I'll give you one thing, it's definitely different, but I'm not feeling it. The black bars at 100% opacity kill it. Text is weak, and the BG has minimal detail.. Sorry, nice creativity though, just bad execution.
I really HATE those black bars.Cant really give you any advice on BG because there isnt much of a BG do to the black bars lol.Umm add a border and change the color of the text so it shows up more.
