I think the text on the lj one could be placed better and the opacity lowered. It's a bit distracting the way the words are so spread apart and how much the white pops.
I like the one with the light brush better, though the opacity could also be lowered just a tad on that also.
The blending and coloring is gorgeous though! And the second one is beautiful.

Thank you! (:
I agree with a lot of what you said, especially the light texture opacity on the second version. I think I'll lower it to 45-50%.

^ I think it's a bit too contrasted. The black margin on the right is also far too large. Maybe you could change the colors of the text so it flows better and so the colors aren't so primary? The two fonts don't really match, either. Sorry, that's a lot of negativity. xD But it's a good start!

These are both olllld but I don't think I ever posted them

this is the first banner that i've made, so crit would be nice.
it was actually for a bebo skin originally, but it ended up being too big.

^ your blending and colouring is really good.
but i think the texture is too heavy.
i also don't think the fonts look good together,
i'm not a fan of how they overlap.

schmetallica.: They're both great. I think the first one could be a bit brighter personally. I really love the second one, the blur motion effect is really cool.

hey monday.: Gerard himself is too yellow and I don't like the text. The blue clashes with the background. Blend is nice, though. :]

Preacher banner I made last week from this cover.

I like it except for the unfocused parts around Candice's chest and on the upper right. The picture came like that I don't know how to get it un-blurred. D;
Help, please? Or c/c?

Whatever program you use will probably have a blur/sharpen tool. You could sharpen those parts with a brush. I know the GIMP has one.

Thank you. I use a program that has a sharpening/blurring tool, but it only works for the whole picture and doesn't allow me to use a brush. :\ I...the only other thing I can think of is to try and download a free program like photofiltre and try to touch it up that way?
