Default "Star Trek Insurrection"

I'm not happy with it... and I'm not entirely sure why. The top of the front seems so empty, but I don't know what to do to fix it.

You could make the title words bigger on the front... I dunno what else you could do. It looks alright, but I see what you mean about being empty.

The images are just spread too far apart, I think a front cover should always be jam-packed with images.

You could just add some mote of the illumated stars around there, or do a trasparent of the planet ont he front with everything else over top of it just to kind of fill it out a little. If you don't want to go to that extreme, I also agree with Bean and just make the title words bigger.

You definately need stars to go with that nebula thing, it may not be realistic, but just looks better.

To me it seems a bit disjointed...obviously seperate images pasted onto a background rather then anything bring them all together.

Heh, I feel like I'm being an ass in saying this, but The faces need to be in between where they are now, and the original for size. Data seems to prominent now. But it does look alot better.

You shouldn't feel like an ass. I asked for criticism and you gave it. So you're saying that the faces are now too big? Or that they should be moved closer to the side of the image? Because I did move them inward a bit after I realized that some of Riker's face and Picard's ear were going to be chopped off at the edges when the border gets cropped.
