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 (800×600, 1280×1024, 1920×1080). 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.

I like the sky background, but I think using a different setting (i.e. on this page the navigation is set in the sky) would be really interesting. Just my $.02.
