I wouldnt consider myself a "pro" with photoshop, but I have been using it for a couple years now. I have no formal training however, so I think my products might still be kinda sloppy. Anyway, My band asked me to make a banner with our pictures. I wonder if I captured the proper mood, or did a good job on it overall. I'd like honest feedback, even if it's negative.

it is not too bad, however, you could give the people more in style with the rest of the pic, I.E, put a distorted layer on it, giving it a scratched, worn look. But i am no pro either.

Looks pretty cool. Your band have anything on Youtube?
Edit: Did you copy the Game Informer style?

@ Jonny: We already talked offsite about it lol.
@bojjen: Thanks, we dont have anything recorded, we just play small gigs. Also, I have no idea what "Game Informer Style" is... Thats a game magazine isnt it? I dont really get it... We all just agreed on black and white, with a "gritty" feel. Thats what I was going for.

Game Informer has a style almost identical to that. You guys have you're own songs, or you play other band's music?

@ HOF: Yup, you finally get to see me. Hope you likes @ Bojjen: I did not know that. Its kinda hard to make claims on "Dark Greyscale with pixelly edges" though, its rather broad. I dunno I'll work on it more. We mostly write our own songs but we do covers so we have longer set times xD if you like In Flames or similar bands, youd probably like it. No clue when we'll get something recorded though, its a really grueling process actually :[

I was saying you'd have copyright issues, I was saying you had a similar style. That's all. Well I mean you don't need professional recordings to get started. A video camera and a few mics are all you need. Youtube fans are impressed with Spongbob recreations of popular songs,you make a nice vid of you guys playing, and they should love it. I don't know who In Flames is. I'll look them up.

Morning! Better, for the fact taht the border works with the miage, but worse because it seems to stand out more than the images, you should maybe make it darker.
