Macro design

Give me the worst

[Cwilk]

Love the graphic/photo, but not too sure about the words in that font and design.

[mickhawkes]

Thats about the same feelings That I had
Back to the drawing board

[mickhawkes]

Just redone this after some come back from another forum

[prewe]

still not really fond of the font. but since i don't have any suggestions i should probably be quiet. but just my point of view.

Hmm.. The keyboard looks out of place. Change the font. Drop the lensflare.

[Shinwow]

I'd say try changing both fonts to a simpler one, and yeah it looked better without the lensflare, it makes the keyboard stick up away from the rest of it.

[Hoyer]

I wouldn't have the font changing size in that way

You might find it useful to ignore fonts and text for now. Focus on the chip, and the keyboard.In the chip Hue Saturation and Value all need a lot of work. Spotted tonal adjustments might be helpful (dodging/burning areas to give extremely subtle variation)

Right now the keyboard looks like a photo you took, altered the perspective, scaled it down, then plopped onto your chip photo. It appears tacky. To resolve this you can try tackling issues listed above for the chip as well as the keyboard.

However, i would most suggest that you consider tracing the art and it's detail with a pen tool into vector. From there you could really start pushing the work.

Flamboyant text and low quality photography is not easy to make look good, namely because it inherently doesn't.

Despite all this, the concept is good. Media on call, the chip, the keyboard, is an interesting play.

There's a lot more i could say, (the use of lens flair firstly) but this is enough for now.

Good luck and kudos to sharing your work for critique!

For sometthing that started out as just a bit of play with a concept,
this has attracted some interesting comments, Thanks for all your points of view on this, when I get more time, I'll play with it some more.
