New Journal Banner

[strangetomato]

Allow me to direct your attention to my new banner. *grins* I changed my page theme and figured out how to use some basic CSS to add my own banner.  I'll have to read up on it to figure out how to refine everything to make it just so (if you know how to center things in CSS, I'm all ears), but it will do for now. I've been thinking about adding a banner like this for a while now, and it feels good to actually do it.

They're quite the ensemble cast, and that's not even half of the characters.

Look amazing! I love how everyone's grouped. It reflects stories and personalities and also leaves me wondering about a couple things. Hmm. I have no idea how you managed to make it look like a panoramic shot, but awesome job!!

Thanks. I'm glad you think so. I was really trying to give a sense of the plots and relationships of the story with this one shot. It's like a little summary of the whole thing. (I'm also wondering what you're wondering about... there's probably a couple of things that I'm suggesting here, for sure. *wink*)

The shot looks panoramic because of the way I cropped it. It's all one photo. I just set them all up on a lot and took the screencap. It was a bit of work to set them up, but a lot less work than trying to put them all together from separate images in the photo editing program.

I can say one of my wonderings lingers on Vidcund and how he's hanging back from his brothers, looking a bit torn. Circe's in the background there with Vali and I get this "poor struggling single mom" vibe she's putting out like a lure.

Yes, that's very observant of you. ;) You're getting the right feeling about that.
