Art My First Ever Banner and Avatar! What do you think?

[Minako]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][COLOR=DarkRed]Hello!

I've done my first ever banner and avatar, with the help of Photoshop Elements. I like the comic, Mutts, and I like Earl the best. It started out becoming an avatar (I know how to make those) but this is my first banner ever. I would really like some imput and feedback on how I can improve!

I like it. It's clean, and clutterless. However, I do think you need to make the image bigger... it's too hard to see. The disclaimer should also be taken out, as it's just annoying/distracting.

I suppose it's a simple explaination for a simple avatar.

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][COLOR=DarkRed]Thanks for the input! I appreciate it!

Now here's one of Mooch, yet again, from Mutts. I like Mutts because it's black and white and I don't have to mess around with backgrounds...

Input appreciated!

Anyway, about the banners (the avatars are great!).

Your white space is awesome! I love that you don't feel the need to fill it all. It gives an awesome effect.

I think that the banners are a bit too centered though. The concept, type, and image are great, but the symetry throws it off a bit.

On the Earl one, move him to the left, I think.
As for the Pink Sock, maybe put the image far to the right and have all the text in a
line?

Just play a bit with them, not focusing so much on symetry.
