The Header is Done

After a bit of trial and error, I think I've got something that I like. Since I was trying to go for the feel of an old pressbook, I used just a couple colors and desaturated the images to black and white. It didn't look old enough until I added a bit of tan (for aging) to the whites and then faded the blacks to a dark gray. I'm fairly pleased with the results:


I'm going to use the green color for the page background and then the light color for the background of the test areas. When you are making your own graphics, you'll want to remember to make it the right size for your templates header or you'll have to make quite a few changes. My template's header is 938 pixels wide, so I stuck to that width with this header image. To get it to show up, just save it as JPG, upload it to the images directory for your BANS template, and rename it to logo.jpg.

Here's what it looks like with the header (and no other template changes):



Ugh! The header is cut off at the bottom, there's a title on the header that I don't want, and the rest of the page is still the default grays. Time for some template changes.
