Ah, you have really hit it there Kit. Can't you just tell when a piece has been rushed? I'm not makig excuses but it was rushed and I handed it in just in time. Sadly, Larael didn't manage to end the contest on the same day otherwise I would have had three days longer to make it. On the other hand I didn't want to add too much too it, and I tried various things, but in the end, as it's just a sad and porwerful scene I wanted to let the pictures speak for themselves. *feels as if she's disappointed people* :guilty:


One contest isn't going to change anything. You're still a brilliant graphic-maker when you've the decent time, I know you've been extremely busy, and I'm sorry if my comment was a bit harsh but I really do believe you have a lot more ability to add to graphics.


Thank ye Kit. :blush: No, your comment was fair and after all if you don't get a bad comment now and then you start getting arrogant. :whistle: I actually thought it was a pretty good banner but when I saw all the others together..I probably wouldn't have placed it very high either. :-)

Oh gosh, now I feel terrible because I rushed you. I had no idea I wasn't going to have time to get on for three days! Things just kind of came up if you know what I mean. Now I feel like I should take responsibility for the final result. :guilty: Sorry JF...

No, no, no!! It's perfectly fine Larael. I had what I suppose you could call a mental block at the time and I really couldn't find anything else to do with it. :-) So it wouldn't have mattered when I made it, I don't suppose.

So, don't be frettin'. I still like it. ;)

You know, JF. Yours doesn't seem rushed at all. I really like it. *shrugs* Your banners, rushed or not, always have a signature beauty to them

Thanks Sam. :hug: You and Merry have got so much better at graphics so quickly it's amazing. :-)

I think we'd better finish hi-jacking Larael's thread. :lol:

1st: Limwen-Villa. Beautiful! I love the blending the colors, the text. Perfectly balanced.
2nd: Johnny's Fan. What's all the fuss about? This banner is beautiful! A bit simple, and not mind-blowing for sure, but very nicely balanced. The lyrics and picutres just speak for themselves. Any more textures would have made it overcrowded.
3rd: Morwen Anduril. Very different than the others, I liked how you chose that scene and went with it. The effect is very powerful, and just looking at your banner makes me feel a bit sad. The text goes wonderfully with the graphics.
Honourable Mention: Merry & Sam. I like the affect the colors have, they make the overall feeling very sad. The pictures are blended nicely, though the texture of horizontal lines is a bit distracting.

No problem Larael. :-)

Thanks Sam and thanks Rin.

Can I just say though, because I don't want Kit to feel bad, that she was just stating her opinions and I was quite happy with them, so the conversation my look like a "fuss" is being caused, were just talking about it really. :-)

So thank you all again for your votes, comments, opinions etc. I really appreciate them!

On with the voting folks! :D

*waves to Kit whenever she appears* I definitely respect Kit's opinions. She's more qualified to judge than I! :-D


And, I would just like to say that I had not discovered the wonders of PNG when I entered my banner. The lines are actually softer when viewed through my program, but because I hosted it as a jpg, they came out thick and distracting. It's not a huge difference...becus I was bein lazy when I made it...

I actually always thought JPEG was the best way to save stuff. I always use it. :lost:

Eep! Just had to add something Larael! Then I'll stop invading the thread. :)

When making graphics, especially when your graphic goes through a lot of layerse and layers of textures or fill layers and you hadn't really sharpened the image throughout your making it --- it's best to save it as .png because it comes out looking more like the graphic you've made in your program than .jpg --- .jpg even though it holds a smaller amount of KB, most of time makes your graphic either more blurry and just less sharp, you're less aware of details with .jpg.
