Guest MetalSonic700 Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 Yeah yeah new banners whatever... heres one using the lyrics from one of my favorite songs. Post and Ill post more, if you care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haze Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 huh. Well, those lyrics are nice. Rather abrubt. ^__^ I'm not certain they really go with the banner though. Nice cropping with the gundam. One of the problems I have with this is that effect. Maybe if you took it off of the gundam it would be good. It just makes the gundam look kind of bad. Also I'm not really liking that font. It is just too simple for my tastes. Nice job though. I hope to see more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MetalSonic700 Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 HAHAHAHAHAHA! Cropping? What cropping? it was already like that! Yeah, I did a pretty half *** job, and the lyrics were wrong. Oh well MORE HERE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest .h4ck Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 I really like the second one, the image you used of a gundam is nice, nice font would be nice, and not bold. Its kinda distracting. over all 9/10 ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MetalSonic700 Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 really? I thought they sucked. Heres a different style, little. PS: Im just stalling with the dumb ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Samedi Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Well, what is the point of this thread if you're 'stalling' with these banners which you plainly admit are crap? The font sucks, the pictures aren't that much better, they could all do with borders. You know these are crap? What is the purpose of this? The lyrics or whatever they are, are crap, some plainly offensive even. Basically they're all rubbish. One is tempted to wonder... can you make better banners than this?

Guest MetalSonic700 Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Yeesh, thats harsh. Well, um, heres a way better one. I made these like a month ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Samedi Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 OK. This banner itself isn't very good. I think you should have tried to crop the pictures, because they are just squares currently and don't really blend with each oither well. You should have a border on it... just a plain black one would do. The text... did you design this is Paint? Because the text is a classic Paint work. Try making text using a half-decent program that doesn't leave the white box around it. Even draw the text yourself. Anything to get away from the white boxes. The presentation of this is much better- you didn't go right out and say that you thought it was crap and stalling, so this is much more endearing to you. Anyhow... if these really are stalling, I shall look forward to seeing your newer ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MetalSonic700 Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Yeah, I solved the box problem. All I can AFFORD is pain. Im only 12. Heres another. This one was entered in the winter contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinetic Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 [size=1]This banner is much better than the others so far. The composition is well thought out, the colors are pleasing and it has great balance. You did pretty good on that for only working with paint.

Baron Samedi Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 lol. What OS are you running on? There are a few programs with XP I think that would be a bit better. Such as 'Picture It' or whatever. I know what you mean though... Get warez off your friends, or borrow CD's from school. Like I did >.> This isn't too bad. I think the text should have been lined up evenly though. Also, the 'Otaku[b]Boards[/b]' should be a different colour to stand out more. The green box lines could be changed as well. The colour doesn't complement the banner very well. Not too bad a piece though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinetic Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 [size=1]Actually, I agree fully with what Baron Samedi did. He critiqued, only harshly. Metalsonic was using a noobish excuse that [i]everyone[/i] has used at some point in time ("Oh, I'm not good, I shouldn't even post") and Baron shot him down. E D I T: Now I sound harsh lol. No offense to anyone, but I'm fed up with excuses in battles and such. [/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron Samedi Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Hah. Thanks for the lesson .h4ck. Here are a few choice quotes. [quote][i]Originally posted by MetalSonic700[/i] Yeah, I did a pretty half *** job, and the lyrics were wrong[/quote] [quote]really? I thought they sucked. Heres a different style, little. PS: Im just stalling with the dumb ones.[/quote] I feel I was fully justified. Now look at this. [quote]Yeesh, thats harsh. Well, um, heres a way better one. I made these like a month ago.[/quote] Despite the harsh bit, doesn't this introduction sound much better? More positive? I didn't see the point of this thread. He was posting banners he didn't like, and didn't care about. Now he is posting up banners which deserve criteria. A banner has little value unless the maker has put some effort into it, and feels that it is decent. Ok. Now to the banner. This one isn't too bad. I think the font could be a bit sharper, and it needs a border. The picture isn't too good quality, but paint will do that to you. All the time. lol. I like the background behind the picture, but I don't like the lines you put on it behind the text. Leave it plain, or do subtle tone difference with the lines, rather than so bold. Aside from that, not too bad. Each piece seems to be gradually getting better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinetic Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 [size=1]I couldn't have said it better myself. That's what I was trying to say, but I couldn't find the words. Nicely put. [/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MetalSonic700 Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Thank you *tears of joy! No wait, I just drank hot sauce. BURNS!* Heres another one... It would have been better if the pixel limit was 505 but I like it. It uses inverted colors and cut and paste tactics. I DID NOT TYPE THE WORD! It came w/ the background, I just cut it.

Baron Samedi Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 It might have looked better with the regular picture, but using paint and ending up with an odd picture like that... requires some expertise. Perhaps you could have made the word smaller? Resizing is possible with Paint, isn't it? I think so... Anyhow, a thin border would cap this off nicely. You could even have typed up the word smaller, in red, and put it in the bottom corner [i]over[/i] the bottom of the other word. That would have been good. Nice work.
