Again I had to change the 3D transition and as you don't provide the source of your 3D animations I made an animation over it, using blending modes to change the eye colors to a CMYK pattern.

On this project I managed to keep the pixel fonts, I like them, my clients are the ones that complain they are too small.

I've changed the background image and logo + the top menu background, got rid of the search field, added icons to the left menu and flyout submenu like a tooltip, changed the javascript slider for a different one, added php poll and added a CMS to the news in the middle of the site.

One of the biggest things I did was to change the overall color scheme. I liked the original green but it didn't fit the feel of the clients logo and products. I created a header across the top using the clients logo and name. That caused me to shift the navigation down a bit and create buttons for it based off of another layer from the template. I also extended the rounded rectangle background all the way down and changed the background color slightly to show it off a bit more.

Then I changed out the main content area towards the top of the page with information relevant to the clients products. Beyond that, I kept a lot of the original template design. I loved the product packaging images and based the clients product designs very closely on that!

I went on to create a few additional custom pages but they were all based on the original layout/design. I really like all of the little details included in each Template Monster design. I used a lot of those little pieces in different ways throughout the website. Thanks for a great product!
