Re: Banner Collage

It's pieced together rather well, but the distribution of color is, for lack of a better word, horrible. Here's what a simple gradient map can do for something like this:

The colors used in the map aren't all that important... but notice how your eye can now move around the image without getting stuck in the right partition?

Re: Banner Collage

Thanks. You are right, the eye does get stuck in the right partion, however i'm not sure if a gradient map is what i'm after, I mean it does work but I don't really just want a single color tone / hue. I sort of want the various colors to stand out a little, but maybe not as much as they already do... But yeah i'll definitely look into that so thanks alot, i'll post it again when I have updated it and maybe you could tell me what you think, cheers.

Re: Banner Collage

Yar... I didn't actually mean that you should use a gradient map, since you have the original, layered document and all. I was going to point that out earlier, but didn't for some reason.


Looking forward to the updated version.

Re: Banner Collage

Ok, I haven't really done too much to the banner except made a color curve to give it a richer, darker / more bearable feeling. Its a little better. Anyway the site is just about setup at this temp address:
