I had a hard time reading that text. The colors you use (#ff9100 on #007cf4) have, according to W3C WAI color contrast algorithms, too little luminosity contrast ratio and too little difference in brightness.

My eyes hurt because of the colors you used... and it is just a short piece of text! Thank goodness it is not a novel!

I think Century Gothic (and Futura which is very similar but I think better ) is good for headings, blurbs, and other short passages of text. I wouldn't use it as body copy though.

I'm not sure your presentation sends out a clear message. When I first saw it last night, I thought it was one of those examples which show what not no do (ugly typeface choice, terrible contrast, cheesy outer glow/gradients, absolutely no attention to kerning and alignment, spelling errors), but now you mention Century Gothic is good? I'm a little confused. :s

yes that was my terrible sense of humor haha *Stops Laughing*

it is hopefully for people to give advice on how to make it better, so that other that read will gain from your advice, i though it would be a clever way to do it,
do something totally uterly rubish and let other share knoledge on how to change it and then others can also feast on the knoledge of others.
obviuosly it didnt turn out to well..
not as clever as i though some users were..
your just a critisizing rable..
