Time for a change

[SirPercival]

The position isn"t reserved for the Team Champs as such but it is very difficult to frame a picture in that space and the modest me would say we were very lucky with that particular shot.

960 x 200....couldn"t be hard to find a generic APAT shot what could be tweaked in Photoshop.

Why would I want to find a generic branding shot when the perfect shot is currently in place?

Wiiiiiiii - good call Des.

Makes no difference to me if it's last years picture or this years winners  

Blatant brag  

You have to admire the foresight and planning that went into this though... to deliberately sabotage every single team photograph (ie make them appear to have been taken at the bottom of a coal mine during a power cut), to ensure the continued use of the existing picture...

Perhaps because you"d like the website to be relevant and up to date?

Don"t you hate sites with out of date information...I know I do?

How about just a beauty shot of the three medals that can be won?...I"ll have a rummage around Picasa...there must be something.

EDIT: Oops...no need.

Okay, this is making me laugh now.

I"m sure Des is aware that some of the site may need a slight revamp in places, and it is on a "to do" list, but there is a lot going on in the background at the moment (and we were trying to have a quietish month before announcing season 5)

The only real issue I see with the team pic at the top of the forum regarding being upto date is this :-



Now, it"s hardly Des" fault that Sara has decided to change her hair colour (Actually Steve Redfern has gone for the same tone colour, but that"s not an issue regarding the photo   )

[TightEnd]

Class photo that. Good photography

p.s does Paullie D have a death wish?

It"s a hectic week, and he is tweaking the boss"s tail...

In the interests of keeping the peace between last year"s winners and this year"s winners... why not use the photo of the victorious team orange from the first APAT team championships?

Now that was another great pic.

I think it shud be of the NI Team.  Duno y, have no good reason...

tbh - I dnt think it really matter what picture is there.  The one now has APAT logos, a trophy and cheesey grins which seems to do the trick well

You"re missing the point..I am NOT suggesting or requesting that the pic be changed to this year"s winners...in fact I have stated the opposite on a couple of occasions.

All I am suggesting is that the current picture IS out of date and that, no matter how good a branding shot it is, I feel that having the banner shot be current is better than something that is sooooo last year.

End.

Those header spaces are much more about encouraging new traffic to go ahead and join than to showcase anything particularly current.  By default they will be current for anyone new browsing the site.  The cup and medals shot is in use on the home page and those two images are very complimentary.

so adding "2010" would resolve your concern then?

Actually, removing the text as a whole would solve the whole thing

I think I may have surpassed the brief

OMG I think my sides are going to burst.

How about a picture of a pineapple?
