Banner feedback

[Ivain]

So I recently made myself a new banner (about time), and I wondered what others thought of it.
What would you do differently, and what do you think could be done better?

banner is in my signature

I can offer a service (not well known on here) to do a thread design or just a banner for cheap cuz I'm just trying to help out.
Also if your not on pc what are you on ? OS X? because if so I'm also on there and def can get u started with all you need.

Its more of the quality of the screenshots and how the text and color just do not match. Distracting from the builds themselves.

well, the screenshot quality is mostly due to it being scaled way down, cropped and random overlays, I think.
Unless you mean general composition, in which case RIP.

i looked at your portfolio and there are plenty of different pictures you can show off and that have a matching color scheme.

I'd rather change my color scheme though, as these are pics of some of my better maps.

you cant just change the color scheme. it doesn't work like that. Its has to do with the text colors your using and the colors of your screenshots.

yeah, so if the color scheme of my text does not match that of my screenshots, I can use a different color scheme on the text, I assume?
Also, I may just have to switch to 1 screenshot only, since I assume you also mean conflicting color between the screens?

Put a slight blur on the background

your screenshots do not match your text, your text does not match your screenshot. your text does not match its other text // border, and your screenshots don't match with each other.

 

[Ivain]

yeah, as I assumed. Which is why I asked what you would suggest, since that means I'll have to start over. I'll be using one from these: http://www.planetminecraft.com/project/insane-dreamscape/[DOUBLEPOST=1480445820][/DOUBLEPOST]oh, and I guess another final question XD.
This was just a random font I came across, do you have any recommendations for a BETTER font? I never really know how to pic fonts, even my graphic design teacher wasn't particularly clear about it (we only got the very basics btw)

you should add blur,color correction and others little effect for details but otherwise it's pretty good

I would recommend using white for your text. If you are unsure about the color, just use white, it's always a safe option. Just put a nice drop shadow on that bad boy and it's done. Don't distract the viewer from the actual terraforming in the background. If you're including your work in the banner, make it the focus of the banner. Therefore, put the text in the corner or center it in the bottom so they can see the beauty of the work.
