My banners for Whedon Elite Challenge 113
Congratulations to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fassy, rua1412 and sietepecados on their gorgeous entries!
Banners after the cut:
(Teaser)
The theme was "concealed" - a face had to be concealed by an object (hand, hair, etc), and I extended the theme with one of the final images from "Anne", when Buffy's face is half-revealed as Joyce opens the front door. The plain space of the door was a perfect field for text, but I added a woodgrain texture and let part of it cover Buffy's face as well, so she's concealed twice-over in the image. The woodgrain on her face looks more like a torn piece of gauze curtain.
I think I'm getting faster at these - I knocked them out in a night; the hardest part was not the textures or the text but the frames around the icons themselves. I wanted a touch of "elegance" in the frames and font style to contrast the coarse woodgrain.

I really like it but I forget to use it sometimes. I was actually thinking about the other banners I used woodgrain for when I started this (the purple glow woodgrain banners for SS and 20in20) I need to go deeper into all those nature photos I've taken. I like the contrast of very soft filters and rough woodgrains.
That seems to be a stylistic theme in my work, "contrasts".
