Could you guys rate it, it's obviously not the best as its the first i've done and the channel art boundries are hard to work with but honestly, i've learned alot tonight (how to get rid of the f*****g white background in pictures) and i'm proud of it :)[DOUBLEPOST=1369780230,1369780084][/DOUBLEPOST]Bare in mind i'm the type of person who's self portrait in art turns out looking like hitler, so art isn't my strong point
 
It looks good. Very simplistic.

However... here it comes :). There are still some black outlines on the twitter logo. You should get rid of them and it looks like the Facebook and twitter logo isnt the same size.

Also...... There is no use in having a subscribe button or logos like that since you can't link through the banner.

If I were you I'd get rid of them and just let people focus on the name of your channel instead. Use the built it link features to link to FB and Twitter.

Thanks guys, and yeah i noticed, because of the pointy part of the twitter logo the fuzzy tool was having trouble getting rid of some of the lines, and even though i can't link anything i thought it would be a better alternative to nothing at least, the full thing had game characters from all the games i love and stuff like that, but turns out that was too large, and wouldn't have fit in the little channel art box anyway, to get the background i searched "mellow channel art background pictures", and scrolled a couple of pages down :)
 
Not a big fan of the twitter/facebook logos and the subscribe buttons. Those would have worked with links on the old layout but are redundant here. The avatar shouldn't really be the same as the banner and it doesn't stand out from it.
 
The background image is nice, But i would put a gradient overlay on the main text
Look up Rob Sterlini, He has some very good tutorials on manipulating Social Networking Icons to look very, very nice
You might also want to remove the subscribe button, and maybe change it out for some small text underneath the main one?

Just a thought

I've had an idea, as my avatar i should have a cartoon-ified version of my face, problem is, how would i get one, any idea who made yours?
