A new banner - Rate

[alamgir]

I haven't made a banner for such a long time, and bear in mind i'm still new at the business but anyway here it is. I got help from VF's tutorial too. And please I only want rates from people who know what they're saying and can make their own banners. I also would like to know what i can do to improve my banners.

[Angel-Eyes]

nah, I think its better without the scan lines

[VampireNinja]

Needs a border :)

[alamgir]

Alright i'll add a border and this time i'll minimize the whole background and see how it goes with and without the scan lines.

EDIT: I have made my final modications in my first post. I might add a border later on and kester, i got rid of the scan lines.

dont resize the finished product like that, it ruins detail and makes it look blurry.
try not to make the focul point the center, try not to make the charector drastically away from the focul point, and try not to set the char to luminosity.

[neofunker]

work on your background and making ryu the same color as the background makes it look weird :whatsthat: and ya I think you need a border :sleepy:

Well alamgir i think the background is good. but ur typos is bad. And scan lines foes not make a banner look good if youdon't use it properly. I never use it cuz i don't know how lol. Also ur blending ain't all that bad. vf said everything what to do. Godd job though keep on pacticing. :)

What type of blending do u suggest I use?

[LAB~MONSTER]

Use control balance. short cut CTRL+b. I use other blending options as wel but its a long story.
