Here's my very first animated banner, I used Photoshop CS3. What do ya think?

This is my first banner and I made it animated. I know I need to learn more skills with Photoshop but all in all what do you think.

Please feel free to tell me what I should or should not have done.

Thanks in advance!

 

I think for your first effort you did a good job. I would hold back on the shadow a bit, just leave a little shadow. Also the font that changes moves down slightly with each word. Not a big deal. Good job.

 

Thanks so much, that's just the kind of help I was looking for!

Is there a way to make the animated text line up straight?

 

Great job!

 

nice work done man .. but u need to learn a lil more like the usage of fonts but overall nice effort keep it up
thanx
Shery !

 

"Is there a way to make the animated text line up straight? "

sure put it in the same place, lol

use guides or grids in the view tab to help you w/ placement - selecting/deselecting the layers as viewable in your layers pallete could help you line them up better

I agree a little heavy on the shadow effects but overall very well done for a first attempt- good job

 

good try.but make it more professional.

 

It 's ok for a newbie, I think you are overusing the shadow.
Best way to learn cool techniques is to go some commercial photo site and pick up some knowlege from the ground up.
I perssonaly think it is best to use flash cs3 for banner design, it gives you a wide range of possibilities.

 

Nice try man. You may search for some design tutorials, that'll make your designs more professional.

 

Take it easy with the Bevel and shadow, less is more
