Cleaning up the hard drive

I hate it when my folders get out of control, which they were doing, so I sat down and made myself finish these so they can go into my Posted folder. I might be a little type-A. hahah

Anyway, two of these are from when I first started dinking around with banners. I think it's pretty obvious which those are. hahah And let's all have a giggle over my questionable idea of putting five Spikes on one banner, though I admit it's hard to tear your eyes away from Punk!Spike, who's all Grrr! and neck snappy. That should be a turn off, yet...so totally not. I just won't put "soulless killers" on my Playboy playmate bio sheet under Likes. Also, I've realized I may like soft glowy blobs of light a little too much. I'm going to have to watch that I don't overuse it.

Enough with boring you with my wacky thought processes. I get rambly before bed, sorry. Banners under the cut. Like something? Let me know! Have a suggestion for something I could do better? Bring it on! I love learning from mistakes. :)

Three banners, Spike and JM.








I'm not sold on the first two, but I adore the third. See above, Re: soft glowy blobs. Also, I totally dig the shadow/cut out effect. Something else I need to keep an eye on overdoing.

And because I was feeling silly, I turned the first one into a Friends Only banner. Mostly because I've been dying to use the font. hahah

Aww, thank you! Maybe I'm my own worst critic. haha You're absolutely right about not needing those two floating heads at the top. I'll fiddle with it when I get some time. I know what you mean, though, it seems counter-intuitive that there could be too many Spikes. . . lol

The writing comes from a texture from a set by [livejournal.com profile] careforpears : distressing news texture set and the font in the friends only picture is Impact label, Regular

Lord, I hope that html worked. I hate it, I really really do. hahaha
