I can't see the image too. It is probably because you linked the image wrongly. If all fails, use image hosting.

No problem.I can see that a fair bit of effort has been placed in creating the banners. However, there is still lots of room for improvement.The lettering font should be slightly more formal and the colour used should be more contrasting with the background. With the top part of the words almost white, it is displeasing to the eyes. You should either try putting dark orange or use total white for the first one, and doing away with the black at the bottem and reduce the shadow effect. For both banners, the background makes it look like a clan banner. You should try to use a single, uniform colour or you can try using 2(or maybe up to 4, depending on how many colours you are comfortable with and how it turns out in the end) colours mixed with a graphical effect. A picture as a background could also do the job. You should also re-think the colour scheme for both banners.However, it really depends on what is your aim of the banner and how it turns out. What is written here may not apply to you. You should only take this post as a guideline to improve. One man's meat is another's poison. But what I have written here is what I feel applies generally to most situations.-Shackman

3/10 on the first one... Wirting is to hard to read.. no border.. background is ok.. not really my thing... i really dont like that style... and i think Banners should be 460x88 or what ever the standard is... :D4/10 same as above but it has a border... i dont know.. just looks... tackie... i'm not the best at graphic design... but i can still see what looks good and what looks bad...No hard feelings

im sorry.... but i will give both about a 3.5/10... they really strike me as outstanding.. rather plain.. the white bg and the words, is rather hurting on the eyes too.. it would be better if u could make e banner longer and without the portrait border... the banner shouldn't look like a painting..
