Oh, the reason that I make the major tone white is to match my other 
card. I actually was thinking to squeeze the contract to a very narrow 
brand, and then shift it to one side. I don't know if I've describe it 
clearly enough because I don't know which exact photograph term to use, 
but please think of the spectrum? diagram (that you can get from some 
advanced digital cameras) -- that's what I'm talking about. And I *think* 
my trick can give me the desired effect.

Another example, imaging a star-track poster, on a dark-blue background 
with stars and glaring spaceships, are some words giving a brief intro.
This dark star-track background is what I imagine of shifting the 
narrowed spectrum to the dark side (again, if I use the wrong term, 
please think what I meant).

Thanks
