Majan's banners




Posted by maian

Ok, so it's about time I make a thread containing all my banners. A lot of my early ones aren't so great, so pay no attention to those. Anyhow, I'll try to put those at the bottom.

Personal banners (Photoshop)

My first Photoshop banner with an image.

Experimenting with brushes and transparency. A little too dark.

Yeah, first in Photoshop. I did the text in Paint Shop Pro.

And for the sake of not making another category for just one banner, here's my last Photoshop banner. Yeah, I got PS recently. Actually, it was a few months ago, but I never used it. :-*

Thar we go. I'm in Texas right now, so I can't use graphics programs. Expect better PS banners in the future.

Opinions?

Get a pixel font on the //moderator and maybe try experimenting with bevels on the maian text.

Other than that, great work. ^_^

It looks great. However, the border looks a bit crooked.

Reduce that bevel a little as its kinda ugly. The border is pretty good, though lots of the effects are obvious. As a general rule designers have, if you can name all the effects that went into the making of something, the designer didn't work too hard on it or used common tutorials. Not bad overall though.

New banners oll. They're OK. Two were for the VGC contest. Yes, I know they're all green.

I'm liking the new banner, good job. Text seems a little over to one side, though, that is my only gripe.

That Samus one is the best you've done so far, but I don't really like the font you used in the "maian" one... It looks a bit basic. =/
