Default "Cage" Advert Design

Here is an advert I designed for a friend. It was rushed, doesn't really have a lot of depth and could be a lot better but ah well have fun viewing.

Looks nice but there is an over use of GuassianBlue/Glow effects.

I will comment more when I get back from the gym

I love the background but the text is hard to read, cause its blurry.

I agree with all. Try adding the blur only to the accented words or not at all. Looks good otherwise though!

Agree with everyone else, and... what does Nike have to do with it?

Well depending on where this advert is put, be very very careful and try to avoid using logos like the Nike logos. They're copyrighted, so if you used this to really advertise, you could be in a lot of trouble for using the Nike logo. Sometimes you need to go against what the client asks for, possibly getting sued over using the Nike logo, is not worth it to simply please your friend.

Just because? Or is there a reason?

@ Susanna-Cole : It was just a school project he wanted help on, so I knew it wouldn't be commercially advertised or anything . Oh yeah btw is that you in the B&W picture on your site?

@ alyCe : Well my friend was designing a street football style cage, purely for a project not for industry or anything. So he asked for the Nike logo to be on it probably to show a representable affiliate I'm not sure.

And yeah I did over use the GuassianBlur effect but I was being lazy and rushed it so I thought it would do haha.

Oh ok, yeah well if it was just a school project that I suppose that's fine.
And yeah, that's me. Why do you ask? Or just wondering...
