Hi All,

Just did a small banner for my Blog (http://chakkaradeep.wordpress.com/). Nice to have your reviews

Thanks :)

You've used some nice graphics there - well done. I feel it's a little 'bitty' at the moment; perhaps simplifying it would help.

Nice job! Overall I like the effect. It's easy to get a quick idea of what your blog is about with a header like this. Two points I would address:

1) Fonts: The letter "n" in "Corner" is looking pretty bad in that font, as if someone sat down on it. The font below it looks like Comic Sans, which in some areas will get you arrested. :) http://lmnop.blogs.com/lauren/2006/10/americas_most_f.html

2) Gradient: The contrast in the background gradient is pretty heavy. Check out this tutorial. http://9rules.com/blog/2006/08/a-gradient-tutorial/

A gradient is not the ideal tool for displaying information hierarchy, so I would suggest making the gradient much more subtle and altering the transparency of the logotype at left in order to make the most important message stand out more.

Thanks for sharing your work - nice job of it.

try to make more web2 looks with gradients and simplified graphics. it's too messy for meh.

The arrangement of the icons and logos are too clumsy it can do better if it is lightened
