No crackle. I vote 2, too.

I like #1 because of the texture.

Bornieo: Fully Loaded · 06-05-2010, 01:44 AM

I'll go #2

I like them both, but the second one - that I admit I found initially more appealing - looks like what you see everywhere - very smooth and digital. The first one's texture effect makes it look less common, i.e., much more distinctive and unusual - but still retains the beauty of the design. My vote is for No. 1.

Are the backgrounds going to be as large as they are in your snapshot? They are very similar in design, but the magnification

shows detail that makes #1 look a bit messy. Will the background remain black as well?

The overall background is black. And, the design will appear larger on the site, but in the same roportions shown. I made smaller screen shots so I wouldn't cause the thread to expand to full screen.

There will be the site name in the top black space, links just below the horizontal part of the design, and then Flash driven content in the large black open space.

Wanted to keep this one pretty clean to drive most of the attention to the content, while still giving it a little flair.

I'm bucking the trend, but I prefer #1.

Must clarify. On their own #2 is preferable to me but "background" implies usage in relation to a foreground. Preference could easily change depending on what it was behind, including finding neither particularly good.

(1) looks like it needs some moisturizer.

Sorry to break radio silence, but SusieAnne Krellingshaw said that she wanted me to tell you that she liked #1 better because she found it more tasteful.
