Not a good font for a menu, especially not if you're using TDA. Hard to read.

EDIT: I changed the font since LS post
The menus are created in PS and this set is going to be the first set I make with WS2. Great program, I love the ability to add animated buttons.

I would make "created by wheezer" a bit more subtle, maybe slightly transparent on the main layer. I would enlarge the picture. I would make the background either total black, or a gradient color. I would change the font on "created by wheezer" and "Disc 3" also. And it is "DISC" with a C and not a K for a DVD. I would tuck everything in a bit closer, right now it looks a bit to loose. You need to be very careful with your overscan borders.

I like how you added a border around the image. I like your new bloody font.

I think I am going to completely remove the "created by" all together.

I used your template for PS to make this and the reason things are spaced is because the buttons are going to be animated pentegrams and I want them to be big enough "pop", but not so big that is the focus.

once the buttons are in there, things won't be so spaced...

Just remember the rules on getting too close to the overscan borders, be sure to read the tutorial I wrote on this site about the topic, it can be found in the "CPS DVD creation tips" thread stickied in this subforum.

The spacing left for the pentagrams, I get you, sound good. The vertical spacing, however, I would still reduce a bit.

Did you get these off the Scream channel with a DVR? I was so disappointed in the quality of the last set I received, such poor resolution!
