I m making a tourist website for New York City. What I need is simple; a backround image for the page. Keep in mind that text needs to show up on it. The one i like the most gets 10 points. Thanks
You have to be careful in using pics off the web, especially if you are building a commercial website, that you aren t using someone s copyrighted work.That said, here are some NYC shots that are in the public domain or licensed under Creative Commons (attribution is required), so are free to use:Something that might work at the top of a page:http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:S��Lightening, darkening, or adjust contrast or other properties on this could make a good background:http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:C��Same here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Midtow��Here s something a little different:http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:S��As an aside: Personally I think large background images are almost always a bad idea, because there will always be some readers who can t easily read the text. What might be fine for you to read can be difficult for someone who has weaker vision, or trouble discerning between colors. But of course it s your call.
