Working on a banner, 2 foot wide, 5 foot tall, for use as a display at events to publicize my photo biz.

This is still a work in progress, but i;d like some feedback on making it better.

I do mostly weddings, but want more HS seniors. This banner will be diplayed in my studio, and at a humane society event that i have a booth at (to promote pet and kid/pet christmas photos) and at the pet photos (8 days in november). If i can get into a bridal show it'll go there too.

Looks good so far...here are my opinions:

1. the three staggered photos and the photo at bottom right should have thin black borders.

2. The bride at bottom left is missing part of her arm.

3. it may look more sleek if it was all black instead of the gradient. I would probably like to see both to compare. If you do an all black then those pictures I said should have borders should have white borders obviously.

It looks very professional - those are just things I would like to see.

Yeah, the bride is quickie cutout to see if i like it. I do.
the middle pic is repeated, and will be replaced with a senior guy shot from tonight's session.

black lines..i can see that.

all black..hmmm. what about all white? The guy printing this for me has an epson and is using silk and i'm not sure he can do a full bleed (i'm waiting for a response on that) and if he can't then i have to rethink a bit.

i like how the cut out girl sits on the gradient and how the bride at the bottom sits on the other gradient. i'm thinking of yeat another at the top to offset the web name a bit. not sure it that will balance it or make it too busy.

the photo on the bottom right - i've thought of making it look framed, matted and framed maybe.

what about shadows on the middle 3 pics?

All white may look good also but I don't know if the action level will drop and just make it look plain.

I think shadows are way overused and I would stay away from them. It's kinda like glowing text. It doesn't scream professional.
