Ah, looking at sbs making banner for gamers-forum.com, so I decided to make one to. :P

For your information, this is my first time making banner.

The banner is made with Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended.

Below is the banner. With my own theme called 'The Missing Mario'

And this is the screenshot of me making it.

I hope this can be Gamers-Forum banner. I really love to see it become this forum banner.

Thank you.

It looks good, but I'm going to be picky and point out that the blocks look a little weird. :-P No big deal though. And good job, it looks fine! But does it go with our dark layout (which is the main)?

the lack of video game characters is very lacking

hamada: thank man.

kitty: yeh I know the thing look pretty weird. I'm lack of skill to paste and stuff like that. And by the way, you have a good point said that it's not suit the dark gf which is the main theme but however, why not making up is white and down is black. lmao :P

thedeparted: Yer, I know.

In my experience, as my mother is a graphic designer and has taught me many things, it is generally a mistake to use more than two fonts in a piece of graphic design. Even that is, I think, kind of pushing it. Especially because it is such a small banner. I think you should try to work with just one font; I don't think these three work together very well, and I agree with kitty that the color doesn't seem to match the dark GF theme very well.

It is a nice banner, just giving some advice from my own experience :)

Personally, I like it. I like it a lot. Heed Muffincat's advice, too.

Hiya, Muffincat, that is such a great advice. Actually, it's just my idea putting ,more 3 type of font. Just imagine if I put only 1 kind of font. :P

Hiya GrandMoff, thank you man.

The 'Gamers' word font is awesome, I have it too it's called Birth of Hero am I right? But the Forum one is kinda empty... it would look way better if you changed the Forum Font to the same as in .com

Ya you right it's Birth of Hero.

And by the way, If you think that it's kinda looks empty, it's what peeps called as minimalism. :D

I don't think that three different fonts next to each other at once is very... minimalist?

What I meant to say is that your banner here does not demonstrate stylistic features minimalism.

Nice job!

One suggestion is perhaps putting the ground in front of the tube, just so it flows better.

Minimalism? New word for me :P Does that means like a simple image or painting?

I don't know how to explained but it's something that is so white, pure, simple, nice, blending, empty, minimal minimal that how can I explained it.

One example of minimal thingi. Wallpapers on #custompad - deviantART (http://custompad.deviantart.com/gallery/?set=25764586&offset=216#/d2vqhh1)

The wallpaper is very minimal

It's about clean lines, space, and attention to simplicity over excessive design.

Now that in itself is a minimalistic response :p
