I made a few interesting changes. I don't like the way the logo looks... before I had it color screened (so it only shows color in shades of the background color, like the logo and the pic thumbs) and here it's not. which one do you guys like better?
whoops, maybe giving you the pics to see for yourself would help ;)
This is the logo i'm talking about... the samurai head above the pic thumbnails.
The first image. Firstly, I cut the background out of our pictures and cleaned them up as much as I could (some of them still need work, bare with me i'm not an artist or anything, so that kind of thing is difficult for me). hmm, i didn't realize until now how monty python-y that looks, which is perfect for this group ;) i wanted to add something in the background so it didn't look all plain and junk, so i faded out to a lighter color on the top and bottom. that didn't look right just suspended in midair and i hated the idea of doing it across teh whole background, so this is the compromise i came up with. I'm not exactly happy with it, but whatever.
now, for the rest of them:
So, what do you guys think? any suggestions? I think I'm getting very close...
