Can we see a modified version of the first image in 277 x 70? Also, perhaps with a more appealing font, one that actually looks like it's part of the image.
Sorry we weren't able to leave these sooner, connection yesterday slowed to a crawl and the images wouldn't load so we couldn't see them at all (due to recent earthquake in Japan, internet cables were affected). But anyway, looks like the issue's been resolved, & we're here to give everyone their feedback. witcher: http://i30.tinypic.com/352notu.jpg Sorry, this just isn't going the direction we wanted it to go. There's just no design on the font except for the drop shadow which just makes it dirty, and it's very hard to distinguish the text from the background image. The image is a cool-looking vectory design, while the font is nothing like it. It makes it look very amateurish and we're sorry but we don't like it. tajio: http://a.imagehost.org/0667/mp3codes4.jpg | http://a.imagehost.org/0115/Mp3codes5.jpg We like these, the text is very clear and distinguishable. It looks very tidy and I like the text colors and the font design. However, I'm not too keen on the background image. Even though I like the background used (it's cool with awesome colors), it just doesn't look like a banner, it simply looks like a cropped image. We're after something that not only looks like a banner, but is also very engaging to the eyes. Perhaps if there was something more than just the guy in the image (this one is just "too clean"), maybe we will like it more. oliv3r: http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/9365/mp3codesss.png I like this new font design! But I don't like how "Free MP3 downloads" doesn't look very clear. It looks blurry, we want something clearer and neater. But we like the new font design, especially for "MP3-Codes.com" slovenc: http://www.filteredfun.com/mp3.bmp LOL, since this is your first post, I'm gonna go easy on you. This looks like it was done with MS Paint, we're after something more professional-looking. Feizar: http://i32.tinypic.com/29lh6pz.png We don't really like anything about this one at all. The font is wrong, the colors are dirty-ish, and the whole banner just doesn't look like something we'd be proud to use, at all. We will. There's still a day and a half left. Ok, looking forward to seeing your revised entry.
It's good that you added further design to the font, but it still doesn't look good to me. I don't like the italics, they look ugly with the fonts you used. I also don't like how the colors of the text almost blends to the background & is hardly distinguishable. We want something "obvious", the text should be easily distinguished from the background, perhaps something with lighter strokes / border. And I also don't like the gradient used for the text design, it kind of makes me wanna puke when I look at it.
Here is the link, a new more clear text: img134.imageshack.us/img134/6374/mp3codestxt2.png img38.imageshack.us/img38/3071/mp3codestxt0.png And another font colour : img38.imageshack.us/img38/1516/mp3codestxt01.png Or a serious font:..link: img9.imageshack.us/img9/6226/mp3codestxt.png
We can no longer offer so much feedback as this is ending later today, but we still will provide tips on how we think your designs can be improved, and if you can still submit revisions before the deadline, then that would be great. We like your previous design from here, just not these new ones. We like "MP3-Codes.com", but the bottom text doesn't look that good to us. We love this one. Can you show us how this would look in 277 x 70? The only thing we don't like about this is the girl, we don't like to use real pictures, instead we want to see illustrations / vectors / graphic art. If you could replace her somehow? Maybe with a real cool-looking colorful guitar (not a real guitar picture though), or headphones, or something hip hop and really creative and colorful, something youthful and fun, something "loud" or "bold"? This really looks good to me to be honest, if you could just replace the girl and show us a 277 x 70 version of this? We hope you could provide a revised entry, because we really like this one except for the girl. Sorry, we don't like it & we have no tips on how to improve that design. This does look better, you have listened to my requests and have incorporated it into your design. However, the text color (green) is very light, and there's no contrast between its outline (white). There should be some contrast somehow, and we'd like to see the font color in a darker shade. This is already starting to look nice though, keep up the improvements. We will end this later today, so get your final entries in. Current favorite designs are oliv3r and yugo, and witcher is catching up. We also really like tajio's design and colors, but hoping to see an improved version based on our previous feedback.
