buttons for the navigation of our application

Our CDrom application will have 10 sections to navigate through so we will need buttons that contain the section name on them that the user can press and then be taken to the desired section, e.g. 'home' page will have a button that says home on.
Me and Chris split the job role of designing these 10 buttons between us so we are designing 5 each.
Here are my first two buttons






















We all agreed that the buttons are going to be done in a graffiti style and that the user must be able to clearly read the titles so that they know which button takes them where, we also agreed on a bright colour scheme.

To get the gradients of colour on these buttons i used the Gradient fill tool (on Photoshop) and made sure that the gradient went from a fill colour to transparency, this gave me the ability to add shadows and darker colours to the text.
