Apple is supposed to be very clean. I would get rid of all of the feathers (that's what a call when one color blends into the other) Also please get rid of the shadows or glows behind apple care and everything else.

My only thought is to move the "Apple Care" box in some, it stands out there alone maybe nearer the CPU.

It looks nice, but busy. What's being sold here the products or the protection plan? I would say remove all the blue, focus on the protection plan logo as the largest element and go down from there as far as hierarchy.

Photoshop-errific.
I agree with the above comments, get rid of everything that doesn't absolutely have to be there, then see what happens.
A successful book is not made of what is in it, but what is left out of it.

Mbennett had a great suggestion. It's not what you have in it, it's what you leave out of it that will make this spread work. I'd also try moving the monitor and tower combo to the bottom right hand corner and reflowing the text to suit. Overall, nice beginning.
Cheers.

Try the AppleCare box in a huge field of nothing. Then the contact info very simple and elegant at the bottom of the page. Consider a big square format instead of the usual long and skinny poster thing. "Think different" y'know.

Wow!!!...This place is really cool. This was the first piece of work I uploaded and the response has been terrific! Thanks guys for taking out the time to have a look and respond. The feedback above has been very constructive and positive. I really look forward to more comments.
Well, my client had similar comments and I already am completing the next version. Got rid of all the blue. Product sizes have been reduced to give more prominence to "AppleCare Protection Plan" and a few small fixes overall.
Its going to be more "Apple-ish" this time.
Thanks again for all the feedback and I should be uploading the next version soon.
Cheers,
Abbas.
I think that's an excellent suggestion about the typefaces.
