I think adding a "slightly light-dark verlay" would solve it, it would reduce the impact of the images, yet still keep them visually pleasing and give maintain the "human fun factor" on the page. Moving it to the footer may create weird flipover unbalance and reduce the fun factor.. unless we add it to all pages maybe? :D

I'll put together some mockups for the overlays and footer and send them around.

Yes, if we put it in the footer I think it could go on every page (with a myphp option to turn it off).

I'm +1 on it being only on the home page - and for making sure only guaranteed "approved" photos are displayed. We don't want any possibility of someone inserting or replacing a photo with something that would negatively impact the PHP project.

Let me know what you think. Personally I'm leaning towards putting them in the footer, but present on all pages.

Overall, I think it was fine the way it was. But I don't see it it as a big issue. The overall redesign project is great. Chris -- Email: christopher.jones@oracle.com Tel: +1 650 506 8630 Blog: http://blogs.oracle.com/opal/
