needs work.... alot of it.

:Criticizm:

I dont like the bevelled text. The background is bland. Text colors dont work.


:Improvement Ideas:


Work with different brushes and mix and match abstract with grunge.

Try using multiple colors.

Use gradients with the text but nothing to contrasting or too heavy.

use a 1 pixel stroke on the text.

Center the name on the right side and add the quote in smaller font below it.

Make sure the font is easily readable.

1 pixel border would do nicely.

:Mini boarder tutorial:

1. CTRL + A to select everything.
2. Select > Modify > Border > 1 Pixel
3. Create a new layer and place it on top of other layers.
4. Edit > Fill > Black
5. Blending Options > Stroke > 1 PX > Black
6. Fill > 0%

Thanks Zeerus hun. I made it yesterday since my other look got to old...So I updated it to Samurai Yuna! Alright enough chit chat. Still he hadn't done one in three years so it's pretty good.

FF-X2 was a bad game. It shames the Final Fantasy name and should commit seppuku.

FFX-2 was a disgrace, but Yuna was cool nonetheless. Seppuku is the most interesting of samurai traditions, don't you think?

Yeah it was somewhat of a disgrace to the FF series but I thought it was alright. Also Seppuku is a bit of a interesting tradition of samurais, though enough of this history lesson boys! Back on topic with the banners!
