Hi Doug,

Thanks for the preview image. It's looking great! It does need some 
adjustment to help me get the titles and text on. Here's my (hopefully) 
constructive comments:

- The Atari logo doesn't seem to have exactly perfect proportions - but it 
  might just be me. I'd love to see the logo in relief or embossed filling 
  a panel - like the cross panel on the left. It would make it a more 
  integral part of the image - it could be a splat as it stands. The more 
  detail in the centre of the image the better because it leaves space 
  down the right to overlay text.
  For the same reason it might be better to have plain grey tiles on the 
  right hand side rather than the tasty eggshell tiles.
- The little bit of sky/space at the top right will be almost totally lost 
  when we splat the AC logo at the top right :-(
  Without a clue the computer is floating in orbit the meaning behind the 
  image is lost. Could the image be scaled down a fair bit leaving 
  sky/space along the bottom edge (where I run a banner) and swing/rotate 
  the image so the base and right hand edges of the computer are roughly 
  (but don't have to be exaclty) parallel to the bottom and left of the 
  page?
  This way the image would draw the eye towards the logo and leave plenty 
  of sky/space to the right for text. Crudely I'm envisaging something 
  like this:

 --------------------------------
|   --------------               |
|  |  AC LOGO     |              |
|  |              |              |
|   --------------               |
|           ---------            |
|      -----         |           |
|  ----              |  xxx xxxx |
|  |                  |          |
|  |                  |  xxx xxx |
|  |                   |         |
|  |                   | xxxx xx |
|  |                    |        |
|  |                    | xxx xx |
|  |                     |       |
|  |                    xxxxxx x |
|  |                      |      |
|  |                    xx xxxxx |
|  |                       |     |
|  |           ------------      |
|  -----------                   |
|  xxx  xxx xxx xxx  xxx xxx xx  |

Maybe with planetfall in the background South-West quadrant?...

Thanks for your efforts so far, I think we have a great cover in there 
somewhere, if you need to chat, give me a ring on 01206 852602 and speak
