actually theres alot more to it then u guys seem to think
i took the pictue, i then slapped it inbetween to smokey layers, after that i put my logo in the eye, i then changed the hue, i grabed 2 brushes, i also typed out some text about 5 times radial blured some other effects.
and believe it or not i spent a good 2 hours on that tryin to see what i could do with that image
smokey layers = render clouds
duplicated layer
make on these color dodge
distort wave
change hue of one of them
the eye takes up a huge amount of space and may intrude on icons
and this is y icons are movable
there is more work there thn u r seeing and u r judging based on weather or not i used more complicated techniques which are not needed. you guys should actually grad on weather it looks good.u guys are letting your knowledge of graphics influence weather something looks nice or not. and besides the brushes are there to be used if u dont use em they just go to waiste
