Geist Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 [COLOR=blue] Well, I tried to make another banner and this is what I came up with. Tell me what you think about the placement, colors, etc. And don't worry about hurting my feelings, I've already put them to bed. Thanks everyone. [I]P.S. Please keep quiet, my feelings are sleeping.[/I] [/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarK DeatH Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 Average... I like it, but there could be more to the text... Like, some transparency, or make something else to it... Dunno why, but I don't really like just plain text on stuff... I most likely need to see transparency =P lol *edit* if you're using Photoshop, do a Ctrl + shift + L, or go to image, adjust, auto-levels on the character layer... that should do some help with making the colors more crisp and contrasting...

PiroMunkie Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 [size=1]Like Dark Death said, it is rather average, but I mean that in more of a complementive way. I also agree that that text is rather plain. I am not sure how I, myself, would have fixed it. I probably would have made the text black with a 2px stroke of white. The font could probably be better, but I cannot really think of one at the moment that would look better. As for the image of the person, I like how it is done except that I would have upped the contrast on it to make the orange a bit more vibrant against the blue. The person is already your focal, I would say, but I feel as though it should really grab your attention and then people would follow where his eyes are looking and see the text. Yup, I would probably slap a border of some kind on that puppy (not a [i]real[/i] puppy, a fake one... one that looks exactly like that banner) as well. Maybe even clip off some of the corners like the banner in my signature... I am done.[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Steiner Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 I like it but the font needs to be changed and it would look better if the font wasnt white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinkoru Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 Yeah diff color font and the edges of the char could be cut a bit better, And diff font style would look way better. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 [color=#808080]It's quite a basic banner, but you've definitely got some talent in you. ~_^ For example, your text is reasonably good quality - it's not too jagged, nor is it blurry. And the character is cut out quite well, too. The background is nice, but I think you need a bit more going on (not with the background, but with the foreground). Maybe a closeup of the guy's face and some more stylish text? Stylish both in terms of font and in terms of what you do with it. Sometimes it's good to have two lines of text just sitting like that. But sometimes you can play around with it and try out new positions/angles/etc... Anyway, it's a good start. Keep practicing and you'll be a great banner maker in no time. ^_^[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geist Posted May 14, 2003 Author Share Posted May 14, 2003 [COLOR=blue] Thank you everyone for pointing out the faults I couldn't see. (Except for the people who woke up my feelings. :bawl: Just kidding.) I'll keep trying to make banners, designing the backgrounds and cutting out the characters. (Those are some of my many weak points.) Thank you once again for your criticism and praise. [/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juu Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 [color=ff00cc] [size=1]*ish blinded with blue+black* x.x It looks nice, and I like those little cubes in the background. The character is cute, too. *runs into various objects*[/color] [/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EcCenTriC fairy Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 [size=1]Yeah, I'm not too fond of the blue. A different shade of red from the hair would be nice. [/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geist Posted May 16, 2003 Author Share Posted May 16, 2003 [COLOR=blue] Thanks for the advice everyone, you were right about the blue. I changed the color, and I like it a lot better this way. I also put the character on the left and changed the text. So...is it better now? Here's the [URL=http://www.dodstudios.net/uploads/uploads/dai-banner.gif]original[/URL] so you can compare the two.

Sara Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 [size=1]Personally, I don't mind the blue...I just think a lighter background would work better with the picture.[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 [size=1][font=alfa][color=gray] Yeah. It definitely would be better with a lighter background. Lighter blue. Other than that, it's actually not too bad.[/size][/font][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geist Posted May 21, 2003 Author Share Posted May 21, 2003 [COLOR=blue] Thank you everyone, here's the end result. I'm going to fix the text but I like the lighter blue background also. Thanks for the help everyone. :D [/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
