@untitledstudios, the problem in this option: http://img520.imageshack.us/img520/7242/narutoanimetvsv0.jpg -is that the main character is naruto him self (with the yellow hair, and he should be placed up front, but i can't find any good image for that possition) -your option of this: http://img181.imageshack.us/img181/8122/narutoanimetvcopytl0.jpg is nice, but i would prefer to see other characters like on the previous option, unless i wont be able to find other good images. the lighting strike looks bad, and the font as well. also the possition of such image behind the site's name is bad. @TrendyGirL, that is not the style i'm looking for, but thanks for trying. @Creations4You, there is a problem of the font, and style of the name. also the colors are not attractive. there is also a problem of that specific image because it lakes in other characters i would like to see. @bizzard, the main character should be the boy with the yellow hair so it's not good. try better and combine the images in a better way. @xsabrina.chic, correct color use, attractive. however if you look at the main website you will see that top right space will be used for a small search box. it has a good creative used, it lakes on the images u used. also the site's name is looking bad, with bad font and small size. also since you used some creative then the design should be cleaned (like the small yellow spots on the right top corner) @Imba.Unknown, correct color use, u used 300 px hight, i think the max hight should be 250px. the image bg color effect are good. the image looks clean, the charecters are well set in the center of the image, and spread all over the image size. left site's name is no good and doesn't fit the image quality, try better when it comes to the site's name - it needs something attractive like the image is. @Untitled, image looks ok, it's too light, bad use of colors, mixup of many images, can't figure 'what's where'. multiple image characters used. bad font and bad variation of the site's name. for the private PM's i have answered your entries. expecting more entries and revisions based on my comments.
more colour drainage/highlights/shadows in the face parts added , height tamed to 250pixels , text changed . hope u like it previous one with cnged text , this looks better on ur webby in my opinion,the new one has too much flashy stuff which does not go with ur template cheers
here's another revision to go while i'm free! (coz i'm not giving this up so easily lol, even im not winning ) A B C
@thetop1, you tend to use lightning and flash effects that will flash my eyes, that is not a solution. just not the style i like, i would prefer clean image, realistic at the same time. @Imba.Unknown, you are the leader right now, however i'm a bit confused on the changes you made to some of the images, you said "previous one with cnged text , this looks better on ur webby in my opinion,the new one has too much flashy stuff which does not go with ur template" the changes between this http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u103/CoB666_2007/3-24.png and this http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u103/CoB666_2007/4-19.png is by the text box right? what changes you made to that:http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u103/CoB666_2007/5-8.png except some less shadows on the edges? the other two after, are good too, i would like to see some changes on the text, like outstanding it, and maybe removing the box it is in it. also i like the images without edge shadows. @creations4you, thanks but it's no good , thanks for trying i give the contest 24 hours from now for any new entries to come.
If you look at http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u103/CoB666_2007/5-8.png and http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u103/CoB666_2007/4-19.png properly , you will find that the second image has more contrast added to it , anyway , it does not matter much if it does not bother you , i will play around with the text and put up my entry sometime soon cheers
@Imba.Unknown, are you saying the one with more contrast looks better on my theme? such as: http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u103/CoB666_2007/4-19.png since the other one has more flash effects? also at some point on the sword, the colors are spread too much (black color) it gives the feeling of a broken sword @luvlee, you give too much light, try with less light. and without the .TV catched by the sword. i will take that into consideration.
working on my design right now... I'll submit it tonight or tomorrow morning some time so please keep this open till then. Thanks!
Dont bother about what i like or say , its your call . with revisions : the dark part of the sword is mended , and the font cnged
