Gah, this took me FOREVER! You'd think it'd be oh so easy, but I struggled with the right look, the right feel, struggled with the theme, even though I knew what I wanted to accomplish, it wasn't feasible and I had to come up with a different idea, struggled with lighting (which didn't seem a problem on my work monitor but was a big problem on my home monitor, which had been set at higher brightness and contrast levels due to a dark game I've been playing). I constantly cranked up my contrast and brightness on my work computer to make sure I didn't have ghost images and that things were not overly bright. Then I'd crank them back down to make sur they weren't overly dark. Then I had to decide how to deal with the background. Argh, I was about ready to go over and start banging my head on a wall! But I THINK I finally have the finished image that I want. I just hope when I get home and look at it on my monitor, I don't see things I wish I'd fixed.
