So, since I currently have Photoshop class, that means I get to cheat! So here's the progress I've done on a Banner so far; So, which is better? Any suggestions on how I can make said better version better? Etc. Also here's the render I used, which I did myself.

I believe the second image is of better quality and gives a stronger image of your skills. The text is quite hard to read in both however, and at first glance I thought it might be in symbols. I might suggest darkening the background up a bit or not giving it so much texture, the focus seems to be falling off of your render and onto the backdrop.
All in all, nice work.

Yeah, I have to agree. The design is nice, but the text is hard to read in both of the images.
Also, damn you for having access to a working photoshop program, DS. :V

The last word is still really hard to read... I might suggest moving your character off center to the left side and making your text smaller, still on a diagonal, from the edge of your character to the lower right corner. I'd be interested to see if that comes out more...readable.

I only find the first letter in Phantasia hard to read, as it blends in with the character's face.

I wanted to touch up the way the render blended, so I did. This'll be my final version;

Jup, working on another one. If you have any suggestions on how to improve it, do tell.

Eeeeeh. Can't read the text at all. And I didn't even notice there was a character until I was typing this. Bring the character out a little more and make the text more definitive. Also, you should know, that vertical text is generally hard on the eyes. Especially that much of it in one place. Much as we'd like to be, we're not Japanese, so vertical text or "hotel text" can be somewhat painful. Don't change that yet though. Just mess with the other two things. I'd like to see it that way first.

Still straining to read the text. Try something that isn't quite so...smushed.
