Hello fellow artists. Just wanted to get your opinion on this graphic for a potential front page article about the community supplement design project. Is it ok? Looks stupid? Needs some work? Feel free to take the concept and run with it. I encourage any art team members to create a better graphic, or alter this one in some way. I do have some different capsule pictures, if the current highlighted capsule needs replacing.
Picture for front page article

The only thing I really like about the changes I made is applying the black to transparent fill over the background. I'd like to make it an image of a pill coming together from multiple parts - like a diagram of fusion taking place. Ideally I would use some kind of particle effects to make it look like something from a movie. If you want to send me just the background image I'm happy to apply the gradient effect to it if you want to go for something more complicated.
It's funny too, I didn't intend to put a white border around the text, it just happened with the method I used to select it out I suppose.

I was hoping to put a colored transparent fill over the background, but I couldn't figure out how with my ancient graphics program.
Mind and others, I highly recommend downloading and learning to use The GIMP. I'm pretty sure you also have to install this thing called GTK+ with it but it is amazingly powerful. It's really the only modern raster graphics program I've used and I was helping a guy use Photoshop a couple days ago and it seemed like GIMP had everything he was using.
The best part about learning a totally free program like this is if you ever go somewhere they don't have it you can simply download it and get to work. Additionally we could swap raw .xcf files before outputting jpg, gif or png final files.

Thanks for the efforts everyone. Hard to choose, but might go with JML's. Maybe we can rotate them as well.
