I was playing around with some textures today and came up with this. Very simple, and not even close to being done. I'm not sure I like the text, but I don't know. Oh and there is reason why the text says what it does, but I'm not quite ready to unveil that to you guys yet
 Where I'm at now: What are you thoughts on it? What else should I add? |

It looks pretty nice! The only thing you should really edit is the text color because it's pretty hard to read at first. Otherwise, good job.

I was worried about the text. I can read it because I already know what it says, but I can never tell if other people can read it as well as I can. hahah. Thanks for the input :)

I think it's very pretty! I love vintage looks and victorian backgrounds. Will be perfect with a darker font.

Thanks guys!
So I've decided to use this as a header for a blog I've been planning on making. The only problem is, what do I do about the the background? I can't think of anything that would go well with this. Any suggestions? I think I might soften the edges on this and have it sort of fade into the background. Is that a bad idea? |

The text is still hard to read. Try something like #acadac. Also, try downsizing that stroke on the bottom text to about 2 pixels.

Alright, I changed the color again and changed the outline to 2 pixels. I have to admit, that looks wayyyy better. Thank you :)

Yeah make the stroke thinner. I like your third version but the arc looks weird.

The text color is still too light and I don't like the font either.

I love that photoshoot. I was planning on making some from it, I just never got around to it...
Anyway, I think it looks pretty good. I think the font could use a little more oomph, though. Maybe just a little bit of shadow? Also, I think her skin could use some minor retouching. It's sorta rough. |
