New Channel Artwork For All of My Channels

I made new channel artwork for all of my channels, which can be viewed below. Let me know what you guys think. If there's anything that looks as though it needs work I have editable files saved, so changes will be easy to make.

I use paint.net and I made all of the elements for each image myself, including the background. The skulls are actually photos I took of sugar skulls we own that I've converted into images.

You made this using paint.net? Wow, you must be a pro then

Haha. Thanks. You can download plugins to make paint.net better and more usable.

I've had a lot of experience with the program, that's all. I've been using it for at least 6 years, although I've grown as a designer in the past two years because of my role at school newspapers and having to make graphics for articles and pages. That, and video tutorials stick with me so the more I watch the more I retain and can do on my own.

I would have preferred to use In Design and Photoshop, but I only have access to those programs at the college and at work. In Design is my favorite for making graphics.
 
puts my **** into perspective compared to this its nothing...ahah

Your channel doesn't look bad, and your thumbnails are better than most that I've seen on YouTube. Once again, I suggest watching a bunch of tutorials and messing around with different programs. Many of the graphics I end up making are the results of accidents or just messing around with new tools and trying new things. For the past month I've redone each channel's artwork probably 10 times.

That looks really good. Dang. Only thing I would suggest is making the text "pop" a bit more on the screen, and go a bit easier in detail with the background, but still, that look amazing.
