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.

The banner works fine on Firefox 3.0. I usually have trouble seeing banners (I couldn't see the one from simstorytellers for a while), but I have no problem with yours.

I like how all of them look in character, like Johnny's raised eyebrow :D. And because these are head shots, we can now see their expressions clearly, though I also liked how you placed them according their relationships in your old one.

Well, I'm glad to hear that. The formatting isn't perfect, but it seems like most people are able to see it just fine, so that's good enough for now.

Thank you. I was surprised to find so many poses that use the arched brow in some way. It's fun to find new ones for Johnny, since he's develoved that as a personal quirk. :P The other banner was a little better for showing character dynamics, but I did place the portraits in this one to hint at the relationships too. Each character is placed next to others that are significant to them.
