:O My biggest art contest (and probably my biggest ever unless I ever decide to leave Gaia xd ) which...admittedly isn't that big compared to some, but it's important to me as it's to help with my final essay for my university degree. ^^ I would actually really appreciate any advice anyone might have on this idea.

I would suggest either dimming down the contrast in the background, or changing the text colour so it doesn't blend in with it so well.
My eye completely skims over that banner and has no interest in dwelling on it, on account of it's just so busy. The word "ILLUSTRATION" is easy enough to read once I actually look at it, but the rest of it, that states it's an art contest and what the prizes are...
It's good that part is so short, because if it were longer, it would be too annoying to have to read. Like, I really have to focus on the banner to make sense of what it says.
Maybe is just me who has this problem with it, but I think a banner shouldn't be designed that way.

I was talking about the contest itself.

I am aware of that. However, most people would find out about your contest via a banner, and if the banner is unappealing and difficult to read, nobody is going to click on it because they won't care to read what it is a banner for.

^^ I think it comes down to personal tastes what people will and won't click. But I do agree with you about how busy it is, I would have liked a more muted background for it and to see 'art contest' in slightly bigger letters, but given that she made it for free I was hardly going to complain. xd Plus I do like the eye. To be honest, I usually end up getting a few different banners anyway. whee Edit: Okay, I chopped up the banner to try and improve it. 3nodding I think this looks a little easier on the eyes now.
