Graphic Design
A favourite quote from a graphic arts class at Georgian College in Barrie, Ontario:
"From a jumble of broken glass,
the mirrors of the kaleidoscope create order and form.
It is not the materials,
but how they are arranged...
that is the essence of good design."

Graphic Questions & Answers:
-
What size image should I use for a header for my mindsay page? I suggest 750 x 150-250 . Reason is that the standard resolution is still 800x600 and people do not like to scroll. Make it 750 you are optimizing the image for all resolutions.
-
Is it okay to uses an image for a background? Yes, however, make sure that you can read the text. If people can't read it, then they will not return.
-
What format do I use when creating images that use text? The standard is ".gif" for images with text and limited color and ".jpg" for those with a lot of color such as a photo.

Other than that, I am not sure what you are wanting to do that you did not already do with the Sin City one it looks great. If you just need help getting to it. I would not mind adding some style and graphics to them.
- Kittie page some of the links do not work.
- Kill Bill looks great some link still not working.
- Bdsm looks okay, text neeeds to be easier to read.
- Sex - Text hard to read and some links not working.
- Sin City - Text is hard to read I am not sure if it is the font. Links not working. Looks good though
- Quentin Tarantino - links are hard to read. I do not think the colors match on the psotings.
Okay - well you get my pont. I love the amount of information you added to each one of these. Very usesful and you are getting alot of conversation going. That is great!! Also, wrap the text around the photos to shorten the length of the pages.
oh, and how do you "wrap the text around the photos to shorten the length of the pages", lol?
When you insert the picture there is an option for alignment. If you select left or right it should wrap your text around the photos. You also have a border option in their also.
Is there a simple set of steps for setting up one of these wikis?
