A little tip look in the bottom corners, see if you can make it out


:chaz:

 

Its a little to big for your sig though It must be 525 in width and 5 inches in heigth (or something)

 

Your sig stretches the forums. Please re-size it and then it will be fine.

 

Actully i ended up posting the wrong one, that was my headstrong one i think this one might be allright i speant a while resizing it

If's its to big ill resize it again

 

Yeah, you need to resize it again. It's still too big.

 

it is under 525 in width i think so it should fit

 

I've made a better version of a trapt banner

 

No double posting. And the sig looks, a little...off. Like the cutting looks like Faded made your sig.

 

Nah i did make the banner myself. Honest.

I usally use PSDS for my pics but it wouldnt really look right, so i tried cutting it myself

 

First, I will apologise if I'm saying too much.

You need to learn how to blend the pic with the background because the edges are too obvious; unless that's how you intended it to be. You can use the lasso tool or the eraser for this. Another thing is the color coordination : the red bg, b/w pic and blue font seriously don't marry.


Make more banners more often and I'm sure you'll do great

 

big fucking owned

 

meh i used the lasso tool but im not great at doing it, and i just put two colours together in a rush because it kept crashing out on me

Just roughly lasso around the pic you want to blend, apply the feather (7px - 10px is fine).

 

Honestly? It looks bad. It doesn't blend at all, and the colors don't match.

Work with photoshop more and you'll get the hang of it and be able to make some kick ass banners.

 

yeah well iwas using some preety basic equipment.
im downloading pain shop pro 8 to makje some better banners

 

Hmm... is this stuff new to you? If it is I think you're doing a very good job as a beginner. I'm sure you'll get much better in time. I do agree with the others though... on the blue text part. Anyway, what you're doing is creative and artistic... I wish I could be like that. For me, I'll just stick with the simple stuff... but you, keep doing what you're doing. Nice work.

 

yeah i am quite new to it, ive cut small things out but ive only just started making banners.
I chose the blue text because i wanted the contrast for it to stand out more, but i think i overdid it a bit
