Argyris
Head-Fi's third most long-winded poster.
I'm still thinking about how to re-imagine mine. I'm probably going to have to try a different idea, or at least somehow find a square picture of the Joker.
I've decided that at midnight GMT, I'm switching to July. 10 minutes to go...
It'd definitely improved. That color catches the ones above it, and the outline around the letters improves legibility. The only criticism now (and there's probably not much that can be done about this, what with those wavy letters) is that the distance between the top of the text and the bottom of the non-obscured portion of the picture is a bit small, so the words kind of fuse with the picture a bit. The middle hump gives the illusion of upward movement, but it kind of looks like the words have hit a ceiling.
It's certainly an improvement, though, and overall I like the ideas you used.
I'm looking at how mine displays with the bars on the top and bottom and I don't like that much at all.
EDIT: Switched back to Sakaki and Maya for now. I'll figure something out later today for the Joker.
