I just finished on a class assignment to make a splash page for a mock website.  I'd like to know if you have any critiques!  Thanks!

I used masking for the background, stock capital photo, and free logos from the respective website.  In my pursuit for the mastery of the pen-tool, the C and D are made with the pen tool.  I found the best way to use the pen tool is to activate the grid in photoshop.  That also helped me with the typography.
