I'm glad you like them still!! Johnny's Fan wrote: Very nice work. You've got an eye for what images work well together and your blending is very good.
I would say try and experiment a little more with the text. Less is more sometimes. Try using fonts that suit the image more, and perhaps use the overlay or soft mode. Or in some cases pale colours with a dark border really help to make text stand out if the image is light coloured.
I tend to use textures simply for the colour. The more extravagent ones I tend to stay away from, or if I find one that works for half of my banner, I delete the other half, and copy the bit that works, mirror it, match it up, and hope it suits the rest of my image. If not, try again with another texture until you find one that works for all the image. Try not the allow the texture to rule the image, you still need to see what's underneath. Sharpening your image can really help if your texture is a bit much.
Thanks you so much, JF (really, I admire your work so much). I've always had a little bit of troubles with text--especially recently since I'm working off of a different computer and there's only about 20 different fonts! So I'm trying to use DaFont to compensate, but it's hard  And thank you for the texture advice! I'll try to keep it in all in mind for my next batch!

All of your work looks fantastic, but the only thing I wanted to tell you about is your borders... see, sometimes bigger borders can make the image feel too boxed in.. perhaps you could try using borders that aren't as big. Like this banner looks really great ::
Quote: 
[they're some of the most wonderful things in the graphic world]. Simple, clean lines are always the best... it may not seem like it, but simple is always better (again, referring to that previously mentioned Arwen/Elves banner) and you don't need to make banners look over the top to make them look good.
I hope this was helpful; constructive critism is always good to hear and I hope you're not offended by anything I wrote... I'm not trying to make you mad, just help you out when it comes to graphic arts. It's taken me about two years to perfect my style, and it's still not the best. So it all depends on the person and what kind of skills they have. Just don't get frustrated if things don't work out right away - you'll improve each time and learn a lot of new things; especially if you look up some tutorials on google - they can be very helpful.

All of this is great--and don't worry, I'm not offended!! Constructive criticism is probably the only way I expand my knowledge. I have been working on smaller boarders, as well as the way I use textures (thanks to JF of course).
My biggest problem is that I USED to have a style, which was very texture heavy, lots of brushes, and, well, more "angsty" looking. And then, one day it was gone. so I'm just trying to find myself again...
But thank you so much. I should get some more up soon, then maybe you can see some of my fresher stuff. _________________
