Is my header welcome image good?


What do you think of this welcome header that I am going to use for my new board at RGVforums



EDIT: This is the final version I have settled on. Installed.

Re: Is my header welcome image good?


Yeah, the green hues are random. I should try the skin colors now.

How do you like the format? Should the whole image be linked to register.php or should it be an image map where only the "register today" is linked?


EDIT: I've tried the greens on my CSS, and the image looks terrible. Maybe I should use the blues...

How's this? I like it. (I added effects to the text, btw)



EDIT: Here's som'more tweaking...

Re: Is my header welcome image good?


Thanks. What about now... I edited the first post. That's the one I chose to go with. Do you still like the description with the White-Blue-Yellow text above fading ink look?

What about the word FREE. Should it remain red, be same as surrounding text, or a completely different color?

For posterity, Here are the images side-by-side so to speak.

Re: Is my header welcome image good?


I don't know how to slice. :-/

The green on the last one is the same green from the forum.
Also, I removed the gradient in the bg because it looked
bad in the welcome header division.

Thanks for your two cents!

I would use a map to add links to the appropriate text. Looks to much like a banner add when the little hand comes up everywhere.
