Nice use of colors. I might have put the horizon line ánd towers somewhat lower so you can give some more space to the name of the serie and somewhat more under the name of the movie. Imo a bit too much happens above now while under it's a bit too empty. Good luck!

Mike may have a point. Also, I think the cast list would look better without the commas (and I think I'd add John Cazale, pity he died so young...). Good luck!

Nice one, maybe you can make the text "Is it safe" in the same color as the top of the background from the poster, so you can read it a bit better and there may be nice repetition of color. Good luck!

Funny idea, but perhaps you can put the face options left under? After all it's all white there, while on the right side you cover her arm. Good luck!

Although karaflazz mentions some nice options, I do like this version. For me no problem that the focus is on the cheese, the glass shape and color gives enough indication that we deal with wine. The red background is also fine, with the blurry glass it almost becomes one, but still enough to see what's what and gives the photo something extra to the cheese (like cheese with wine mood, dunno how to explain). Also the close framing with left the wine and right the cheese works well. maaaaybe the front part could do with some more highlights so it repeats with the backparts (light reflection in the glass), but that would be it imo. Good luck!

Nice idea, pretty funny result but 2 suggestions. First, imo the blending from the star fish to the hands and feet can be a bit more smoothly if you'd softly use some more of the star fish texture on the hands, etc. Second, the quality of the star fish image is soso around the edges (more blurry) that also affects the star fish itself. In case yu'd be able to find a sharper image, the added hands (which are all also sharp) ill fit better with the background (or if you want, make the hands as blurry as the background). Good luck!

Looks pretty ok, but it would be nice if you'd do something about the quality of the planet in the right corner. The pixelated quality doesnt do justice to the rest of your well crafted image, imo. Good luck (and nice to see you again!)!

As a poster it looks pretty nice, but not sure how this would work as cover. The name The Eye will be also big on top of the image, so it would be double. Perhaps instead of THE EYE 3 you can write something else that's typical for Arnoldi? Also, would be nice if you could describe what you took from his work or style that made you create your design.
Good luck!

The EYE

I agree with erikuri, there's a subtle but nicely done difference that just makes her old enough. Perhaps you could give her some more eyeliner and I'd recommend to make her nose (the bridge) somewhat larger (and with that perhaps also make the whole face a bit larger). Good luck!

Not bad, but I think I prefer step 6 or 8 from your SBS, they look more natural though the wrinkles on the forehead are certainly a nice effort. Good luck!

Miss 30 years
avatar wazowski
wazowski says:

Certainly not bad, I do think she has grown up features in the face but maybe some points to improve.
For a grown up she has huge front teeth, if you can make them some smaller (or perhaps close her mouth more, then they'd be better in proportion with her face.
Her chin, go back to he original chin and remove some from the (little bit of) double chin from the girl. Try not to make the edges too blurry, the way she has her head, you'd see a more sharp contour around the chin. Lastly is her body. If you see your original pic, the head is higher, the way you put the head makes it look like she misses a neck and instead it's put straight on the shoulders. I'd put her face more on the place from the original photo and if needed make her hair longer to cover the original hair or just blend the yong girl's har with the older hair. Good luck!

Say Your Prayers
avatar wazowski
wazowski says:

For some reason reminds me a bit of Donnie Darko . Perhaps I'd make the guy's shadow a tiny bit darker and give the suite a little bit of yellow photofilter. If you want you can give the guy a tiny blur (you can experiment easier with it if you make a smart object from the head and body) and also add a layer (with blending overlay) with some tiny grain noise, so it fits better with the quality of the background photo. Good luck!

EDIT: good improvement imo

Nice combination of elements (rose that comes back as illustration in the clock), but personally I would make the rose in the foreground as sharp as the rest so that it looks more like the rose and clock belong to each other. Good luck!

Paper Miffy
avatar wazowski
wazowski says:

Funny idea with toys coming alive (and then using Woody, nice wink), but imo it's a bit too hard to see that the TS characters are actually printed on paper (maybe the perspective and reflection from the dolls also have to do with that), though I can understand that this way it's also harder to distinguish the real from the fake world and want to confuse the viewer with that. However, I'd make the character in the back a biiiit less saturated and also copy-paste the paper texture from the TS characters source over the dolls so that you have to look closer to see the difference between the 2 worlds. Just my opinion . Good luck!

Good idea, nice thinking. The presentation of the book looks good, the text is believable. If possible, you could carefully mask the area around where the fingers hold the book a bit more (I see some light outline left and a dark outline right). But for the rest well done! Good luck!

Simple
avatar wazowski
wazowski says:

This banner has certain potentional. Likely the most eye-catching (literary) are the eyes (girl looks at you, so you look back). Also the color combination is not bad, though perhaps "PXLEyes.com" could be better readable (maybe bit more contrast with the background) the logo isnt red, but I understand that you wont wanna have the whole image blue, so I guess that could be possible as you have it now. The thing with the use of color is that there's only red on the left side, maybe some red in the right side could make it more like a whole. Is this a general banner or special for PS contests? If it's special for PS, then I'm curious what you'd put there in the right shape. Good luck!

Although not a must (accordng to the contest goal), I'd add the Pxl logo too so that the site ts easier to be recognized. And I'd change "sipmle" into "simple" . Good luck!

RE WOW!
avatar wazowski
wazowski says:

As said above, nice use of colors. They're bright without being overdone, looks professional. As a serie the banners are not bad, eventhough you used different solutions for each of the banners, the colors and use of texture brings them together. What you could do is put the logo always on the same place and perhaps use a same way to show what contest you want to advertise (i.e. the way you put the PS contest can also be done for the others). I like it that you put that photoshop window in a same direction as the text, I kinda miss that in the other banners. The whole setup from the PS banner (logo left, texture as background, diagonal text for the contest in the middle and in the right an image) could work for all, and you kind of did it but with some of them it works better than the others (example, for the 3D banner you illustrated the 3D part in the text itself instead of an extra image, is a different solution than the rest). Not that I dont like each of them, it certainly has potentional. It's more up to you what you'd like as serie. Ow, and I certainly agree with greymval about the camera, a real image would increase the power of the banner a lot. Good luck!

pxl banners
avatar wazowski
wazowski says:

Not bad, but the logo straight on a blue background doesnt work well imo. It needs more contrast or you'd hardly be able to see it (while it should be one one of the more important elements in the banner). The icons are ok, I'd recommend a better aligning inbetween the icons. I'm not completely sure about the tagline, since there are also photographers and perhaps they dont see themselves as graphic artists. And well, I'd add a "s" to artist. Good luck!

wazowski says:

Nice way to illustrate about that there are drawing contests, however, I as viewer barely have a clue what site you'd mean. Of course there's a Pxl-logo, but for me there wouldnt ring a bell by then. Also, though that's personal, I'd leave the logo untouched (so not with a filter) and add something else that the hand is painting (who knows, maybe the text "drawing contests". What I also miss is a link between the left part and the text right, they're too different from each other imo. A solution would be to add something in the background that connects the elements on the foreground. Good luck!

Contests
avatar wazowski
wazowski says:

Funny playing with the logo, url and tagline. You used different solutions for each of the sizes, but thanks to the consistent use of background they still can be seen as a whole. Also, the background is light and subordinate to the more important logo and text, which get the full attention. I dont know well what I'd expect if I didnt know the site, however "for pixel addicts" should be the trigger for the more graphic minded people. Personally I dont think that all the designs work as well (if it's about composition and eyecatcher to click further) but others like the big one left and the 2nd from right under certainly have potentional. Overall interesting collection, I'd say make some more . Good luck!
