If you made updates however, then you must specify wich banner/version is the one you want to use as your final pick. The nomination and voting phases will both have their own threads wich will be created at a later date.

Sorry for the really long post (I had lots of catching up to do, 17+pages >.<)

I like the first one ^^ Quote:

I think it's rather childish >.< The fucky neon colors is sorta out of place in the banner. The font should blend in the image, not pop out instantly. I just simply like it. Not really too fancy, but enough to create a nice little atmosphere. Quote:

These aren't final yet and I was hoping for comments and suggestions before I finalized them.
The second and third ones are Kairin banners. Having been around for the other competitions, I'm surprised by the lack of Kairin banners this time.

The font is something you can play with, research a little to decide what gives a friendly feel. Make 4-6 exmaples, try different fonts, trust your instincts. I personally don't feel the need to see everyone's faces. There is something this banner did for me that I've not felt often and that was symbolise 'friendship' in one glance. I didn't need to know the anime it was from to figure out the characters relationships, i didn't need to know background info behind it the picture used, it's simple, minimalistic but speaks volumes. Play around with colour and font design a little more to enforce more of the 'warm, friendly feeling' for your banner, but your idea is solid. Quote:
I like it, doesn't matter what series it's from, the theme is clear and the characters are cute anyways. We could use 'mariko-chan' if we were to get really cheesy on old japanese family anime. The only quip I have with it is to change the font. Sparkly, long slanted fonts are fine for cutesy, dow-eyed lil anime girls or something, but you got the family just sitting and chilling there. Something homely and warm font wise (slightly thicker, clearer to read, shades of brown/beige perhaps?) would probably complement the scene better. (Unless you had your own ideas/reasons for choosing what you have font wise, then feel free to tell me)

Anyway, I'll try to see what else fonts would fit the scene.

2nd - cute! I love this render >.< Maybe fade the text a bit, make it more chalk-like? (that's just being really picky, I don't have any real beef with this one) 3rd - It's a little bland, in large part I think due to the colors. That's just my preference, I know a lot of people like the monotone look. Once again, the text seems kindof slapped on Quote:

The fate/stay night banner is pretty cool lots of fun effects I see, C4D and brush work, etc. all done well. I get a definite feeling of partnership in it. For my own works, I'm just posting these for criticism: Banner1 Banner2

Take 2 on Entry #3. Font changed to Brady and added a loaded ramen bowl. Reason? Inasmuch as the same way ramen is eaten as a daily family meal, perusing this forum is now also a habit for me, not to mention the fact that on a daily basis, titles come out like bowls of ramen ready to be sampled by a waiting audience. Update: See "final version" post. C&Cs are fine.

Thanks Aoie Emesai for taking the time to go through the topic and comment on each entry.
I increased the opacity of the images (as you suggested), added one image, and added sparkles to the image (will probably remove). I will wait a few more days for any other comments. If there are no more comments, then I will leave it the way it is. |

Was it family or friendship? (nevermind, I just read the first page, Kairin is an exception to the theme) Anywho, the brightness/colors of the texts makes it barely visible and hard to read. Although it's probably not the main focus of you sig, it's still an important factor to consider (i had to adjust my screen to read it). It's probably just me but you shouldn't separate the "Animesuki" and "Forums" with the image. The distance's too great that they are no longer connected as one. It's much easier for it to be read together. Nice background design though... Last edited by kayos; 2009-02-04 at 22:45. |
