My banners and avatars

[HELL]

I recently started making sig banners and avatars, and here's the few I've got so far. I'll update this thread with any new ones I make as I upload them.

BANNERS:

That's the lot so far. What do you think?

The one you have now is pretty good so I rated it a 6 and I couldnt be bothered to look at any others cause the is so slow

ehh... to tell you the truth, they're really not so good. you used paint, obviously, and the pics are just... :\ the bg is always solid, and the cropping is awful. 5/10

I know they're not good, but what do you expect? I've only been doing this a short time as you can tell by the quantity.

Yes I used Paint. I have nothing else.

What's wrong with the pics may I ask? I quite like the ones I used.

I'll learn to do better backgrounds in time of course.

What do you mean cropping? What is that exactly? (n00b alert)

Also, is there anything constructive to say? I've always been advised to give some positive feedback with any amount of negative feedback.

Anyway, thanks for yer pointers so far. I'll be practicing more now, but could someone please give me pointers on how I can improve?

(Note; getting a new imaging program isn't a pointer, since I can't.)

hmm... well, i think you can use a torrent to get PS for free... but that's illegal.

 

[HELL]

Thanks. I'll try to find a way to get it. I like making these things, but I can't see me making any decent ones on Paint.

Ah well.
