It's my first time really ...so can someone tell me if it's decent size, color, blends well etc? I do see a slight mistake already .... But yeah, I'm thinking I should have made the height smaller as well .... Opinions?

Oh, and is it smart to add borders to markers/buttons? If so, should the border relatively be the same color, or just like black?

I would say the size is fairly adequate, however they might look more effective if they where a bit longer. I would generally suggest about 120 pixels x 30 pixels for the size of your graphics. I would also recommend using more effective shapes, like those in the buttons here at the TZ because boxes can get very repetitive if used often.

I think on the button you've created, you should make the text more obvious, because the text is after all, what the whole point of the button is about. The scanlines should also be a bit more subtle (so I would recommend lowering the opacity of them), so that the gloss effect looks more realistic.

Keep practicing though. :)

I'm also not too fond of the white square in the bottom corner or the lack of a solid stroke, but keep practicing :D .

It seems a bit flat in my opinion, and the scanlines are a bit too heavy.

Yeah like I said, I don't really like this one ... and right after I posted it I made a button that looked way better in my opinion at least ....

Thank you for the feedback. :)
