Transparency in the Nicer Sky

This is only work in progress. I haven’t code it into the home page yet, but I want to share what I have and ask for some feedback.

Since I want the image to fill the page, I had to think about different monitor sizes and accommodate for it. That’s why I took three photographs and Photomerged them together into a wider view. The green boxes show the range of monitor sizes that could be viewed (800x600, 1280x1024, 1920x1080). I’m thinking about the future as more people move into widescreen as well as a larger resolution (because I know I want to.)

I printed out the original digital layout and traced it on a transparency, so it’s half digital font, half handwriting. The image here made the type look weird, but that’s because I haven’t actually accurately measured the dimensions; these are only estimates.

One of my problems now is to decide whether I should use the same image for all the other pages with the same layout or have different images in different sections, which I don’t mind doing; it would just take a longer time.

Flush.
