Here is a Lady Gaga banner I made. Im drawing a blank on what to add to it next. I wanted a sparkle texture but I cant find one anywhere. Every texture I added made the colors change and I really like the colors that it has in it already.

So, C&C would be nice.

Thanks biggrin.gif

I'm on the fence with the blending. I dk. I think you should use the same images because you have two different photo shoots and the two images on the right are brighter than the ones on the left, you know?

You haven't found any good sparkle textures? Did you try googling it? This one's really pretty.

I think the darker pictures look better, the other two are too bright. Clashes with the darkness lol.

I agree. I don't like the lighter pics at all.

Like with your other banner, I like one side (the left) much better than the other. The right side really clashes with the left.

There is no balance between the brightness and contrast! That is the MAJOR thing that erks me. Yes, it is kind of plain but it's a beginning. Tone down the right side. Try some darker gray/blue/moss green color layers set to multiply at a semi low opacity and maybe it'll even it out a bit.

With the second one, that picture that is on the right either needs to be tweaked more or 86ed completely. It looks like her arm is coming out of her head. I, though, really like the coloring on the second one, though :]

What method are you using of cutting out your images, you should try the pen tool, it will give you a really smooth edge

Are you still planning on using sparkle textures?

Hm. I'm trying really hard to find words for what I think of this.
I really like it, and I think it would make a nice layout if you made a few adjustments.
I think the part that you changed looks too different. They sort of look like two totally different graphics.

Maybe if you put some Uh. I'm gonna come back. I can't seem to find the words for anything, right now. :/

^I agree. It looks like just two images slapped together. Blend it like you did in your second edit, but keep the arm solid like you did in the newest one.
