^not bad but the learn, share and expand text is hard to read and it doesn't look like the text is centered. an easy way to do that is to be on your text layer, go select>all, then click the move tool and it gives you the little toolbar for that tool and you hit the appropriate button to center horizontally
Smerrel i meant the lowest layer.

yea it's nice to look at colors that vibrate when they are mixed in high frequency like this but it's hard to see the text in front of it. Nice 3d-look on the large text though. I think all letters could be bigger. adding some more relaxed areas would work too or maybe a dark gradient from the bottom that goes a little bit up just so the small text can sit on it.

Here is what i have created, let me know if it needs any changes or anything added.

I know I said I wouldn't mess with the banner I put up... but I got to relaxing and a bit of expanded interest, so I touched it up again. I am learning about how to make things pop at the dimensions they will be viewed at. That is a tricky concern... especially for those of us who don't do graphic design for a living. Here we go.

Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it." ~ Buddha

Melodic Catastrophe, I'm not sure about the whole ratio thing, I made mine 1656w X 216h in points. Also incase anyone isn't too familiar with web graphics you should set up your document at 72dpi and make a .png file when you go to post it up here, that will give you the best looking web graphic. I love all the things everyone is coming up with! Theres a few that are tied up for my favorite right now, excited to see what else comes up 'Little spider weaves a wispy web, stumblin' through the woods it catches to my head. She crawls behind my ear and whispers secrets. Dragonfly whiz by and sings now teach it.'

Does that sound about right Trav? Convert a melodic element into a rhythmic element...

Are there some general dimensions in pixels that we could use as a guide?
A basic ratio would be 7.6 pixels by 1 pixel. Multiply as needed (766x100, 1533x200, etc).
