Just something i made this afternoon. The icons were from tutorials from instantrock.com but then i decided to make banners that would match the icons, that i didnt get from a tutorial.











What do you think of them?
Should i add a border around them?

Maybe on the last one a light gray 1px border smae with the first but a darker color, but I think it looks good either way.

What font did you use for the name?

You did a pretty good job on these, Natalie. I like them a lot. Now I'm waiting for Nat and Kristina to see this topic. laugh.gif

I think Natalie used Kravitz Extra Terminal?

LOL. Of course I had to check this out!

Anyways, I loooooooooove them. I love the editing & the person you used. wink.gif Maybe you should add a thin border to the banners. But if you do to the first banner, try & re-crop it so that you don't block his eyes so much. But great job! I love it!


Oh James. throb.gif

This is completely random, but I don't know why your topic description says "unthumbed" if the images aren't nearly large enough to stretch the page. laugh.gif

They're all great, except I don't particularly like his face in the second av. It's too dark for me. sad.gif

I like them without borders. (:

I prefer the first set. I just like the black and white better. I think some more could be done to them but still they're really...hot. :]

Yeah i thought it was really dark too but i couldnt change the brightness really without having it look even odder or washed out.

No it was just one of the graphics that instantrock provided but she linked the deviantart users account which had them so i got the stamps or whatever and used them _smile.gif

I think they are all really well done. The only suggestion i have like a few others have said is maybe adding a 1px border to them. I think borders wrap everything up nicely. thumbsup.gif

I would add a border too them... things don't stand out to me unless they have borders :x.

edit//

actually, the first one is simply beautiful.. i love those gray colors.. they make me so happy. ANYWAYS..i wouldn't add a border to the first one.. it contrasts fine with the white of the page that i wouldn't even bother with a border.

The 2nd one, idk if i would add a border, but i would atleast add some sort of texture or something around it to make it stand out...

edit//

wow you're pretty ohmy.gif
