I just made 2 banner and I can't decide which on to use.

Second one cuz its simpler and has less going on. The firstone is way too crowded.
But I would say that you should work on the presentation of your banner. Anyone can make a collage, why not try and personalize it?
(Or you can go short and sweet like my kick butt sig XD )

I agree with Hatch, the first one is too crowded.
Use the second.

make it smaller too....smaller banners usually look nicer (sleek and sexy like small cell phones :P)....also you may wanna fade out the two ligers...that way it's a lot easier on the eyes....if you dont know how this is what you do to get it to look my sig..(BTW, the only reason why my sig is big is because it's an ad and i need people to actually SEE it...
take the layer you want to fade out...set it to 70% opacity and 90% fill
go to Layer > Layer Styles > Blending Options and check DropShadow, InnerShadow, and Satin...then click ok...
then it'll be better...

Second less busy? A Geno breaker Jet, Liger Zero, Blade Liger, and Gun SNiper versus a Liger Zero and Blade Liger with a BL in the background??? You think the second is less busy?? *shakes head*
The one with the Liger Zero and Blade Liger is fine... Four Zoids is too many.. And they don't go well together at all... the Gun SNiper is out of place and the Geno Breaker Jet's color amkes it hard to see when the others are colorful. Lycan

no, actually the 1st one is way more crowded...i took a class in photography so i know this stuff...see how the sides seem so empty? and also the two object's heads are too close....making it uneasy on the eyes as they must concentrate rather than simply gaze...i know...it seems cool to show the whole zoid but in reality, cropping is your friend...so crop as much as you can...look at my avatar...much of Zero's body is cropped as well as the top of his hair but the eyes are centered along the imaginary line that divides the top two thirds...

My opinion: The both are just as bad.
Recommendation: Use the second one. ^^

Alright, hows this

or maybe this

Ok now the first one. Mostly because I can make out whats in it. (and I like the cyan in the BG)
But the second one is pretty cool. ^^ (the gradient on the ege isnt very smooth... 256 color? *checks if gif* yeah, 256.. .if you saved the file in a program format like psd or psp (like any good designer should) bring it back up and save it as a png or a jpg @ 1%.
