Thoughts on First Graphic Design - Please

[NameAidan]

Here is my first attempt at any sort of graphic design. The idea for the "U" was for it to be behind the building. As the same for the small bottom portion of the "A" and "M". Please tell me your thoughts and ways I could make it better. Thanks! (Im sure you all know, but its a YouTube Channel Banner)

It's pretty good. I think the U should be more visible, if it was a real username I wouldn't know what it meant.

I don't see the reason why the text should hide behind the buildings unless you were to try and blend it into the sky or make it into a cloud. I think if you wanted to go for that you should remove the building blocking the U and make the text more transparent and use a dark gradient on the text.

But honestly, if you just prioritize the U over the building it would be pretty good.

great concept, ok execution

i get that you want your image to have some depth, but covering an entire letter isn't ideal. remove or shorten the large building blocking the U and it should look pretty good. also, the drop shadow behind the text is tripping me out. the sun is behind the text, so it looks super weird. were you trying to make the letters look 3d? make the drop shadow opacity 100% and draw some lines connecting the corners.

A great start, the text looks a little plain, maybe add some manipulation or something more to it. It also feels like the banner is missing something, so play around with it and don't be scared to try new things![DOUBLEPOST=1586835777][/DOUBLEPOST]

Also, the moon and horizon is a bit green. Not sure whats up with that

To me it looks good however you could (as other people already said) try to un-hide the U from behind the building. Isn't really readable.

Apart from that it looks good!
