New Banner - in progress

[strangetomato]

I'm working on a new banner, which I've title the "headshot banner" in my working images folder. You can see what I have so far at the top of the page. The focus is on the central characters, who are all roughly the same age. They're all pictured in a pose that I imagine they might take if someone was taking a photo of them.

I really need to play around with the page formatting. It looks okay in Firefox, but it's not great. At least you can see the navigation bar, but I'd love to be able to move that around for better placement. I'll force myself to learn this yet.

Anyway... just felt like it needed a change.

Nervous looks like he needs a hug. *bear hugs him*

Like simonym said, these shots are pretty good at showing their character, which is kinda cool.

Is it September yet? :P

Nervous does need that hug, but he'd probably resist it. Like having his picture taken, touching makes him uncomfortable. Poor guy. He's going to be making some progress soon, though. I'm in the process of fixing up the Specter Estate, which comes into the next chapter.

Thanks. It was a fun little project to get me back in the simming mood (like that was so hard :P).

September isn't too far off. ;) I have some reservations about trying to make the story progress in the right timeline, but I have an idea for dealing with it (oh, so many balls in the air)... I'm going to take a different approach to the events of the YA's senior year. Instead of doing it all sequential and showing what everyone is doing (in recent chapters, it's been slowed down to almost week by week), I'm going to pull back and cover more ground, and maybe devote each part to one character or set of characters, instead of jumping around so much. Hmmm... yeah, that's sounding like a plan.

The next chapter is rearing to go now. :) I'm just waiting for some free time to devote to it.
