Hey, I am trying to think what sort of header image would look better than what I currently have which at the moment is pretty damn simple. Diabetes Forum Would really appreciate some suggestions and ideas if you have any people. Thanks in advance!
I actually quite like the current one you have. It's just the font that's kinda boring. Try more of a straighter font.. not rounded and curvy. Try the font Lane. =) Also add effects to the text, like a drop shadow or something. As per the image, you can have a photo of insulin? I like this image :
Stick to the basics of: Finding relevant quality stock photos about diabetes, blending it all together (make sure the colors fit well together), and using a more bold background for your overall header (a much darker blue like the buttons above your layout). I think it looks dull because it takes a lot of color and does not look "full"
I think the header should be more positive just a needle makes it so negative just my sugestion I don't know what you think about it but you get where im getting at here?
No needles! Having a forum geared towards diabetes, I am sure the people visiting it are sick of seeing needles. Just make it lighter and more upbeat. Maybe something along the lines of this: http://760disc.com/ or this: http://www.spp.pt/ I don't mean steal their ideas, I mean something that feels like one of those headers.
