Kate Bagby, Werk Zeit, 2004, Banner, 96 x 700 pixels. Here is my new site banner. I took a photo of my classroom desk, reduced it and copied it into a new file. Then I created a dark gray background. (I had an orange background before, but came to the conclusion that is was too feminine for my potential audience of 14 to 18 year olds. I used my favorite effects in "layers," which are dropshadow and innerglow.
