Banner 1,3,6,10 are great! Rest of them are also OK.
But I want to say something about No. 5, “Pop-art,” It’s a nice one when you add the title “pop-art” but when you add it as a E-Bangladesh banner, I think it does not go well. I was shocked to see so many guns and bullets on the title banner that has the word “Bangladesh” on it! The first thing that came to my mind is, “Are they representing Bangladesh with guns!” So, please make sure that the “pop-art” is represented clearly as “pop-art.” Some other guys like me might get confused.
Banner 4 is electrifying and 6 is my love. But the so called pop art gone over my head. I need some explanation to grasp the meaning in real sense. Continue the good work and best of luck.
