Which banner do you prefer?

@CukiArtist said in Which banner do you prefer?:

speaking in my experience with cons most people never see the bottom of vertical banners

That's been my experience, too. My last banner was a very full illustration that took up the whole banner. A good 2/3 of it was hidden at all times behind the wall of people, or just me and my table

I would clear that top left corner of 1

Nice catch. I'll clean that up I tried the text the same colour as the gradient, but it was just a wee bit too light. I may try it again. I do like the idea

@Braden-Hallett I like the 1st one, but the 4th one is nice as well and probably the most striking?

I think I like the first one best as the white will probably stand out more on the floor. I mocked up a couple of options in Photoshop using the Vanishing Point filter in the Filter menu.

I found the original image to test with from this site:

@krisblack Oh wow! Thanks for doing that :smiling_face_with_open_mouth: Looking at it as it would be on the floor certainly puts it in perspective!

[krisblack]

No problem. Any time you can put a design in a mockup to show how it'll look in the real world is always a great way to help make design decisions.

I would agree that one of the final three are the best. The blue on white clouds for the first two were difficult to focus on. The third has some really nice simplicity. I personally think the logo near the bottom also helps balance the image, as simple as it is, but if this is going to be on a floor the logo might not even be visible.

The mock-up by @krisblack really helped me to also solidify my vote for #4.

1 and 3 look good. Well done for getting out and selling your art.

@Braden-Hallett I like one or two best. Love the color.

[ArtofAleksey]

Ooo that’s what you’re gonna be using it for. The second one will provide a little arch around you. Btw where are you ordering this from?

[braden H]

@RJWoodworth

Yup, that' logo's gotta be up high. Me (and the comicon crowd) will be standing in front of it.

[Coley]

I like the last three the best but they're all quite appealing!

[braden H]

@Aleksey I'm ordering from Vistaprint. I've had good results from them with business cards and banners.
