trying to do a sawdust look on the text or something, maybe if the text was a bit bigger or spaced out it would be less blended together. ---

yeah its blue fin atlantic. Well the kid who owns this company wants a wood-type theme… and he likes that head. I agree that the text is hard to read, but I was worried more about the wood texture. Regardless, he likes it and has agreed to pay me more if I can get the wood look to work… ---

a development… this is what i’m looking at doing now… (his idea and he loves it)… ![](http://www.livetoskateboard.com/curious/layoutTrial.jpg) something similar to that… one good thing, is I think my photoshop skills are improving a little bit… 🙂 ---

thats quite nice :beam: one thing though… the box looks kinda awkward inside the area with the curved outline 🙂 ---

Yeah, in its current state it isn’t too ‘hot’, but with some work it could be good 🙂 And as long as he likes it, who cares 😛 ---

this is what it looked like before, and I really liked it because it kind of went along with the color scheme of his old site: [http://www.livetoskateboard.com/bfa/index.php](http://www.livetoskateboard.com/bfa/index.php) ---

hi jubby, i liked the wood texture a lot can you make a test version with the same wood texture as background of the menu? that white area bugs me :-\ and maybe a wood pattern as a page background ? ---

something like that perhaps? ---

yeah something like that could work… its just that he wants a wood texture for the whole thing, but I don’t think i could get that to work… I dunno… I’ll figure something out… ---

the reason that I couldn’t do a wood grain on the menu is because the menu table is going to vary in height and I wouldn’t be able to get it to stretch seemlessly… hopefully it will look better once I get some content up… ---
