You used a good font for it, but to be honest, the blur affect kinda ruins the whole thing. It's designed to be used for one pic banners. It might look better if you tried fading it. A big part of learning to make banners is experimenting, and seeing what you like best.

This is a pretty good one. Maybe change the color of the font though? Also it would look a little better if you faded the dark (I forgot the name of it lol) around the edges. Its really good though, considering you just have picnik.

First off, a border could help it alot. Also, the font changing colors is a little distracting...maybe try white? Also I think this would be a good one to try fading text. Its pretty good...Another thing..maybe change the placement of the text and the heart. Like I said earlier, expirmenting is the way to learn the best.

Hmmm....I'm not sure of my opinion of the neon lights think..It kinda gives it a spooky look. It kinda takes away from it. The rounded border adds to it...well to be honest this is kinda a hard banner to critique. :/ Its ok though. I kinda like it.

Hmm..I'm not sure, but I think I critiqued this for you a while back? I'm not sure, so I will type it out. Most people dont like the coloring of it...its kinda growing on me though. The placement of the heart would be pretty good, if you would make it smaller. The color of the font goes well with it too.

If you have any questions about anything on picnik, pm me. I am happy to help you with anything. :) Hope I helped somewhat...

I think that there is way too much going on in this one. I love the pictures themselves but with the tunnel effect, its hard to comprehend simply. You want to get a pretty but simple at the same time kind of effect. Complex in a way thats simple if that makes any sense.

The pictures are a little dark but the text choice is good. I'd condense the text a little so that its not all over the banner.

THe text is hard to read and the pictures aren't blended. This could be a really cool banner if it was done a little bit differently.

This is really hard to see and tak in.

I think this is really cute, though it is still hard to see.

Overall, you've definatly got taste in the making. Try downloading GIMP, its free online and simple to use. Its what I use for my banners. You can blend with gimp and use more professional looking effects and tools. Good job and keep working at it!

Here are some banners I've made. I use PICNIK because I can't really figure out how to use photobucket or GIMP. (don't laugh at me, I stink with computers)

So tell me what you think!

This one I made while just goofing around with what I could do on PICNIK.

I don't have much to say about this one.

I LOVE Quarter Horses, so I like this one.

I have no idea what to say about this one.

I really like this one.

Alright, Critique away!
