As I've mentioned it's no piece of art but merely an idea (hence the current look). I agree Tim and all the other ideas as well and it's more or less what I had in mind. Is there someone that could draw a few running kids that I could work from? And don't forget that header image will not have the arrows or the text on it. :P Hannes <blockquote cite="mid:op.urnjlprz4cz0tk@tim-laptop" type="cite"> <pre wrap="">If I could offer one comment... There are perhaps too many children in the image, making it a bit cluttered. Reducing the number of figures, and gradually reducing them in size (from left to right) will make it clearer, and introduce a sense of depth/perspective.

Add the opensource/GNU logo - that needs creativity - it is too geeky for SA schools. might be good to just use the name with an edu-type font Hannes Coetzee wrote: </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">Hi everyone I'm trying to get a theme together for schoolforge.org.za and after a weekend of learning some CSS, PHP and how to use inkscape I still need something decent for the header (the top part) to make the site a little more attractive. The idea I've got is this - <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://i44.tinypic.com/fz6ys0.jpg">http://i44.tinypic.com/fz6ys0.jpg</a> (it's no piece of art). It could have symbolic meanings. For example: The paved road - FOSS paving the way for kids in SA The kids running closer out of the distance - They are coming closer to FOSS The main logo - Something that would represent FOSS in schools If you put all of that together it almost makes sense. Oh and of course a background for the image (in this case the clouds) helps. What is everyone else's view on what the site should look like (colors & decor) and the header image in particular? What would make this site unique and yet attractive? Please share your ideas. The last part is I can't draw, not even a decent stick figure. So whatever will be the final product will have to be crafted somehow. I can redraw and color it in Inkscape or GIMP but I'll need something to work from. Time for more chit-chat between all the masterminds and hopefully we can come up with something attractive.
