Stuck on the Design of This Page - 1/10/2007 4:05:08
Here is one page of my site:
Photos page
I'm stuck...."designers cramp"? LOL I want to re-design the icons that I use as a link or entry to the subsequent photo gallery pages but I don't know what would be a good design. This one looks too big overall. I have to leave room to add new galleries. I'd like to use a little thumbnail to represent the galleries and keep all of them uniform - but as you can see one of them is more vertical than horizontal so that throws it off. I need some new ideas. I did a little search online looking for some photo gallery icons but didn't come up with anything useful. I need icons that I can use as links to the gallery pages. I think I'd like to keep it on the left side like I have it, but I'm not thrilled with this design (the filmstrip is actually a font in photoshop).

Bruce, I'm no pro, but a couple of ideas...
You could shave some vertical space by tightening up some of the black at the bottom and maybe lose a bit of the horizontal whitespace beneath your header graphic.
Also, your Window Seat graphic could easily be proportionally squished to match the dimensions of the other filmstrip thumbnails without losing its meaning. Just don't distort the airplane wing tip that you see outside the window and nobody will ever notice that the window itself isn't quite the right shape. (And for all I know, some airplanes DO have windows that are more squarish than rectangular.)
Also, I like the image of you & your camera, but it does certainly chew up quite a bit of space...

How do you make the little hand appear?
Hi again Bruce, you could try this:
<span style="cursor: pointer;">Contact Me</span>

Sally, that filmstrip is a font called "hourphoto", color is black. In photoshop on a new blank image I simply typed a row then flatten it. it also has a character looking like an actual film roll. just google it and you should find the download page for it.

I did this. And I noticed that the hand does appear but only in IE. When I look at it in Firefox there is no pointer for only the "contact" link. Why is Firefox handling that one different?
I only applied that tag to my main page, here:
My Main Page
BTW, I am making a little progress in the design. I changed that photo page slightly but I also replaced 3 of my photo galleries (frontpage) with flash-based ones - the 2006, skylines, and window views galleries.
