opinions on this banner

im not good at photoshop...this is one of the 1st banners i ever made (i used a tutorial). tell me what you think! and tell me any opinions or suggestions on how to improve it.

 

Its not bad, just a bit simple. I would hunt down some halo graphics(like a character, vehical, etc.) and incorporate something like that into it. The flash is fine.

hope that helps,

Good attempt add some pics according to content to make attractive

 

I think the Halo logo should be on the left side and not the right.

Overall besides Halo 3 sucking, it is a very clean looking banner. Not to flashy.

If I was to add something I would add maybe a helmet or the "legendary" medal to there somehow.

 

It's actually pretty good for a first attempt! It's just plain, that's all. Some simple gray/watermarked imagery in the background would make that look killer...

 

I would do as already suggested and get Halo graphics, but I would add the graphics as a background layer and decrease opacity so the graphics makes a sort of light faded background texture behind everything. This would help give the banner more excitement, rather than the basic black-to-grey gradient that is there right now.

Good job for first banner!

 

thanks for all the suggestions!

how much better is this? (only added 1 image tho, haha)

 

BuLLeTz, it's a nice banner but you might want to try remaking it with a different font as it's a bit plain.

 

very plain, make it stand out a little more.. fix the blending on the 3

 

animation is ok but the 3 well this logo soesn't look good in the way you compressed it and fix the blendign of it like newbie told ya
