So i return after a long time of being gone from this section of the forums now not all of you know but im a huge fan of the Metro series and i was like hey this forums doesn't have any Metro banners and so i made one enjoy.

I like this one! It looks good! The font fits nicely with the background image, but it's still got a lot of stretching with the background.

Very nice banner. I like the distressed font. Fits perfect to the image. As The New Skynet already said, its streched a lot. I would reduce the streching on the character. Better to keep it as default as possible. Instead you could try to strech the left part more.

But i have a question how do i get the image to normal size but not stretch it as much?

When using a background image for a banner to avoid the stretching this is what I do. Instead of trying to use the whole image and squeezing it to fit the 900 x 200 dimensions, just cut out a section of the image that you think would work well and use that.
The portion you cut out doesn't have to be exactly 900 x 200 but it should keep the same scale such as 1800 x 400, 2400 x 600, 3600 x 800 and so on.
Then when you resize the final banner you get a nice, non-squished, non-stretched image.

Two Banners from me. Assassins Creed 3 and Nuka-Cola

@VeteranAlpha96 - i edited your banner so you can see what i have done, to reduce the streching of the character.

Very nice Cruz I love that Nuka Cola banner it's awesome!

So i come back with some more banners guys and i made improvments and i was able to not stretch it as much, these are some of the games which will be coming out soon hope you enjoy.

Here is where it ends but i made one more banner from one of Bethesdas games

Some definite improvements to the sizing and I like the images you chose for your banners. On the third banner (Rainbow Six Siege I think?), the font used is a bit plain. Maybe experiment a little and see if there's a font that you really like that adds some flair to the banner. Other than that, some nice work good job.

Good work Alpha. My favorite is the second one. Mad max i think. To the third one - i would make the letters bigger and place them behind the heads. You know what i mean? So that the half of the letters is behind the heads. Gives the whole thing a little 3d feeling.

If you guys are still accepting... I made this.



Sorry, can't help it.

@OakshieldDream - i like the first and the third. Nice work with the fonts.
The second one is too much streched. The image is nice but try too keep the middel of the image as default as possible. If you have to strech the image then do it on the left and right side of the picture. Try to work with duplicate the image and overlay it. Rub the parts out that dont match.

Anyway good job.

I nearly finished work on this only to discover that I did most of it in the wrong aspect ratio, so parts of it had to be cut off to get it to 900x200.

Everyone's Favorite Hat Simulator:

FYI, the stretching is caused by the original screenshot being taken with a high FOV.

I hope someone hasn't made a Hitman one already.
Here we go, a really simple one.

P.S. I'm a graphic and web designer RL so if anyone needs something done, hit me up fam.

Did a little visual tweaking of one of my previous banners. Only some slight lighting adjustments but I think it improves the overall image.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Banner:

@OakshieldDream - your latest banners are awsome. i like the second one best. very good solution to put more images together to avoid streching.

@Praefect - i like the image you choose for the hitman banner very much. but the font doesnt fit to it. its too simple. perhaps the hitman font would match better.

@Drayce128 - the lighting adjustments are much better now. i mean i liked the previouse too, but now its much better. reminds me on game of thrones, i dont know why. good job.

after hours of trying and watching tutorials i learned how to make flaming Letters hehe here is the result.

banner:

here is a link to the tutorial

Thank you for the praise Cruz and I must say your new banner is absolutely amazing! The flaming text looks so real, you did tremendous work.

With regards to Praefect's banner, I do believe he is using the font from the NEW Hitman game being developed by Square Enix.
Here is a promotional image:

Since my last banner submission failed to garner any attention, here is a different TF2 banner, with a different shot at a lower FOV, and text reduced in size and tweaked to look more like the official TF2 logo.

Spoiler:

This edit has the corner behind the engineer cut out because I felt like doing that for some reason. Just putting it here for consideration. Not really going for anything specific on it.
