    hello everyone,

    Can you rate my new header?

    It's Transparant, but view it in context on my website, here.

    The white on white is hard to read. Maybe another text color in bold.

    No I don't know, I usually just try out colors until one looks good.

    Change the color of the font.

    Remove the www. and the .com. Just use your website name for a header logo. (its simple and easy to remember)

    i agree remove the www. and .com and change colour. a background image wouldnt go amiss either but thats just my opinion without seeing the site its hard to say if it will look right :)

    keep it up :)

    Looks nice, how about doing some transparency of the background image? So that people will focus on the text and little on the background.

    I don't like the black stroke on the text + the characters are not well blended.

    Maybe darken the whole thing a bit to make the text stand out a little bit??

    I never used Photoshop, but Opacity will work fine. I think. Good luck ;)

    make the picture lighter so that the text will be highlighted.

    Hey,
    there are a few comments:-

    Firstly the cutting of images, images are not cutting properly.
    Secondly the bottom text. the color of bottom text is black but it is not clearly visible.

    Otherwise it is ok.

    Good keep it up.

    Cheers

    It's hard for me read the text "Sport VisionX" in header. But, I think it looks nice ;)

    do you use the pen tool to cut the images? thats the way to go :D.. the tutorial i used for it is here: photoshopessentials.com/basics/pen-tool-selections/

    Read it all, and follow along as you go.. then practice a bit. I'm not a pro yet, but i'm not bad.. and i think you would do a much better job with it, it looks like you just used a brush lol
