New Banner!

[Former_Member]

I made a new banner! My family likes it but I am not so sure. I am going for something professional but still fun because that is my personality. I really would love some advise. I don't have money to pay someone to do it so I am the person who is making all of my banners. Any help would be great!

hi Carson :)
very pretty things you have!

The first thing I noticed is that the blue "sky" is cutting off the picture of your jewelry a bit on the right side. You'll need to crop it a bit, so that there is the same amount of blue on either side on the font..then it won't cut the bracelet off. Or perhaps see what it looks like with the jewelry examples all on one side (maybe the left)? Also, are you able to adjust the opacity or transparency of the blue background?.. do it just a bit.

Hope this helps :)

Thank you Gina! I actually have made yet another one that I like much better so I would love any critique on the newest one.

It's very cute, I like the "scattered" dots :)

I kind of gave up on my banner cause I couldn't figure out how to do it! Any easy tips on that? I wanted to have one that said more of what my store sells and is about but settled with the one I have..... tips?

Hey Cason, I found your tag line a bit hard to read. I think if it had a bit more blue to the top and bottom of the letters they would be easier to read. I read too late at night as a kid and have the eyes of an old lady, but that's what I noticed about it. Otherwise I like it. I think it's fun but not "silly."

I don't mind it - if anything I don't like the chiller font. Apart from that I think it's ok. Trying to be honest lol

It's cute, but I don't like the font. It looks creepy. The photo of the jewelry on the left side looks like it's not supposed to be there.

I would maybe change the font to reflect a classy look. You're jewelry is gorgeous and very classy!

that's true.. the banner isn't really matching the pretty items in your shop.
I would get rid of the photo - since it's also your avatar pic, darken the blue a bit, and change the font. Not sure what you're using to make it, but have you tried to scatter the letters a bit in the word "scattered"? If not, maybe try the dots scattered along one side, at the bottom, or between your name & description of what you sell (like you have now) in white instead of inside of a stripe. It would clean things up a bit to match your look :)

Hope this isn't overwhelming, but helpful instead. If I could be of assistance, let me know :)
