Quickie question...

[ash48]

Do you think having a graphic, as in a banner, enhances a fic or vid post? Do you think a banner makes a difference as to whether you would read or watch something?

Just curious..

Also. Not sure why. Lost and Gillian's Island. Just a thought.

Oooh and an art rec while I'm here: The Dicks It's ok. It's safe for work. :D It's fab art of the angels in SPN. Love it.

I think it does, yeah. It's like an advertisement - people see something shiny and they want to see the content, you know? Like, if the banner is well made and it shows the story in the video/fic it can nudge the readers/viewers to start watching/reading. But it's a two end thing - if the banner is not well made, or, even worse, it can spooke the readers or viewers. IMHO I always make banners for my videos, though not sure why lol I guess I just saw some vidders doing it before I started making my own videos and I thought like, making a banner for your video is a must. Kind of :P

And thanks for the rec! I especially loved John's face mmuhawhawhaw

Yes - I see it as an advertisement as well. I think it should give the viewer a "clue" as to what the content might be. I notice a lot of people are doing them and I am in the middle of trying to decide whether to have one for my next vid. Of course for me it's a pain because I can't make them myself...

so.. um, *koff* speaking of which... would you be in a position to make one if I decided to use one? Eek! I hate asking, I really do... but I thought I'd check. I know you'll let me know if you can't.
