rep++ My first banner design

[dkr]

Hi,

This is probably my first banner design and I need some suggestions. Where is it bad, and how do I improve. Also, please give me a x/10.

Thank You,
Donny

Well I for one personally love it! The colors are great. Maybe a few things to fix maybe is the text on the bottom for its a bit hard to read. I would have to give it 8/10

thank you. Rep added

In addition to fixing the text on the bottom, I'd say choose a new color combination for the rotating text. While it is definitely readable, it doesn't really pop out and grab attention like a banner ad should. For your first banner design, I'd say you are on the right track.

Out of 10, I would give it a 7.

I concur with Evan.. colors are GR8... w/the exception of the text at the bottom.. needs to be brighter white so that you can read them... other than that the ONLY recomendation that I would make would be to remove the word website from the tagline "Free Webmaster Website Tools" it's kind redundant since on the very next line you state for your website.... 8/10 as well...GR8 JOB!!!

The bottom text is hard to read, as mentioned by everyone else above. Other than that it looks professional and clean.

I would slow down the rotating text a bit. Maybe add a little motion blur inbetween texts to grab attention.

9/10

Rep added. What do you think the color should be for the moving text?

Updated. Any more suggestions?

Actually I think the colour is OK. I would lengthen the timing however - it's barely long enough to read.

Otherwise, I'd change the bottom text to bright white (or make it bigger). Besides those, I love it!

8/10

Apart from the bottom text which is hard to read its a very professional looking banner, good choice of colours, well done

I actually really like the moving text and think the colour is good -- my one problem with the moving text is that it changes really quite fast, at least on my Mac.

If you were to change the speed of that and the bottom font, I'd think it'd be super.

I will give it an 8/10!

Very nice, looks rather professional :imho: colours work well. Very good for first.

Looks really nice and professional but as mentioned in majority of the posts above, the text at the bottom is difficult to read and lengthen the timing of the moving text. I would give it a 9/10.

 

[LeetPCUser]

Great design! I would give it a 9/10 soley because the text moves too fast. I think you should slow down the tween time on text. Other than that it is perfect.

Looks really good for a first banner. Very professional look. The only thing is the text on the bottom is hard to read. Change the font to something sans-serif and possibly not small-caps. That will make it much easier to read.
8/10

I would definitely question your choice of font on that bottom strip, but other than that it looks great. 8/10...make the font better and 9/10.

Thank You everyone. Rep added to everyone. I've edited the first post with the new banner. Check it out

WOW ... you said it's a first, but it does look great ... I am getting a bit envious right now

 

[singx]

Really cool, definitely great for a first, surely need to modify the bottom text a bit to improve readability.
btw, which software did you use?

 

[dkr]

rep all added. I've just updated the banner in the first post.

singx, I just used macromedia fireworks, photoshop and imageready

 

[howdy]

Everything looks great in terms of colors matching and font size. But I kind of not like your 'www' logo, maybe its just me. But overall its a really good design with a professional look, keep up the good work.

8.5/10
