I like this banner the most

Yeah, agreed. This is my favorite out of the bunch, love the design.


Agreed. I think this one looks the best. Though I feel kinda bad that I couldn't contribute anything to it. I like making cover art.

HOLY SHIT! WINGBONER! HOW DID YOU EVEN MANAGE...... Anyway, I love the first one for the cover, but the quote from the third, "Pulling Back the Curtain", just jumps out at me. It's interesting and draws you in for more.

Yeah, I just kind of made the taglines up on the fly. Spur of the moment and all of that.

Right, so since everyone seems to like the first design, but the third tagline seems more fitting to the album as a whole, how's about we simply replace the first line with the other one?

And, voila!

Add some thin black outline for the white texts. It's really difficult to read the text on the bottom of the image.

Hm. I can read it just fine. Have you tried lowering your brightness setting?

White on bright colors - especially yellow - is never a good idea. You should always blend it with an outer glow.

Don't get me wrong - I like the design and the font. I just think the texts could use an outline to make them more readable.

Well, outlines are a bit difficult on my current software, but I'll see what I can do.

Save the the font file and the main design to jpg or something and pm me them. I'll do it in a few seconds in PS.

If you'd like me to, that is.

Me? Paint.NET, version 3.5.something or other. See, when it comes to actually drawing things, I'm horrible at it. What I am good at is taking existing images and spiffing them up. Hence why I prefer making banners and the like.

I might want to try my hand at something as well. That is, if you don't mind...

Oh, I'm sorry! Am I being too much of a doormat? I really need to learn to be more assertive...

I find these statements to be very ironic, considering our avatar icons. XP

The heck is your avatar supposed to be, anyways? All I can make out is some kind of black and red, vaguely pony-looking form.

Fluttershy isn't my favorite, but my song for the album is a Fluttershy song.

Actually, it's just a bad photoshop of me playing my trumpet in a pirate costume. Why you say it looks like Jack sparrow is beyond me. Come to think of it, I have no idea why I made that my icon anyways. XP

I just used the good old pony creator for my avatar. As I said, when it comes to actually drawing stuff, I'm bad.
