Tell me what you think...
I hate how junky my shop looks with all the links and stuff so I am making a mini clickable banner to organize all the links I have. Please look at this and tell me what you think and be nice, I have a fragile ego. LOL! I don't really but I like constructive criticism instead of brutal non-tactful comments. http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/2931/blueshopinfo.jpg Thanks!!

~ May ~ Not a bad idea! :) I thought about it before but I only had 2 banners so it doesn't REALLY matter XD I like the style, altho since I'm not really good at graphics I like a lot of things so you might want some more opinions from people who actually have graphic taste XD...

That looks great Mimi! I feel like the decluttering should help your shop feel easier to navigate:)

I think it's a good idea. I like how things are laid out so far, but I have no idea what the guide buttons stand for or what Amyrilli's Vacation means. But I guess curiosity will make people click on the Amyrilli's Vacation button. The one thing I noticed was that the butterfly is too big. My eyes go straight to it instead of the buttons. It's nice to decorate your banner, but you want to guide people's eyes to the buttons first.

I want players to click on the guide first which is under the butterfly. The eye travels to the butterfly then down to the guide (hopefully). The guide is linked to my items so should mean more sales. The rest of the info is just there for reference. And yes, Amyrilli's Vacation is one of my petpages that is silly but could also represent another link in the future. I am counting on the curiosity thing to get clicks to her page. _____________________________________________________ ~ Mimi's Ménagerie Avatars ~ http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=temps_bons&misc

Okay, wanted more opinions on this since I know how to image map, hurray! Also, someone in my mall showed me this from thegraphicbin and I don't know if I like it or if it's just so different I appreciate that someone was thinking out of the box: http://www.thegraphicbin.com/mall/tgbmall2.png _____________________________________________________ ~ Mimi's Ménagerie Avatars ~ http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=temps_bons&misc

What about this -- I went a little darker and animated... I have already changed the 8 and under so it is easier to read sped it up a little so it flows better Does anyone know how to get the grainy text at the top to look better? If I make it blink faster will that fix it? http://www.createagif.net/actual/3787006_CreateAgif.gif _____________________________________________________ ~ Mimi's Ménagerie Avatars ~ http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=temps_bons&misc

I looked at the original one first, I thought it was lovely! Such pretty colors! And my eye did go right to the word "guide" under the butterfly. This second one I personally don't like as much. The flashing (animation) is kind of blinding and makes it hard to read. I often will leave a shop without buying what I came for if they have a lot of moving or flashing things just because it is so annoying, but perhaps that's just me. I don't mind animation if it's not in the way, but if it's in the middle of what I'm trying to read, I just skip it and move on to the next shop. I really like the idea and your designs, though. I think you do really awesome graphics! Great work! :) ~ Love books? Please visit my bookshop. :) http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=lolooma
