My banner.

This is a banner for my website. How do you like it?

the text is hard to read, make it more apparent and less horizontally stretched.. cant read either parts of the text

I think you would be better off making it brighter.

come on people thats quite harsh. i agree with both of you but not totaly! the text needs some work and the image is quite dark but you can use its "darkness" to contrats with bright text may be some type of glow. make the text a bit bigger and may be a clearer font .im taking it your a newbie. but i like the design. well done

I cannot read the text AT ALL. You really need to fix that - I would recommend using a brighter colour, and also make the font larger or consider using a font which is easy to read at that size. Same goes for the text underneath.

I do like the background though and can not suggest anything to change there

i like the background but then red text doesnt mix with the rest of the banner and the microsoft windows logo is too dark, other than that its really good

i dont think he cares
