I upgraded the graphics to my webpage over the weekend. Check out the new look to the Morgue:

Not bad, though I would suggest that background could be just a bit less dark.

It's a morgue. I think the dark background fits well.Ma Deuce wrote:Not bad, though I would suggest that background could be just a bit less dark.
And this is why you don't watch anything produced by Ronald D. Moore after he had his brain surgically removed and replaced with a bag of elephant semen.-Gramzamber, on why Caprica sucks
I was worried that the picture was too dark as well. Here's what it looked like after I played with it in Adobe PE, but before I added the lighting fx:Darksider wrote:It's a morgue.

I REALLY wanted to use this picture:
but they seem very protective of the pictures on that website, sell prints, etc. I wasn't sure they'd give me permission to use it. I used elements of another picture from another "abandoned buildings" website:
in the final picture. I got permission to use the morgue that I have now from a haunted house website. Here is the original:
What do you all think...should I try to get permission for the actual abandoned morgue picture, and add the open freezer doors to it, or keep what I have?

I suggest a consistent layout. Right now, when you´re on the "home" site and go, for example, to "make up and fx" the "Mr. Poes Morgue" headline flips to a slightly different place.
If you go to "star wars" the headline vanishes completely.
The font in "updates" is different from the font in web design.
In general there´s such a big variety of fonts used making it hard to focus on what exactly is text. On a quick look i counted about 10 different fonts. On a page that size you can easily do with one or two.
But that are a couple of nice photos.
