Is My Banner Any Good?!

I've Got It
So with the new youtube layout and everything, I decided I would give some time into learing a bit about GFX and start making myself some, so I just whipped up my channel header, and I just want some opinions on it, how I can improve etc, this is my first real expierece with this sort of editing work, so be honest any ways I can improve it, would be greatly appricated!:)
 
In my opinion, I would change the font and the colours because it's pretty difficult to read the username and to change the lines going around the username to be going behind it instead of in front because it obstructs some of the letters. But it's not too bad, I'm liking the pokemon characters on there! :p
 
It is very nice and is good but i can barely read the text because of that font so i would highly suggest you change that.
Aight bro ill work on it, thanks for the input!:)[DOUBLEPOST=1366229330,1366229247][/DOUBLEPOST]

Thanks for the input man!:) I've got some work to do then xD and hellz yeah pokemon is the s**t!:D
 
Sup:p and im using photoshop!:)
Okay great :)
So:
1st - I am going to start with the background of the banner
- It is really boring and ugly, it doesnt really go with the rest of the banner (those pokemons and stuff)
-The colors, you should add more colors to it girl! Colors are beautifull and warm, and nice to watch :D So yeah use colors, not grey and dark blue and dark green X)
-It doesnt look clean, maybe because of all the clouds, try to make a simple background like a gradient of 2 colors, if you dont know how to do a gradient google it, you will probably find a tuturial hihi

- So yeah, more colors, clean it up a bit, and make nice to look at :)
2nd - Those renders
- So, those pokemon renders you used are not good, or at least dont look good, always try to find high quality renders :)
- Dont use the full render, like, they are really small, and that doesnt look good, you should always focus on the top of the render, and try to make the renders look bigger, dont put them so small ;)
3rd - The text
- Oh the text, the font you chose is really bad, its hard to read, it should never be hard to read, it is just terrible, change the Font! There are so many good fonts at dafont X)
- The colors, the colors you choose, are not the best, you should only stick with one color, or a set of similar colors (red/orange)(blue/purple)
4rth - That neon line
- I really like what you where going to do with it, and props for you for being able to play with layers XD I couldnt do that at the beggining X) But that line just looks ugly, like it should have more color coming out of it, maybe go to: Layer > Layer Style > Outer glow, and add a color to your glow X) It will look better

5th - The blending
- Dont know if you know what i mean with this word, but its how it all goes together, it looks bad, different colors and that stuff. So use gradient maps (once again google it), gradient maps are a great way of adding color to a banner,

So, watch some tuturials, you will get the hang of it really fast :) But good work for a 1st try, mine was a lot worse X)
 
Yeah looks fine mate, the only problem i have is this new youtube channel layout i hate it, but your banner is pretty well made.
 
Its alright. I'm not digging the rainbow stroke thing. And word to the wise, I would remove the naked ladies in your intro. Might get you in trouble.
