What do you think of my signature?

Postby XBL » Sun Nov 02, 2003 9:42 am

Hi,

Just started with Photoshop... and I'm trying to make several logo's/banners for several forums. Made this one for cantr

Image

It doesn't really fit on this forum, but I think it looks cool if you put it next to cantr.net. Anyhow, tell me what you think of it and what I should change.

It does look good, but to make it more readable you should go with a green about the same shade as in the "Addicted to..." line, maybe just a shade or two lighter if you don't want it to look the same.

Yes, I first had. But when I do that, the '.com' part is unreadable. Only solution is to make it a whole different color (pink 8)), but that will change the complete look.

And a font where you can see the outline? E.g. 'ligt groen met een zwart randje' (sorry, more clear for both of us if I say it in Dutch ;) ...)

I did something else, I made the msn-addy text almost black (r,g,b all 50 > #323232), and that made the banner look complete different. At least, that's what I think.

It now makes the "Addicted to..." text kinda darker. I don't know exactly how to discribe it... but I think it looks way better now.

oh, almost forgot ;), here is the new one:

Tnx :). And which one is awsome? The one with the 'black emailaddress' or the one with the light green emailaddress?

Black since I can see it better but green fits in with the color scheme. They're both good!

Just like to point out that 'live' should be 'life' if you were going for 'Addicted to Cantr for Life' :wink:

Anyways, good banner. I like it. :D

Tnx to you too. And also thank you for pointing on that... I never know what it is... I always forget if it's life or live.
