Yiuel Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 Here is what I have yet about my website, two banners, one about Sakamoto Maaya, a Japanese voice actor and signer, and the other one is the Island of Melville. I'm slowly building my site...How are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argalius Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 Hmm I don't know but I don't really like them. Maybe too much text. Also I don't really like the colours you chose for the second banner, purple and green isn't my favourite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorian Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 I agree entirely with Args points, I'd also like to add that I don't really like the emptiness behind the main text on the first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yiuel Posted January 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 Here are new versions.For the first banner, I have reduced the opacity of the 14 names, and I have modified the text. I also added a small heptacle of green and blue, behind the main name. For the second one, I hesitated between blue and green. I truly prefered the blue, but I wasn't sure, because then, most of my subsites will be blue-colored. Oh well, it's just better. I also added a few details. And the text is also less opaque, so it's not as annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorian Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 Still not too fond of the 1st, but the 2nd is much better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenratiophi Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 The first one looks better IMHO, but it could use a different font on the left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaas Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 (edited) First one:Problem here is that you're trying to put too much in one picture. Either you have a much larger banner or you get rid of things that aren't so important.There also isn't a good balance aside from the left title and the right logo. It feels as if there's no real background but simply some pictures put atop eachother. So either you should make the foreground images stand out a lot more and make the background more monotone.The background is also composed of three areas which makes it seems as if there are three different backgrounds instead of one. You should make it blend much more into eachother.I'm also not a fan of the font you're using, looks a bit plain imho.For the second one the same comments apply though your background blends a lot more.You do have a color problem there though, the purple, blue and white should be enough, so maybe you should replace the yellow by white or something.Such a background is also not so suitable for such a small images. The three right images are a bit too much, maybe use one or two but three makes it all too full. If you get rid of the last two I'm sure it'll look much better.Good job though, just remember the saying "less is more" and a quote from Antoine de Saint-Exupery: "You know you've achieved perfection in design, not when you have nothing more to add, but when you have nothing more to take away." It's also a good idea trying to look from a different perspective at your images, eg. look at them as a composition of colors and shapes and make sure that composition makes sense and that it's balanced enough.

Yiuel Posted January 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 With Klaas's comments, I changed them a little bit. I tried also a few others. The second one (Manga-Anime) is a little bit charged, but I took a chance on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorian Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 2nd one is too crowded, for the others there is still the problem of there being not definite background Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
