I need some help from users in the redesign of the site. I am going to be investing in some images for the site as part of the change of the look and feel. I would like us to have some nice hi-res images to use on the site banner, as well as to replace the fulcrum on the forum home page. I am considering some nice western-style hats or other similar items and some great outdoor shots for the banner of the site. I'd like to get you guys to help me out by identifying some images that are true to the story/movie (if possible), especially for the hats and/or any other objects or things which would make great image additions to the site, as well as some images that say summer in the west. We want brighter colors and less of a "winter feel" here. We'll be adjusting the site colors today in any event.
The site I am spending time on is called Fotolia (
http://www.fotolia.com) but there are others out there if people want to look. If folks want to visit there are start browsing for images and giving some suggested links (after clicking on an image, you'll see a URL box on the right), that would be great. I am not sure if they have an accurate enough set of western hats to choose from (so if there are other images out there that are very high resolution, let me know that too).
The only requirement is that we don't want to "borrow" other people's images. We will pay the necessary royalties so we are properly licensed to use the images as part of the site. As far as all of the great images people have been contributing, I have something special planned for those, so this is a different project.
I figure it would be fun to let everyone jump in and help build and remake the site! You can start at fotolia, but if there are other similar sites you know of out there, feel free to check them out too.
