Sun Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 [SIZE=1][FONT=Verdana]Ok, Retribution and I have been planning this battle this week, and we finally got our submissions in. Here, we will post our banners and you guys will vote on the poll for which one you like. Please take the voting seriously. The rules to this GFX battle was anything goes, just no pre-made brushes used on the banner and no animation. And here is our banners.

Boo Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 [color=gray][size=1]Retri's: though it just looks like a pic with an effect and the text on it. The text by the way doesn't fit in the banner at all. The picture you used is good for a smaller banner or a bigger graphic but not somewhere between. But I like the colours. RS' banner: better imo. The text stands out way too much, blend it in more. And the RETRIBUTION looks terrible... The background with the picture are great though. [b]My Vote goes to Rising Sun[/b] [b]BTW:[/b] I like saying negative stuff about banners, which means the rest of the banner is fine as it is ^_~ [/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retribution Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 [SIZE=1]Heh. I came pretty weak on this one, I must admit. Well ... let's just say that I think I could've done better. Sorry bout not bringing my A-game. I tried though. And I like the effects in the center on yours. Pretty clever. It'll be a pleasure to battle with you, to see how the Studio reacts to it, too. Who knows? Maybe someday, there'll be more of these. And if people could give reasons for how they voted, that'd be awesome, thanks!

Guest Lidocaine Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 Ret: The text doesn't fit the image at all, and it looks like a wallpaper with a few layers and stock effects on top of each other... RS: Definitely good... but the problem with it is that it's entirely too complicated. When I first looked at it, I was like: pretty good. Then I moved on to try and see what was going on. I got the meaning you were trying to portray, but it's just too much going on. It's like a seizure. Considering Retribution's is easier on the eyes, easier to follow (despite the completely crappy typography), I'm gonna have to go with Ret.
