This morning, I submitted my first unsolicited review for a published MLP Forums banner. This series is officially titled, "Banner Reviews" and are located in my main blog, "Dark Qiviut's Columns" under the "Banner Reviews" folder. Every week, I'll post a review for the new banner that is published by the administration and comment on its strengths, weaknesses, and suggestions to make it work better. The next one won't be published until the next one is uploaded by the technical administrators.

To reiterate what I wrote in my Protocol, I'll only post reviews for each banner that gets posted from now till the future. Past banners won't be reviewed unless it falls under one of these two circumstances:

1. If the administration decides to post an old banner.
   OR
   
2. If the designer of the past banners ask me if I can review it.
   

If it falls among the latter, then you, the designer, must ask me first. I will never ask you nor pressure you to have your banner reviewed. If you want it reviewed, I want your consent on your side first, and I want you to ask me, either via PM or Profile Feed.

But if the banner is a draft/concept and hasn't been submitted for publishing, you're more than free to PM me with the draft so I can comment on it. However, I'll only review it privately, as publishing a review for a draft would be unfair to the designer. Reviews of drafts will never be reviewed under any circumstances on my behalf.

Earlier today, I published my first banner review, which is Cider Barrel's Napping Applejack. You can find it here. Soon, I'll publish a portal showing the collection of reviews, starting from the first one and continuing onward. You'll see it soon after I submit my second or third Banner Review.
