I'm not photoshop pro, but I'm slowly moving along...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

>.> Need some help...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Right now I'm working on a desktop image but am indecisive on the border.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

#1:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

#2:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

#3:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Which one should I use?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note: This is a traditional Chinese border that you can find on the red envelopes for example. This image is NOT complete yet as I still need to work on adding some things (hunting for a good reference picture of a Chinese compass, and I don't mean the ones they use for Feng Shui :|).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT: Fixed. Sorry about the hyper links. :oops:

most people usually don't go into hyperlinks.

Bah forgot about that. *Edits* Thanks. :oops:

I don't know if it would be "fengshuishly" acceptable, but I think a dark red border would look nicer than any of those :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just a sugestion though..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Did you write the chinese symbols yourself?

The chinese words seems a bit too clean to me, I think it would fit better if you use more artsy styles, anyway I don't know how to describe this, I mean the style when doing Calligraphy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hope this makes sense to you.

Not aiming for the Feng Shui feeling because I have not studied that well enough to understand it. :( Will try to use a dark red border to see how that works.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Chinese characters come from a Chinese word processor I use called "NJ Star" and was copied over onto Photoshop. I only have a mouse or I'd just use a drawing pad for the characters myself. :oops: (Although my Chinese writing is dreadful lol.)

Yep, makes sense. Will see if I can hunt up more fonts for Chinese writing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks! :D

I like Number 2 the best... :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It just seems to flow the best with the theme you are doing.

The 2nd and 3rd one look good. Either one could work out great.

number 1! i like the first one

I'd go with a dark-ish red border :wink:

Number 3 for its simplicity... No need to overdo it color-wise.
