Can I get advice on this?

Submitted by supre_drake on Sun, 09/08/2009 - 5:58pm
I played around with some digital scrapbooking stuff I had bought online & came up with this nifty little graphic last night. I really really love it. I just don't think it's bright/catchy enough to lure someone to click on it. I do use 1 other catchy image, but still. I tried making the houses different colors, but that didn't seem to help. It made it worse. What do you think? http://i30.tinypic.com/149wb34.jpg

haha another pink lover :* I'm not really sure what to suggest to make it more "want to click" though. Graphics etc isn't really my thing, I like how it's different from typical banners though :)

XD Um...I know that this isn't much of a suggestion, but maybe make your title (?) and subtitles stand out more, and fade the others out slightly so that the more important headings and such are more noticeable? I think its a beautiful banner though :D

I like it. I would use it if it was for my categories.

He asked me for a petpet shop banner and was like "can you just make it look... kinda manly?" aparently everyone he asked for anything made.. "cute" stuff XD And he's majorly addicted on customization, altho he prefers NC I think.. But see - one customer you lose with pink xD On the subject - I find it cool.. But maybe since you're following that line, make stuff... blink? XD

I would say if you made 'wearables' and 'boutique' bigger and bolder, maybe a maroon or darker pink if you must, it would make a big diff i think.

Can you change the color of the houses? Maybe make one green, one pink and one blue? And make them a bit faded like others said and make the text stand out a bit more.

Thanks everyone :* I had mentioned in my first post that I tried changing the color of the houses, but it didn't come out too well. But, I'm going to try again and see what I can do. Hopefully it helps :P Edit: I played around with it again tonight. I'm not sold on it & it's not as "fresh" and "neat" as I want it, but I think it says "Click Me!" a little more. http://i30.tinypic.com/2dkd7qh.jpg As a side rant, I wish I didn't have to put "Supre_drake" all over my stuff, but people have such sticky fingers when it comes to graphics on neopets!!
