I've made the titlescreen for Frank the Farmhand part 2, and I just wanted to make sure it got as good as I can do it.
I haven't added the titletext itself but this is what'll be behind it:

*the hangar on the airport is too small, fix that(unless it's your style)
*all the houses are small, but then there is this flight tower, the upper part isn't folowing the rest of the houses, why this tower is HUGE
*i am not following what this thing around the city is, in the left part looks like a fence but the rest make it look like train tracks
*the helicopter landing place on the building is HUGE with all these cars it looks like 9 cars could get on it with good place between them
*when the beach hits the ocean the color should get a little blue but there it gets darker when it hits the ocean fix this
----question----
what is this sand thing on the lower part end the lower right part?
well thats the end of it
but hey, this is a nice title screen much better then i had ::)
The only thing I'd agree with Goel on is the helipad... it is a little big, although it obviously needs to be a bit out of proportion to make the H visible.
The rest is great, except your horizon seems bumpier than it should be...
I can't really crit until I see how you are planning on doing the title and whatever other text is going to go on there...I think that your background image composition is going to be entirely dependent on that and vice versa. The actual drawing of it looks fine...

Geese! Maybe I should've said what the background is supposed to be. It's not a city, it's a military camp. The thing that goes around it is a fence, and the camp's situated on a big cliff overlooking the ocean which is why there's no waves or anything where land meets sea. Is there any way I can make it obvious that it's a cliff and not a beach? The sand thing's a training ground. There's a tank there too.
I agree that the helicopterpad's a bit big. I'll change that.
New version: Changed helicopterpad and added the text:

I think it's nearly perfect for a frank the farmhand game!
I like your style ;) keep going
The doors on the hangars and the top of the controll-tower are WAY to big according to the windows on the houses: The 2-stories house to the right of the helipad-house have the same height in total as the windows on the tower alone, but thts my humble opinion. And the hangar to the left lays too close to the runway, otherwise it looks good it gives me a little simcity-feeling.
I like it. I would not change any size of buildings or doors because it's a special style and it looks graet. But it should get clearer that the military base is located on a cliff.
I made a little paintover:
