So, previously, I had created a banner inspired by the Hufflepuff House in Harry Potter, mainly because I was helping out on an RP forum with some friends and Hufflepuff is "my" house.   Well, last night, I got inspired to continue those style banners, with the rest of the Houses:    I intentionally didn't use any of the phrasings that are listed in the books that describe the Houses, choosing to use quotes about the specific animal that represents the house instead, with the exception of Ravenclaw, where I just used a general quote about wisdom.  I know there may not be many HP fans here, but if anyone has any feedback, I'd appreciate it!  |

Those are awesome ✶April✶ !! Really well done, they look great. very clean and professional looking. nice colors. i like how you applied them. Thank you both!!  I'm really happy with how these turned out. I was having slight issues with the Slytherin background, had to remake it from scratch like three times.  And it ended up being my favorite, so it was worth it. |

I'm a harry potter fan but im not a harry potter extremist lol Making 1 thing can be hard making 4 things can be harder making 4 things that go together is hardest. Luckily for you the marrying of the images is fairly easy to due for the fact the franchise has provided some of the connections, Unfortunately this means your most toughest critics will be extremist of the franchise. What I like:
- The backgrounds They exist but they do not interfere with the focus
- Working outside of the box I myself have recently became fond of pushing an object outside of the "image" also the subtle shadow is a nice touch around the shield
- Unique fonts Consistent yet unique typeface works well it gives you the nod that yes all of these images belong together
- Size Overall size is perfect any larger you would have empty space that would require a more interesting background any smaller and you would have to issues with balancing the shield on a narrow bar
- Layout The layout stays consistent which is obviously a need to inform the audience that these are all within the same series and belong with each other

I'm the same as you in that aspect, Tony Hates Everything , in that I'm a fan but definitely not an extremist. And thank you for that in-depth review! It means a lot to me. The fonts are always the hardest for me and where I spend most of my time, because I have so many of them and sometimes it's difficult to find that truly perfect one that goes with the rest of the graphic, so I'm happy that they came across as unique yet still consistent. |

Reminds me of something a coworker did with the kids we work with. Made houses using a Potter theme and had them compete. I was on Slytherin and of course we one. Second year in a row.
These are cool, wish they were around 8 months ago, would have made great banners for the bulletin board.

That sounds amazing NDX! I'm sure the kids had a blast too. Thank you. And sorry for the lateness! |
