Here you go. The Text sucks, you can barely read them, and I think borders on the top left and bottom right image would help.

Don't yell, you asked about suggestions.

Before you say anything, this is the first thing I have done in Photoshop CS, and its the first time in about a year I tried anything like this.

But I made thsi simple Banner to show what oyu might want to try.

I put a Black border on the whoel outside, then with the color theme I had going at the time(black and white, really basic lmao), I put a small White line inside the Black. I used the white line to mainly seperate the upper left box and hte lower right box. I then jstu used that black and white on the text that was selected, makign 2 of the same thing, giving it a shadow look. Nothing complex, and rather simple, but it has the essentials, shows what the site is for, and easy to read. If I had soem font fiels besides default, it woudl had looked better. Also, if it matters, I woudl drop the FOrums part unless its a direct link to the forums, but then agian you coudl drop the FORUMS text, or make it small and move it.

Well... if I may. Yours is much better Savanna.

Sorry TT, but ya know. Gotta point out a fact. But still, the way the two images in the corners are... they offset. Blend them in more and have the same basic boarder shape. If you know what I mean.

Ty, but it not a cometition, and the Font I used I think sucks to hell. Photoshop CS default Fonts are to boring, need to find something better.
