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.



Thanks. _smile.gif

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?

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. shrug.gif Oh, and I wanted the ninja star to have that effect like it was thrown so yeah. :p

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

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

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.

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. thumbsup.gif
