.com Forum · Banner Making Forum

Right. So it's been a looonnnggg time since I've really made a (good) banner, but I'm going to try and sharpen up my skills a bit.

I can make banners / GPs / PPs / whatever you can think of, just ask. Everything is free, but since my kennel is a bit broke at the moment I would really appreciate some donations.

Examples

Type [banner, GP, PP] - Banner
Main Text: Treestand Kennel
Sub Text:
Breed(s): Borzoi and Gordon Setter
Background: I'm bad, I have no creative direction. I'm happy with anything.
Theme: None?
Other: I like not stacked pictures if that makes sense? If you decide to do two seperate banners with one breed each, that's awesome too! I am happy to have a traditional rectangle banner or one like Hazel Gate. I'm honestly happy with just about anything.

I'll have more orders in a few weeks!

Type [Banner, GP, PP]: Banner
Main Text: Amoroso
Sub Text: Dachshunds and Bearded Collies
Breed(s): Dachshund (preferably wire or smooth) and Bearded Collie
Background: anything natural...a field would be appropriate, as long as the dachshund is visible and stands out as well lol
Theme: natural (I'm fairly easy so whatever you think looks best)
Other: Thanks in advance!

I want I want! I just came back recently ao it needs a little something.

I'll gladly donate

Alright, here's my first banner in forever. o.o Hopefully it's okay! I will more than gladly do a redo if you want. I hope I got the Borzoi / Setter proportion right.



(There are no sources due to the fact that none of the images I used required it, and I was too lazy to tack them on just for the sake of it. )

[edit] Actually, that thing is tiny. Here's a bigger version.

Thank you!!!

Send me a payment pup please!

Okay, here's Amoroso's! Hopefully it looks alright, that bearded collie gave me one heck of a time with all of it's hair. D: I can resize it if you want, or redo it if you aren't happy.

Myths, well done you on making banners, I hope you don't mind a couple of (I hope) constructive comments.

The heads on the Borzoi and Setter are out of proportion, Borzois are big headed but refined, much bigger dogs than setters and so the two dogs should reflect that difference when stacked next to each other.

The Dachshund head is not great, I looked twice and had to check to see if it were a bad Ridgeback initially, Dachs heads should be easily recognisable, this one isn't.

I appreciate it's difficult, and I couldn't make banners myself so I feel a little hypocritical making comments but hope you'll take it as meant, in good spirit, and above all I think you are very talented and thank you for joining the ranks of banner makers.

Of course I don't mind! Thank you so much for the feedback!

Unfortunately, I don't have very much experience with dogs in RL - I think that's where most of this problem might stem from, since I don't have an idea of actual sizes / proportion and have to go off what I can read and see from google haha.

I attempted to research the sizes of the Gordon and Borzoi, but I think on that account I was thrown off because the measurement shown on the Borzoi page was up to the shoulder whereas the Setter result was the full height I believe. I'll have to look more carefully next time.

As for the heads being out of proportion, I can't think why that would be. I was careful to keep the proportions from the image that I took the dogs from while scaling and such - could I perhaps PM you the pictures I used to see if they themselves were inaccurate or if they somehow got lost in translation?

The dachshund I can understand though. I did a lot of editing on that one which threw the tone of the skin off, as well as removing the collar off of that one so the neck might be a bit less defined. Beside that the proportion is off on that one as well, the head should be smaller than the Bearded's I presume - though that one was more intentional since I wanted both breeds to be showcased equally.

-Myths

Here's Elusive's banner. If you like this one, I'll go ahead and make the matching GP. Hopefully this isn't too pink haha.



Also, as for Treestand and Amoroso - if you would like me to follow up with mournebrake's comments and fix the proportions / appearances of your dogs please tell me so and I'll start on it right away. ^-^

First off, I love the overall style and theme...and actually love the beardie! But, I do agree with one of the above posts that the dachshund head is not a great representative :/ If you could find another photo that would fit in place for the dachshund, that would be wonderful! I will pay extra for the re-do And thank you again!

Em

Amoroso - No worries at all! I'll start working on that now. ^-^

Elusive - I'll send over a link to a paypup in a second.

Gilded - Sorry for taking so long, but here it is. If you're happy with this one, I'll go ahead and make the GPs.

It's not one of my best, that staffie REFUSED to cooperate, no matter what I did. D:

Oh I really love it! The only thing I'm seeing is that the staffie is an American Staffordshire Terrier and not a Staffordshire bull terrier. Maybe I'm wrong though?

Could I give you my own images of a dog to use?

Gilded - Good grief. I'm really not good at working with dogs am I? I'll be right on that once I finish Amoroso's edit.

Rakkus - Of course! That'd actually be preferable, deciding which pictures to use probably takes me longer at times than actually making the banner.

Can't wait to see mine
