Improving my designs

[jxhdvn]

Over the past few years I've been doing graphic design work here and there, trying to improve my craft. I just want feedback on areas I can improve in, I'm going to link all the banners I made in chronological order leading to my most recent ones.

Keep in mind that the earlier works are from late 2017, while the newer ones were made this year.

Constructive criticism is what I want here. I don't know if I'll get that but it doesn't hurt to ask around.

Love the newest two! The two before that are decent, although thee vexy one feels like a mix between a sharp/flat and more blurry/3d-ish style, it would be better to focus on one. Love the idea of the blurry and non-blurry pluses on the seven99 one, but it feels like it goes from blurry to sharp too instantly. JMF: Not a massive fan of this style. Fortnite: Love this one. Qaseem: A lot that could be fixed. I know this is old, so I'll keep it simple with the most important issue: the contrast is way off. It's difficult to read and makes everything look weird.

noting this for sure, I can see what you mean. blurring has been something I struggled with a lot in photoshop and I'm only improving with it. you figure there's a certain balance to be found?
