So I finally got off my butt and made a new blog banner to replace my 6-year-old crappy-ass one. This one accurately reflects that I am no longer in Cambridge, and moved to London and Southeast Asia, so maybe all those butthurt people who send me hate mail asking why my blog banner is so misleading will shut up now.
But I honestly can't tell whether it's good or not. So what do you think?
Is the new banner good? Bad? Ugly? Does it make you want to throw up, rip your hair out, put Justin Bieber's 'Boyfriend' on maximum volume on your radio and go into mass hysteria?
Let me know!
Nice. I'm digging it.
ReplyDeleteI like your banner. Bravo! And nothing wrong listening to Bieber! *baby baby baby ooohhhhhhh*
ReplyDeleteI like your new banner. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteAnd nothing wrong with Bieber songs! *baby baby baby oooohhhhh*
Erm the text is well set and the font is fine, i'm not sure why it's necessary to put cambridge in there, i mean aren't you qualified ? You're not one of those people you always ask others where they went to uni in the hope they'll ask you are you?
ReplyDeleteAlso the photos are good, but i'm perplexed as to why you put it through the bubble wrap filter in photoshop, you could just unsharpen mask or posterize or something. Do enjoy the post though :)
*GASP* It regenerated...

Sanstrousers: Aww thanks. I LOVE YOU LONG TIME! Seriously. My self-esteem was starting to get scarily Winehouse-ish there...
ReplyDeleteEMKAS: Aww I heart you too br-- wait, what are you singing? That sounds suspiciously like Ju-- AARGH GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME!!
ReplyDeletePhotoshop Master Anonymous: Wow you know your stuff. Thanks for the input. I gave it a second go, what do you think now?
ReplyDeleteAlso, no I kept the Cambridge motto because it's been on my old banner forever, and some people identify me by that. But HELL NO I never ever tell anyone in real life I went to Cambridge. Their expectations usually shoot sky-high and then come crashing down again when they realise all it means is I can use fucking Google Scholar like a boss but I can't even set a line properly cos I haz no clinical exposure.
Hoo boy. I feel another rant post coming up.
Prickatron: Dude you should blog. Totally. And yes, it regenerated. Too bad I'm still not ginger.
ReplyDeleteMs-Ellisa: OH NO NOT YOU TOO!!
ReplyDeleteBut otherwise awwwww, you're too kind...

ReplyDeleteAwww, you really think so? I don't think I'm gonna stand a chance with big fish like you around (my writing is not exactly Guardian Standard). I did try to make a blog once just for the jokes (you might see a remanent if you google me), but I think I'll stick to making up strange usernames to troll your blog instead (How did you know it was me?)
