Could use some C&C ( Don't mind the proportions )

I like this image, particularly the crucifix, but here are a few notes:
The image appears to be increasingly blurred from the inside out. I'm not sure that adds much to it, and we lose detail on what I presume is a woodcut of Raphael's Eye.Ã,Â
The text in the centre also seems to have been blurred slightly. Employing anti-aliasing is much more effective than blurring sharp edges.
It seems we're looking at an old document, albeit one with a save/load menu on it. With that in mind, the curved title seems out of place. It looks like a bit like wordart.
For reference material, try following some of the links in this not-very-popular thread: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=23188.0
The design is nice, tough I have a few things I don't quite like:
- the document has no real texture. this makes it just a paper with weird edges.
- drop the blur. it makes this image very unclear and makes the text look weird.
Ali is very right about what he said.
Do you have a copy of the image without blur? If not, then you have a big problem...
So far, there's nothing more to say, really.
But overall it looks like a good game screen.
Apart from what the other people mentioned here before, I'd move the words "Raphael's Eye" a few pixels down and make sure that the text-buttons ("New Game", "Restore Game" etc.) are horizontally centered correctly (they look like they need to be moved to the right a few pixels to be specific).
I think you have a bigger problem: The image size is 500x500 (aspect 1:1!!) How are you going to fit that on the screen?
