Well, I guess you disappeared. I'll put it back up for you next time you're online.

The overall design idea is good. I see what you are going for.

The large cyborg hands are a bit overkill for a site like this. That kind of design element would be perfect for a gaming site.

What is needed for a site like this is a more understated design. Actually, if you removed the hands and blended the rest into the background, that would be more understated and elegant. Perhaps the hands could be replaced with some other graphic. That graphic could then be extended on both sides of the banner (via html) to fill a wider browser screen.



The hands are not Cyborg.. It's water..
I thought water goes good with paint... and paint = GIMP :lol
I have no idea with what I could replace them though.

:( I'll change the background colour and reupload it..

Okay I changed the background colour to the same colour as the site..

If it's still not the same I'll have to restart because then it's probably because of the Hue saturation and stuff..

So let me know..

I love it but ofcourse if you want something else you can always tell me :paint2

TBH Bloodwell_,
I think what Gnu Tux said about the hands being overkill, I have to agree.
To me they don't fit with the site. The eye goes directly to those hands and the gimp chat text is lost in the shuffle.
I really do think you are coming along great though.
I know you don't mind honest criticism so this is just my take on it. Others may think differently...... ;)

I wouldn't have been able to make a banner like yours with the little experience you have. So in comparison yours is much better. :bigthup
