The opacity of the texture needs to be lowered. It is really distracting. And I like the version with the frame better (maybe even add a shadow to the frame), it just adds a little something so the picture isnt just a picture with nice coloring. The coloring is really nice though, at least from what I can tell.

Sorry. I'm just really picky. But I do love your graphics.

i completely disagree. i adore that texture. it really gives something to the banner and makes it stand out.
i loveee how the coloring just pops out at you too. the texture&coloring looks great together. could i possibly have that texture please? (:

i really like it ^_^

^I think it looks nice but the text should be less redundant.
maybe put like "comment to be added" there or whatever you like, since that may not even be your friending policy, but you get the idea, right?
you could probably keep the text looking similar like that even if you use different words, and then reading all of it won't feel like a waste of time.

i think the texture on his eyes and the shadow underneath his nose should of been erased, not fully but like at a 50% opacity or something?
i think it just takes the attention off his face too much and onto the texture.
other than that i LOVE it's simplicity.

i'm seriously rusty at making graphics.
as i've said in the avatar thread and other times, i haven't had my photoshop, i lost it when my computer crashed,
and i just downloaded Paint.NET not that long ago and it's really complicated to use,
but i think i'm getting the hang of it!
first banner-ish things i've made in a long time:

Image
version 2.
version 3.
version 4.
no text.

A different banner.

c/c? i know they're super simple, haha.
and sorry if the first one's a bit big D:

i haven't touched photoshop in months. so i decided to do a blend, which i was never really good at.
I know, the coloring sucks, but the colors of the original were really bad so I did my best..

I made this banner for a friend's story a while ago, and she didn't end up using it. But I thought it looked pretty cool, so I'm deciding to post it here. x]

What do you guys think? (My first attempt at muti-sized text and its placement around each other, if you get what I'm saying. xD)
