New Update Main banner designed by Mango Himself - 4/13/2006 23:08:02   
Hey guys could you let me know if my site looks good now and I would like to get feedback on the main banner(header) that was designed by Mango Himself

Also I need some tips to convert a 44k gif to a smaller file size and keep the same or close quality. So far I converted the image in jpeg at 15k. I need it less then 10k. By the way Mango excellent job. I wonder where didi you find the people images. I'm not going to get sued, I'm I?

Also People of the Universe can I get some feedback on the font size? Do you guys think is small. Should I go 1 size larger?


Thanks in advance, again everybody

You've got your font size specified in px - you'd probably be better using % or ems so that the text will scale up/down with the viewer's font size settings.

font size is a bit small for me and i suspect others, i would turn it up a notch or two!

can you post a link to the orginal image so we can see it? (in something like tiff,bitmap, png or other easily accessible lossless format.

why does it have to be less than 10k?

Here is the link to the image:

I need less than 10k so the page loads faster for users.

you need to optimise it from an original image (i.e. the full colour one, not a gif) but saving as a jpeg with a bit more compression shuold do it. a quick poke in fireworks gets it under 10k even from your gif

Thank You Overlord, I replaced the image and 5k smaller is an extra second less download time. You know what I mean...:)

No ,don't call him that, he's got delusions of grandeur already without you helping him. :)

I think you'll find that graphics resizing is one of those things that you either have the right tools for or.... you spend most of your life fiddling around and failing with the wrong tools.

I have made the shift from PaintShopPro which I love for designing to Photoshop CS for image manipulation. I use both of them in tandem when working with graphics for the web.

Somebody else, I think it was Chris mentioned the Xara package as being very good at reclaiming size without losing quality. It's also a lot cheaper than Photoshop.
