Yesterday I worked on creating a torn paper effect using Photoshop for the French website banner. I was able to create one but an issue arose with the banner width. The French department requested a banner that was the width of the browser but the banner I created was of a fixed width. The issue that arose was that stretching the banner distorted the image and creating a tiled background using css did not work either because the alignment of the torn paper was off.

Greg suggested that I tear some paper and scan it in to create a banner that was abnormally wide and then place css style text on top of it. I found that doing it this was easier. After scanning it in and editing the image in photoshop, for the requested colours, I was able to implement the banner. This morning I was able to place the text/links requested in the banner and after doing so I emailed Catherine Caws so that she could look over the template and let me know what the French Department thinks. So, I will be waiting for a reply before I continue with the development of the French Department site. After adding some more documentation to the css file I will be moving back to Agenda web application to continue with my tasks there.

(Also, Greg delivered a mac/usb ergonomics keyboard for me to use which I am doing so right now.)
