That's how I came up with the name "Accidental Design." I made an interesting image by accident. I think it was the first time I used the unsharp mask filter on really high settings.

It looks a lot like a clouds filter then a chrome and then a radial blur to me. You came up with it in a different way, but that's cool. Hey, try using a gaussian blur of 3 pixels, or maybe 4, and then going to edit>fade gaussian blur and set the blending mode to "lighten." It wouldn't really go well with this kind of image, but it's just a really interesting effect.

I'd personally reccomend using osmething other than the same font for the bottom part, it's asking for an italic or cursive font.

I really like the swirling effect with the character. Personally I liked the first image you made better. The turquiose one. I agree that it would be better with a little more blue but I think you added too much blue. It's suprising how much the Mario guy does actually look likes his being swirled into a whirlpool. Good effects.

Ya man, the blue is way better. The green was too intense. The image is super smooth and I like how Mario is getting sucked in. Pretty slick man. What program do you use to make your banners? I definately want to learn how to do that.
