Pretty cool text effect, Sallyanne. :cool

Being a borderline dyslexic, typo prone, bad speller myself, I'm not usually one to point out mistakes, but I think It's tragedy, not tradgery or tradgedy. :mrgreen:

@ GT it is tragedy. I spelt it wrong, thanks for picking that up and commenting on the effect.
@conbagui there is no r after the e but I spelt tragedy wrong anyhow.

I guess my try was tragic as I did my fav group a diservice by misspelling one of their songs.

I'm not going to comment on the spelling since it's already been done. I like the piece you did. Good colors. Nice effect. The lightning bolts on the text are an interesting touch. However, the text part is a bit small for all that background and the opposing novas kind of try to tear the eyes off canvas. If I had to make any changes, I would move the text up into the lower 1/3 position and eliminate one of the spotlights.

Thanks ek. Lightning bolts? Never thought of them like that.
Hadn't split letters before and this was my first time doing it. The text looked better with a white background.
The novas are supposed to be 'bright lights'/explosions and needed a darker background.

'Tis a cool effect.

Made me think of an animal caught in the headlights of an oncoming car, which might or might not be a tragedy depending upon the animal.

Thanks for all your comments.
I did another (without a spelling error this time)and the effect is slightly different too.
