Thread: Test Banners

I've been testing out my banner-making skills. I'm not great, and these are defiantly not better than the other works I've seen here, but I was hoping to get some critique about them.

Random Party:

Ghost Fun:

Please tell me what you guys think of them, as well as anything I can do to improve.

I know little about banners, but they look kinda pro :O

I'm glad you think so! But you should have a look at the shops around here, they are much better!

Yeah, I've seen a good few banners in my time. Still look good ^^;

Ghost Fun is definitely a unique banner! I like it! You won't believe me, but it's not as far behind from the other banner makers as you think it is!

Like, if you offered to make banners in the style of Random Party for people, I'm sure plenty would request (Not saying you have to make a shop)

Don't give up! :P

Thank you both for the encouragement. If these are well received I might just open a simple banner shop for simple banners, so here goes:

Pikachu's Nightmare Surprise:

Monkey Party:

Magikarp's Annual Meeting:

So, what do you guys think?

I can tell that the noise used in the Ghost Fun banner was generated using some sort of noise filter. It looks a little rough and blocky, which is probably not the feel you want when creating noise.

Try blurring that out a little to get the effect you want.

This was kind of the effect I wanted. :P And it was actually a Night Vision effect mixed with many other effects. I wanted to give it the "can only be seen through cameras" look.

I for one thought that the ghost banner achieved the effect brilliantly.

Thank you for the compliment! I'm glad to see that you've liked it. :D

Ooh! This might come off as weird, but do you mind if I use your Magikarp banner? I'm a big fan (see my name)

:)

Sure! I'm flattered actually! Luckily for you, I made all of these using the Signature Banner limit (575x160). Enjoy the banner! :D
