Hi -

Great! Our basic need right now is some standard toolboxes and elements that we can use on the main page for the fair as well as for the main pavilion entrances.

You'll see a current working template at

http://town.hall.org/expo96/template.html

Colors are a real mess, but you get the basic idea. We have a basic grid with:

Column 1: 100 pixels Column 2: 250 pixels Column 3: 250 pixels

Row 1: 150 pixels Rows 2-6: 100 pixels

The main page has the banner going over the first row. Other pavilion pages would simply have the expo logo (the paint cans), with text next to it (e.g., "<h1>Global Schoolhouse Pavilion</h1>"

I'm going to use a makefile so the sponsor spotlite and the headline areas will rotate every few minutes, bringing in a different sponsor and, if desired, different headlines (e.g., "Visit the whatever").

The toolbox would be on each of the pages. The basic grid would also be the same. If we have more than 5 things to highlight, we put a "More Pavilions" button in the last table element, bringing up an index.2.html file with the additional pavilions.

Do you feel like tackling the expo home page? I can get you Windows metafiles for the expo logo, plus high-quality bitmaps for the railroad image. We're on a bit of a deadline: we open on January 1. I have a professional artist that I've used, but she isn't very computer literate and I wouldn't mind the design being done by somebody we can mail or http things back and forth and iterate on something that works.

BTW, a Cincinnati pavilion would be great!
