I have been making my website, however I'm not sure if I'm being too anbitious. I want to have a flash roll over portfolio, below is an image of how I want it to look. I wanted to make it look a little futuristic to be modern and up to date, and possibly a bit quirky (with ice cream like clouds).

I have looked at alot of different signs, it has helped me when it comes to keeping it simple when designing the Waterbus ones. It also got me thinking, as a little test, it would be interesting to make a sign, with both the text and image the same size.. 
Text: Look left
Image: ---->
... present it to somebody and ask them to act on impusle and do as they see/are told. 
I wonder if image would be stronger or text?

Started working on a homepage today for the Tshirt line, but when my friend/business partner got round he suggested perhaps why not carry on focusing on the designs themselves before the Homepage , as this could help shape the identity/feel alot more, and give me a much stronger focus on the style of the page. However I do have a pretty nice illustrated half finished idea coming togther, one that depicts a factory setting, with a Tshirt at an approaching prespective led flat with all sorts of crazy things landing on it etc. Hard to explain, but in the end it should look impressive.

I was looking at problems I might come across in terms of copyright etc, I found a Tshirt line by the same name SkyHigh in Belguim, its even more annoying that their designs arent particularly good and they don't look like they're even trying to take it seriously as there doesn't seem to be any propper site etc, but only a myspace page with one design. However after googling, the link above talks about perhaps making the name unique to byy adding either a road name or location etc. SkyHigh. Im wondering if the same rule could be applied in terms of maybe adding something as suttle as an astrix at the end.
