Custom Made Logo
First Step:
Final Logo:
I gave the font a warp and played with a few blending options such as Inner Drop Shadow, Stroke and Outer Glow until i found what i think would be suitable for my target market.
I added the fern which i created in Illustrator.
Custom made background image
I started with this found sports court image and ran it through photoshop...
Sourced from:
Converted the image to greyscale then adjusted the Brightness and Contrast.
I then used the burn tool too create this darker shadow perspective off into the distance effect.

Final BG:
I left the black bar in the middle as that wont be seen due to the large container over it which will be black to give the layout visual symmetry which looks aesthetically better

Grid Research
I like the idea of this layout/grid in this Mission Inline Hockey Website
http://inhaler.missionhockey.com/
i like the large central heading and image which i could use to show a News Article, Notices or Upcoming Events. i would use a similar navigation bar but on far right of it instead of the Facebook links it will be the log in text fields.
have a template for the 960 grid system which i have used to layout my own wire frames.

users can search common interests to find these links and pin boards and are
able to follow the links they are also interested in and even pin links to
their own pin boards.
The Unique feature along with this site would be that you
