Thank you so much! Well, I don't see no problems on this (Is this phrase 
correct? :/). Since my work is "libre", it can be changed by everyone to 
better fit into marketing purposes. :)

I understand the point of your supervisor. And he's right; the 
Vignetting Effect was an [undesirable] effect in photography and even 
today is used with much caution by most photographers. It's easy overdo 
its usage. Although, I personaly love this effect - so I probably 
overdone on it. :-[ . I'll try to reduce it a little bit to make it less 
perceptive and more natural. Thank you for this thinking!

Waiting for your comments on my 3D stuff. :P But just do it if you'll 
have time, of course. By the way, a little note: today I had sucess to 
convert the LOO logo to blender curves... :) A footnote after that: If 
you think the Impress bugs are bad, you should see Blender bugs... :O
