Not bad. I like the way there are scratches making it seem like the oldies.

Although, the background is disturbing IMO. The film strips are just bleh, and completely over-used. Yeah, Marilyn Monroe was in films but somehow, the filmstrips that are portrayed doesn't seem nicely done. There are other ways to make it look creative and eye-catchy without the spam of film strip brushes.

I agree with you, Sang. The editting itself is nicely done, but the background just looks like one brush that was used a lot.

I like it. I like the idea of the lipstick as a pop of color but I would have chosen red, this is Marilyn Monroe after all. wink.gif

Normally, I'd agree about the excessive use of filmstrips but I think it works here considering the theme.

Definitely a border :)

I really don't think the filmstrip brushes are too bad. They tend to get overused a lot but it just fits with the whole banner. I really like it :)

Thanks everyone for your wonderful feedback

:D
And I do see the whole film strip thing could get distracting, but it was something kind of last second. I didn't want the background to be just plain-jane so I grabbed that brush and went to town.

hahaha

i like the coloring and i think the film strip brushes work here, considering the theme. i just think you could've had more of a variety of brushes in there.

but if you have the time to edit, experiment with floral or grungy brushes. see what results you get.
