Mouseykins Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Hi so I just finished creating my new header image for my userlookup. I have two that are slightly different and I'm not exactly sure which one I want to use yet. I would like to see which one everyone likes better before making my final decision. The first image Header A: The second image Header B: Which one do you like better? All thoughts are welcome and thank you for taking the time to look at my artwork! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedhaun Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 They both look the same artistically, but I'd take Header B since it has a but more sparkle in the center in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruka Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Header B! It has more glitter onto it, makes everything look more... sparkly! ^_^ P.S I'm curious... how did you make this? ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaana Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I'd say B because the flowers in the middle are easier to see in that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has more glitter onto it, makes everything look more... sparkly! ^_^ P.S I'm curious... how did you make this? ^_^ I did them in photoshop. The wings I used an image from the internet, traced the outline to get the shape of the wings and added my own details. The rest is done using 2 brushes I downloaded.

Syrin of Neopia Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Hmm . . . I like B since the blue background lines are glittery, it connects better if the leaves of the flowers have glitter as well. Plus the glitter makes the actual flowers stand out more. If the rest of your layout is super sparkly already, though, I'd go with header A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welcome Back Apathy Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I like them both, but I would say the center should stand out more, so B is better. I would even suggest maybe making the center brighter, bigger, or darker, so more attention is called to the center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetdang Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Header B for sure for being more sparkly! A darker center is a really good idea. :) And you have photoshop! * jealous* I can use it but I don't have it. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The modules in my lookup have borders with glitter corners to connect them with the rest of the lookup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Meepit Commando Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Unlike everyone else, I prefer A, no offense, but B is a little, much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And does it come with a price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowwhite Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I am voting for B. You can never have too much sparkle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouseykins Posted September 23, 2011 Author Share Posted September 23, 2011 Unlike everyone else, I prefer A, no offense, but B is a little, much... no offense taken! I appreciate honest opinions and if you want to elaborate more please do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I'm also in team A. Both are good but I prefer A, I just think that having the entire thing be glittery is a bit much, I'm not a glittery guy really and I think that it makes the center sort of blend in to the rest of the image more and it should stand out more.

Xepha Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Unlike everyone else, I prefer A, no offense, but B is a little, much... I've got to agree here. Remember that less is more. If your image has "too much" sparkles, then it becomes distracting and lose most of its artistic values. Not having sparkles on the center element actually helps to differienciate it from the rest of your image. Also side note, glitters are better when they are animated. That's another reason why you shouldn't abuse of it. Example of a nice glitter: Image from Pittys Glitters, click here to get your own! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouseykins Posted September 24, 2011 Author Share Posted September 24, 2011 I think I'm going to agree with Xepha and go with Header A. After looking at both images for 10 minutes Header A stands out more and the center flower is the first thing that catches my eye. Thank you all for your opinions! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aronel Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I like the A one better. Although, both are impressive! You did a great job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noog Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 My vote goes for A as well. The glitter is a bit too much. How do you get Photoshop? And does it come with a price? You can purchase it from Adobe for $700. Alternatively, GIMP is a free design program and Aviary is a in-browser design program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetdang Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Agreed! Although Gimp is rather hard to use... You can check out Sumopaint. Unless you're REALLY into it, if you're just looking for simple editing, Sumopaint is fine. And Paint.net, although I've never used that. I've downloaded Aviary on Rockmelt, but haven't opened it up yet. (Does anyone know a replacement for the Magnetic Lasso? The only one I know of is smart scissors , but that's in photobucket, for editing photos not image thingies.) (Sorry for offtopicsness!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This helped me a lot by gaining more knowledge about this. ^_^ P.S I'm really sorry if this is off topic, sorry... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
