Hi everyone

Take a look at this idea I have had for a while. I would like some ideas on how to improve it.

Hi Snowdog -- I like your "invasion" piece. The ideas I had was doing something with the round front door/cover which is partially open...I'm not an expert here, but although the door is flat, it seems "too flat" if you know what I mean, like perhaps if it had a bit of thickness and slight beveling for the edge around it it could look more dimensional. Perhaps a bit more contrast also between the ipod and background.... Another idea might be to add a bit of highlighting, in a subtle way, just so the plastic door has a bit of smooth semi-gloss shine, say on a forward edge, maybe a slight gradient change in tone as the door receeds away from the foreground. I don't own an ipod so I can't say more than that about it's structure.

Lol, I like it. I agree with Raven on the door (button panel), it seems about half way around the circle its thinkness seems to dissapear.....maybe a drop shawdow may help a bit. Great idea

SnowDog

Thanks Raven and patrick for taking the time to check out my image and for your great suggestions.

Here's the updated version

Ahh. I came late to this thread, SnowDog and upon seeing the first image agreed with Raven's fine critique. Dare I say your redo is perfect?

That's really funny. Ya know, if you let that image go on the internet it could become a cult classic. Speaking of iPod World...
