    Decided we needed a little bit more color for this autumn now that the trees are changing and leaves are dropping.

    Thoughts, Opinions, Comments?

    Since I was unable to contact the original owner of this photo, I'd though I would just post a link to the original, here. I made a "few slight" changes to reflect my own personal aesthetic preferences.

    i like it alot. so when winter hits are we gonna have a snow filled pic w/ suby? i like the idea. also we still need a huge banner for the wide screen version. the only reason i dont use the wide screen is cause it looks so plain without a header! good job alex!!!

    Been meaning to talk to you about the banner alex, i work at a media firm, inwhich we do logo design.. One day while reading the forums our art director came in and saw the the logo of WRXatlanta.com, and asked if i would like one designed for free, why not. So whenever he finishes it, i'll send it along to you for your opinions.

    As for the car, I "upgraded" the following to personal taste: Wheels went from prodrive's brazen bronze to my personal favorite bronze/gold; The car was lowered to my standard; the lights were cleared; the car was tinted to my perference; sti emblem was removed; sti on fog flights went from pink to a light silver (upcoming "mod" for me as well). Oh, I forgot about this, but I also tinted the rear tail light ever so slightly. Ultimately, I added my favorite aesthetic mods which I will at one point do myself.

    As for the scenary, I felt the image was dull and lacked the actual colors of autumn. So, in went the brown, the oranges and the reds, out went the overall dullness. The leaves where sharpend ever so slightly as was the body of the car.

    As for the logo, some of you may recognize it from the photoshop with the pills I did for this week's contest. I tried to give it an autumn feel with the colors and go for a slight "retro" appeal for the look.

    Finally, Blink, Milo told me how you approached him at the Dyno day with this idea. I am more than open to suggestions and am curious to see what your design team is cappable of. I appreciate your enthusiasm and am eager to see your idea(s).

    Cheers,
