Wow those are great for first banners, I can remember mine and they were hideous, you're blending skills are really really good, each blend looks really neat and smooth.

I would suggest that you try adding some more effects to your banners, lens flares like you used in the Arwen banner are pretty, but using textures or colouring to really make them pop. AU has some really simple tutorials here, that can make lots of pretty effects, whilst Big Tutorials on LJ has some more complicated ones. I'd also suggest you try out some text effects, which you can find on AU too.

I hope you don't think I've been too critical as your first banners are really great attempts, and I hope that my CC is helpful- Keep at it and you'll be good in no time!

Thank you :) No, no, I don't think you're too critical, this was exactly what I needed :)
Thank you for the tips, I'll remember them next time :) I'm thinking of downloading some fonts to, since I don't have so many that fits.

Oooh good idea, custom fonts are brilliant! (I'm slightly addicted to downloading them :P)

And feel free to PM if you have any questions/ problems graphics making :)

It is easy to get addicted, I guess x) I downloaded many fonts a few years ago, but I don't have them anymore... Well, I should look around at dafont.
Now I use almost the same font everytime, and it can be a bit boring after a while :eyeroll:
