Suggestions for my banner

I think I changed my header like 5 times in the last month and a half. Here is my work in progress, I spent a little bit more time on it than before. This would be for the site in my sig. Any suggestions are welcome feel free to critique it. http://mywebpage.netscape.com/bda6707/testbanner.jpg I opted for a link because it blends in with this background color.

 

Hey

The Banner looks good to me but as you said you have re-modified it again and again and are still stuck with it, gets me confused.

The area where you have written "Not Sure What To Put Here" is ambiguous..kindly elaborate a little bit pls..


Thanks

 

its nice one , but dont you think it looks a lil buzy/crowded ?

 

It was just late at night so I couldn't think of what I wanted to go there yet. I just put some filler text in there.

 

your choice of pastel colours is nice, your composition is lacking and the images - hamster next to a cat! (or silhouette of one), clown fish next to an albino python! I'm alarmed, logo too large, text to thin. What is the objective of the tubular panels?

I think you need to re-arrange a few things here and perhaps think about the placement and relationship. Concentrate on the text some more and the images of animals rather than the placeholder.

 

It does seem that way, I added more negative space to it. Maybe I will put up version 2 tonight when I can work on it a little more.

Thanks for your input. I think I might try to do a silhouette type thing with a few of the more common pets, with vectors. This would eliminate the photos all together.

I like the pale pastel colors you've used, very inviting For the photographs that are blended on the right, I don't think it works well with the banner's color scheme because it's too harsh (dark), what I would do is tone down the color (make it lighter)

 

I think it looks good except for where it has the "Pg", those colors and fonts do not quite match the rest of the banner.

 

that's a nice banner actually, i like it. nice banner if you are targetting per growth.

 

Here's are a couple other versions heres one and the other

 

The banner looks nice and neat, but one problem I am seeing is your text is too stiff/hard. Make it smoother and maybe a bolder/bigger font with some effects such as a gradient or satin effect

Mark

 

They all have some nice features, maybe you should do a compilation from the three.

 

Well what i think is that your banner is lacking BORDERS. Your choice of Fonts in the subheading "From claws to paws..." is defecting from the GOTHIC STYLE heading, work on that please.

I would prefer "/nbanner2.jpg" as it has some uniformity regarding color schemes. The animal pics are some how relating to the over all color theme.

I would suggest go for a SOLID BORDER.

Thank you

 

I think it's nice but you need another color for Pg (or for its background) also I think the pictures need more light.

 

the banner is great and it actually depends on how it will fit nicely into your current site.

 

in my opinion..it looks a bit crowed.. banners should be simple but effective.. not sure if i like the bottom colour where it says "Not sure what to put here yet" . the blending is good on the images..the feather you used... but because the bottom part stops where it does it looks like the pictures are floating... ?

 

My thoughts exactly, try using another color other than black that would blend better. Maybe change the font you used to something different.

use layer styles to blend it good.
