Actually the rule was, that you had to make a thread of your recent work in the a &g forum. but roo you have the final say. Neil very nice...though I would have made the Pokémon a different color to stand out. |

Get rid of the map in the background - the OUTDATED map that is being replaced and has erroneous information in it. If you're going to make ALLUSIONS to the map with text from it in the background, at lease use a font that isn't horrendously ugly. |

There is a reason for everything. I put the writing in to make it more tohea. The writing is also saying places in the game which looks better. |

Why don't you get rid of the map and then write in the names of places, in somewhat larger text for people to see? That would be cool, I think. I'm no expert, but it might help for the effect I think you're trying for Neil. |

I dont understand why people bombard banners with images. People dont look at the banner and say "it looks good so i will stay". They look at it for about 30 seconds then they read for more content. My advice: get rid of the pictures. That means the fakemon, the trainer and the map. Leave the ORIGINAL background and the text. Keep the whole entire phrase one size, and not 4 words smaller than the last one. It looks terrible like that. your first banner before you edited it looked ALOT better. This one is terrible. |

For what it's worth, Neil, I think that your Tohea Teams banner is the very best. Now, from the perspective of a non-graphicist (which I think would be the majority of the general Tohea population), I also find the images in the 1st competition banner unappealing, especially the redox.. >> I do like your idea of including a Tohea-exclusive Pokémon, and Redox may have had the best image for your purpose, but perhaps it could just fade more into the background rather than being so forward? I dunno, it just doesn't seem to blend well. I'm also not sure if it'd be a good idea to include the map, considering that it's being reworked anyhow, but perhaps simple references to places within Tohea by means of text. I'm personally not going to look at a banner and care much at all about the font unless it is just plain crappy, which yours is not, so I won't comment. Also, sure you don't want to put "Tohea" instead of "Tohean"? I guess it's kind of arbitrary, but I think the former would be better. Still, Niel, you're good at this, so keep working at it. |

Zero, you're the official simon cowell of Graphics. You should watch what you say but hey. I guess you think your good. ^^ Im not editing that. I like it as it is. Nobody will say for improvements but me for that one. Unless I get extra time to work on it. I will do like the fading and things like that. But apart from that. Its stay like that. Im happy to know my tohean teams banner is good. Those 2 rare candies could prove useful to use straight before the OOC Tournament. |

...zer0 is hardly Simon Cowell in any form or fashion. If you can't take constructive criticism, don't post your images in a thread where people are coming to critique. The banner is for all of Tohea if it gets accepted, not just for you, so if people give you advice or comments you should at least weigh them instead of flippantly brushing them off in such a rude manner. Speaking of rude, that's another thing zer0 wasn't. I failed to see any insults to justify your defensive reply (saying your banner is terrible isn't rude, it's blunt and accurate). Calm down, and if you think your work is so amazingly perfect then don't bother submitting it here because you're obviously MUCH too good for that. Right? You're so talented you should go and use your skill and get hired someplace where people pay (large sums of money) for your artwork. How's that sound? Baibai! Then hush and don't snap at anyone who so much as DARES to have the insolence to comment. Smile and nod, and do whatever you want, but don't snap at a respected Mod / graphics maker who has quite a bit of experience and more of a reputation than you have managed. |

I know this is probably really c**p but its my first attempt at this sort of thing. Any comments and tips would be helpful. Using Adobe Photoshop 3.0 if it means anything.
