Syn Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 Colors aren't bad but you seem to have a thing for trying to make your borders look all funky. The border ruins it in my mind. Straight forward borders look a lot nicer in my mind, of course that might just be me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juna Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 I agree with Kaisuke with the border bit, it's a bit on the large side and just looks a bit chunky... also the text is set kiinda weird, I guess I would try nudging it more up to the upper left hand side. shrug... I like the picture that you used, and for your first attempts at banner work, as I said before, GREAT work... ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaola Su Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 WOW! You are an excellent banner maker! I like the 1st Naru banner a lot better, I kind of like the bigger border on it for some reason! So I will give the 1st Naru one a [b]10/10[/b] and the 2nd one an[b]8/10[/b] and the majin buu ones are good also! I like them too, but I am not a big fan of him, but since htey are simple and clean they all get a [b]10/10[/b]! Love, Kaola Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epsilon Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 Those would be great with animation. They'd fit together wanderfully. ^^ I really like them. There great. Here's my rate, 10/10. Your really great at this, keep up the good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomad Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 [FONT=arial][size=3][COLOR=darkblue]Here ya go as requested. Hopefully the animation is okay with you. And your other banners are great. Although they all seem really simple, but made to look good. I don't give ratings of numbers so.... yeah. Anyway you have done really really good with these banners.[/COLOR][/size][/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epitome Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 [QUOTE] [b]If you dont have anything nice to say dont say anything![/b] [/QUOTE] You need critiscm in order to get better at making banners. Now that said, about your banners. Okay, the first one is okay but I dont like the background on it. I dont think it goes too well with the picture. Also, I dont like how you just reversed the same picture and put it more transparent on the other side. Try finding a more variety of pictures for that anime, game, etc. The second one, is okay, and I dont like it that much either. The first thing that I dont like about it is that you made that huge white spot just for the text. try filling it with something so that it doesnt look so plain. Also, I dont think the text fits right in with the banner, but it is the same as the first one. So the first two are okay. The final ones I like. The are plain but not too plain, and I like how you put the describing words with each form of Buu. Also I like how you made the lines with like a pattern to make it look cool. And finally, I like the pics that you used for them, and if that was animated, that would look pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Posted July 23, 2003 Author Share Posted July 23, 2003 Ok I took all your opinions, And this is what I came up with.. Since I dont have any cool text (Just the crap that came with the comp) I didnt put anything writting on it.. I need to learn where to download cool fonts. Ohhh well here it is [IMG]http://trapped_rogue.250free.com/narubanner4.jpg[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epsilon Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 Cool banner! I like it, and it's great what you did for the back round. I love it how, it looks like she infrount of the banner. It'd be better with some text though. Great job! 9.9/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkadyz Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 [color=orangered][font=times new roman]Sweet banners stuart...Now lets get to ratings I suppose... [b]First Naru[/b]...8/10...The border is abit too thick and the naru pic in the forefront is abit fuzzy...But the background looks great... [b]Second Naru[/b]...9/10...I really like this one...The pic looks more crisp and the little cutoff thing with name is nice... [b]The majin buu[/b]...w/o the animation is ok looking...WITH nomads animation it looks awesome...id have to give it a 10/10 And lastly the [b]love hina one[/b]...9/10...I lovethe effect on the bottom half...And that cool tiled effect on the top half...Only problem is the lack of text... So inshort amazing banner...Get yourself some good text and you'll be cranking out 10/10 banners im sure :D [/color][/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKC Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 OOoooo there very great, I agree with the borders being wierd, but my banners and Avis. used to have the worst borders of all time >_< Great job Stuart! You should post your others aswell. ^^ Rating: 9/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Posted July 24, 2003 Author Share Posted July 24, 2003 Ok.. I would have put text on this one, But 1 I didnt have much room and 2 and have no cool fonts. I downloaded some but I dont know how to get them onto PSP. :( Ohhh well here ya go :) [IMG]http://trapped_rogue.250free.com/subarubanner.jpg[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epitome Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 Its really blurry, and you cant see too much. Oh and by the way, to get the fonts into the fonts file, you need to unzip them, open the file, find the little file thing that shows the font and then put into the fonts folder in the Control Panel.

Kaola Su Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 Wow, your Subaru banner is very unique! I really like it! The pictures you chose of her is good also! I also like the new Love Hina one a lot, honestly they both get a [b]9/10[/b] just b/c I don't like them the best of your work! Love, Kaola Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Posted July 24, 2003 Author Share Posted July 24, 2003 Ok this one, Well this one just dont ask where it came from [IMG]http://trapped_rogue.250free.com/Ghost.jpg[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epitome Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 This one is cool in my opinion. The only thing is, I dont know who that girl is in the background, but I love Starcraft, so its only obvious that I should like this banner. And I also like the blue surrounding the lettering, did you do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Posted July 24, 2003 Author Share Posted July 24, 2003 The girl is a ghost, and No I didnt do the wording, I wish though :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Java Mask Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 Whoa, Stuart, nice job man! You're improving much faster than I imagined you would. Anyhow, the first Naru banner was really well done. You chose a nice background color but Naru was a bit fuzzy though, and the text a bit too dark. While some would think the boarder a bit too thick, I didn't find it all that distracting. In fact I hardly noticed there was a border at all. I guess my eyes were really attracted to that pic of Naru. :D I'm not really keen on that second Naru though. There is too much empty space used for the text, I think. Despite being rather plain, the Majin Buu animation really fits together nicely. Overall, a well rounded effort. The next Love Hina based banner is all over the place, and in a bad way. The cutout of Naru is nicely done and the drop shadow really makes her stand out, but the background is too much of a jumble. Perhaps it would work better for me if the whole background where done with that same pattern... Finally, that Subaru banner is jaw dropping! Excellent use of shapes and that thin border is perfect. However, the left picture of Subaru is a little too fuzzy. I suggest making a selection of just her, feathering it a bit, and then apply the sharpen filter, or unsharpen mask to seperate her from the background. Fantastic work, I don't think that banner even needs text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naru Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 I love all the other ones but theres something missing in the last 1...i think its kind of plain..maybe you can add effects or some thing... Second Naru-9.5/10 The majin buu-10/10, with animation i give it 11/10 lol love hina-10/10 (its so beautiful! lol) subaru-9.5/10- i really like this one. its very original, but its missing text! starcraft-9/10-i like this one, but theres something about it...maybe I'm just insane(more insane) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
