Final banner!

One more version
Emilily
I wanted to work on this one a little more before I move on to another approach. What do you think? I am going for something cleaner now, trying to match our theme/style/aesthetic a little better.

The Banner...in progress
Emilily
Here is where I am with our custom banner. (Ignore that weird blue tinge, I think I bumped up the contrast without paying attention to the entire right side of the image. In the final version, you will not be riding into a blue haze, and the lines will be darker and easier to see.)
So here is the banner so far. I do not know anything about CSS, but my hope is that it is like a template, and there will be some sort of placeholder for our banner, so that, once the style sheet is in place, either one of us will be able to update the banner picture when needed, as long as we keep the same dimensions. Maybe if you haven’t had your appointment with Max yet, you can add this to the agenda?

Preview:
Emilily
This was slide number 22 of 41.
I did a bit of image editing to try to make it look old. (It already looked old because the original picture was taken in 1998 with a camera that was made in 1972, so I decided to try and enhance the sort of gritty and deteriorated look rather than hide it.)
Rooftop meeting
That was a LOT of scanning, but I am very happy with my new slide scanner. An unexpected bonus: all the tutorial videos are narrated in an incomprehensibley thick German accent, and you know how I feel about German engineering.

Template test
Emilily
So I made a simple photoshop template to use for three-step projects. Not sure how much we would use it, but the benefits are 1) easy to drop images into and add three brief steps, 2) consistent look and 3) we only have one image added to our media file rather than three, using less of our storage space and delaying the day when we have to buy an upgrade. I’m still testing the appearance of the template, so this is a work in progress.
This is the project template
Well, the first time it was too large, and now I think it is too small…have to find the optimum size, but my laptop battery is about to diiiieeeeee
To be continued…
