Banner help, I need some ideas Options

[xosteffanator]

Okay so, I'm kinda good at making blends and stuff, but I can never seem to find a good design when I make banners, I always end up with the same boring thing, so maybe you could show me like an example of your favorite banner, or a design you would like to see on a banner. I've checked in the layuots section but most of the banners are very unique and I'm not sure if I can be that creative. So if you could help me that would be great!!!

You want a blend or a banner?

That's both, so.... -nod, nod- Yes, it's mine. Something like that is cool. Seriously though, just start piling things onto it. I love to just let loose and over-effect! =3 Add patterns, add overlayed text... Add semi-opaque text! Add textures, brushes, doodles, gradients... Anything. Go enter some add-effects challenges and that helps you think what to add. For baners, use brushes. And cut up the images you use into interesting shapes.
