Hello, i was looking to make a banner for the newspaper about my Trades. I worked in the Graphics designe and personalization industry for a wile ( couple of months ago ) and i was looking to create something of my own.

Here are the images i'am talking about :

Well, for starters, Comic Sans is a crime against humanity unless you’re Patchwork.


There’s so many colours everywhere that your eye doesn’t get drawn to anything to focus on. The 3 blocks on the left are completely lost and I cant tell what they say. Your fonts don’t pair well either but your main focus should be on layout and legibility first.

A lot of the time, real graphic design backgrounds (outside of manipulation work) are only really relevant here for text placement.


It’s.. colourful and bland. The rainbow effect is eye catching but the smaller text isn’t. A small timeline frame animation with alternating text would serve you better I think.


Maybe some background with gaussian blur or something would be more appealing than the grey. But probably tone it down so the text is fully readable.


The boarder around it for some reason just isn’t aesthetically pleasing to me. Feels comic sans era… oh wait.

Not knowing how to create animations :)

I'am looking for an experienced designer in the torn community to help get a designe done ( i pay )

It’s veeeery similar to Comic Sans, so I’ll keep my point. The fonts done suit each other at all. It’s hard to read with the colours and the background clashing. Nothing really stands out and the left side is almost illegible.


As for the suggestion to do an animation, you can do them on Canva as well if you’d like to do it yourself.


If you’re looking to hire a designer to assist, perhaps consider rewording your post as it reads as a CnC post where you want advice on improving it yourself.
