I decided to jump in on the Valentine's Day Banner Contest over at the Design blog. Here is my entry.
And here it is without the template text, in case you want to use it.
Composed 100% in Photoshop CS2. This is a case of learning as you go and paying attention to directions.
The 3 key rules that I had to incorporate were:
- Do not use photographs or illustrations that are cropped at the top of the banner.
- Photographic elements should blend into a solid color at the top of the graphic.
- You can maximize readability of the Blog Name and Description by keeping visual elements either below or to the right of the Blog Name and Description
I think I managed to get #1 and #3, but I am not sure about #2. The heart elements aren't cropped, but they don't blend into a solid color.
I may set about doing a revision so it meets that 2nd criteria.
