So, what do you think? For a long time I’ve wanted to jazz up the header and I love this picture of trees and fog. Very Narnia as she began to awake from the long winter spell. My only concern is the title being difficult to read. I’d appreciate some input. Email me (monicambrand AT earthlink DOT net) or comment here.

feed the curiosity
It looks great, Monica! You did a good job with it.
thanks, cat. I’m think the words need to be white so it’s more easily read.
Looks lovely and very readable! Good choice!

I like it. Have you tried other font colors?
I like it.
not yet.
Doc – my net work admin. – had to go to WORK. can you believe it??
Weird. I don’t see a header.
OK Now it’s there.
I like it. It’s gloomy.
Maybe dark brown letters.
ha. yeah, I like pensive.
I like it … the words aren’t easy to read, but aren’t that hard to read either – if that makes sense!
How about mahogany? The red tones would stand out just enough to make the lettering noticable, but still blend in well with the scene (which I LOVE, incidentally!)
Wow, look at all the comments – LOL. It works. I agree with Marianne tho – You might consider a color tone to distinguish the text on dark grey. The black on the grey tones is challenged for contrast and diminishes readability.
Color theory. Go with red, yellow, or orange. That family of colors comes forward to the reader (in contrast to say a blue which recedes). Something like an earthtone (dirtlike) red or yellow ochre would harmonize with the woods. It could be very close to black with a hint of color to make it stand up a little more.
Of course this doesn’t have to be overengineered and you can leave it like it is. Aren’t you glad you asked LOL.
Kev, we’re working on putting the words on a white background using the Gimp (sp?) tool. Have you used it? Thanks for your artist’s imput. Yellow ochre??
