Cue To Eclipse web banner

I have created this for my own band Cue To Eclipse now that our EP is recorded & we have copies to sell. It has been posted on our own Myspace page with the code for fans to copy it wherever they want. Because of what Blogger will display this animiation won't work unless you click it. Alternatively visit the band page to see it working.....

Our page is www.myspace.com/cuetoeclipse where you can see the banner in action & the rest of the page which I did the designs for.

The font I have used is Trajan Pro as this is the font used for most band related design (it is part of the EP design). It fits the image & sound of the band very well, as the idea behind the music is metal/post-hardcore with an epic edge. It is also a nice contrast to the logo, which conjures images of a metal band. The Trajan Pro represents the  epic side of the band. The background I have used is also based on the CD, it is the same texture but with a green tint & a pattern added. I also used this look for the Myspace design. I didn't want to just use black in the typical metal band fashion, I tried to make this band seem a bit different as the music has been said to be like nothing else out there. Cue to Eclipse have been said the sidestep all the cliches & I wanted to keep this in mind.
