I would like to show you some of my headers/banners which I designed for my internet friend.

This one is my todays work. I used the the Jolie tutorial to make the reflection effect

Nina, those are all outstanding. Excellent work!

Well done, nunulka!!

very nice... love the last one....

you def made good use of Jolie's tut! That gives it a nice professional look.

I had a look through your links to see these banner the other day. The mountain banner looked even better on the site itself. One little footnote. I wouldn't have given the skier a drop shadow. Not it looks like the sky is a blue screen. You have to look carefully though, my first impression was that it looked great. But it's something to remember for next time.

I also really love the romantic tub one.

The broken chain one looks really cool too.

All of them do!

Thanks to all for your opinions. I am happy you like my headers.

Also thanks to you Jolie. I will remember it for next time. I am happy to learn from you and I hope I can improve my design skills.

I designed one more version of the Site Showcase header and my friend used it for his site.

Today I designed this header. What do you think? Is it better to keep the bubbles with the drop shadow or without?
Please zoom the headers to see it better.

I really prefer them without the drop shadow. They seem to have a white border around them that I think should be black or dark blue, too. JMO.

Without the bubbles look like they're in the water. With, some (not all) look to be in front of the water.

Great banner. Fish does really look like it's in the water!

Now I moved the bubble layer under the upper water layer. Does it look better?

Outstanding work they are brilliant. I particularly like the the England one.

some of the bubbles look like they are in the water and some dont. also, I am thinking of aquaculture as something outdoors for fish farming and outdoor ponds (our pond is 1/3 acre and has bass and catfish in it)...not sure a goldfish is appropriate, maybe a Koi, a carp, or a bass? Unless, of course, they do actually raise goldfish for fishtanks.

If you used bubble brushes, there are loads of bubble brushes on deviant art. So you could experiement with different ones and see which looks best.

No Jolie, I used this tutorial I found on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7V9E7wZGnBE
I think I will download some of the bubbles packages.

Just I have to change the fish as it is really not a fish used in farms. The problem is I can´t find a farm fish with transparent background or at least white one.

I had to change the fish to another one as a goldfish isn´t really for farming. I used a bubble brush I download from Devian Art and put some plants and added bevel.

Nice! I like those bubbles better.

Happy you like it, O!

That looks really good!
