OK thank you for the many great entries for this project!

We got off to the wrong start with this whole thing -- and info was thrown in which diverted the required theme.

So! Shane has come up with a great basis
[edit] I replaced my original demo version with one that includes the changes Pete requested. This is still very much  an open project. [/edit]

So what we need is just to unblur the aircraft, balance the image and add logo (top left I think) and 2 entry links -- 'Express Members' and 'Main Menu' . Could be buttons or small aviation looking panel.

Link to Shane's PSP file (editable) -- PSP9 file, for Photoshop version, see post below.

So is the page going to be a variation of this image? Or are we still free to come up with some of our own? I have been slowly but surely working on a collage type page in which there are several pictures with the edges bent up, sort of like a scrapbook. Just want to know before I get real far into it and find it was all for nothing.

What you see in that pic is pretty much what Pete is looking for, just with the necessary adjustments he mentioned.

The project is not closed so always interested to see other ideas but Shane's is the closest thing to what I had in mind ... says what the site is about in a dramatic and professional way ....

The scrapbook idea sound interesting .... :)

Thanks

Ok, I will press on with my idea then. Maybe make a rough draft and see how it goes. I have a clear image of what I want it to look like in my head... just need to work and arrange it in that manner. No easy task.

May also play with Shanes image... tho I use Photoshop so I cant use his actual image.  :(

Nice work but looks a little cluttered ... and all a/c should look like they are flying from a centre point ..... :) .. at different distances ...

Thanks  8-)
