Ninja Sharpness, ehh..tried out a new idea for site banner. Options

[Mikeplyts]

Well, I was previous thinking about making a new site layout and I tried out an idea for a site banner but I think I didn't do too hot. Some C&C would be appreciated.

try some new colors!
i like your stuff, but it's starting to get boring with the same colors.

haha, yeah, I've had some others ideas in mind so I'll try making those later. Thanks.

Also, what do you think of the concept though? Or the main design?

[schizo]

The concept is good, especially because it's a little different from your usual. I'm not too sure about the execution, though. The strings on the sword are a little rough, and the blurry ninja star is distracting.

Thanks. Yeah, that's what I caught but while I was designing it it was too late to go back. Oh, and I wanted the ninja star to have that effect like it was thrown so yeah. :p

haha, thanks. It's called a ninja star, which Gabi already pointed out.

ya good idea . . but like the other people said fix up the strings on the sword as wel as the blurry star . . . maybe animate it so it looks like it fly's in instead of trying to blur it ? . . imageready its a wonderful thing lol


Good idea though

I agree. I hate to say the same critique over and over again, but you fail to listen over and over again

Mike, what program do you use again?

Well, sometimes it varies. Sometimes I use PSP XI or PS CS4 but I use PS CS4 more.

[none345678]

Ah, I just didn't know if you were using gimp or not.

Any way things that need improving are the colors, the rope looks all jacked, the potion of the "warning:" saying should be moved maybe right above the title, every thing seems to have a weird blurry drop shadow, and the scratches/cracks on the sword are off it a little.

You really have to listen to other people critiques a little better, every things you make looks the same. The colors are the same, you always over use gradients, fonts are the same. People aren't going to want to give you advice if you don't show your using it.

^ agree

make the stars more shiny.

Dang people already said what I was going to say lol.

This.

The strings on the sword are a little rough, and the blurry ninja star is distracting.

Yeah the strings' edges are choppy. And the blurry ninja star is a bit distracting. It looks weird, tbh. You should animate it, imo. It'd look a lot cooler.


Nice idea though.

[emberfly]

^indeed.

I liked the paper+pencil way more. stick with that one
