Awww, I lurv you too Diaperbitch.
Actually truth be told you do have the greatest potential as far as
technical skill...you need to develop your own sense of style though,
those people pose photo CD pulls with the quote whoring just ain't
gettin it (of course they might look alright if you had done a better
job of makin em).
Free cl00, assuming the base images have white background, create a
layered image in Photoshop or whatever, on the bottom layer use your
background color, on the top layer have the image you want and set the
layer transparency to like multiply. Then switch to the bottom layer
and do any cut and smudging you need to. It'll produce much cleaner
results than your current method (which leaves a faint white outline
around the person).
Also, you should only use the jpg format where there's a block of
photo (ie no text overlay), otherwise you get a lot of artifacting.
Of course the downside is that if you use PNG on photo areas it'll
result in large file sizes. The trick to do a hybrid, have the photo
block be a jpg and then create the text/quote whore as a PNG with an
alpha transparency (makes the base design slightly more complicated
though in that you have to use jscript browser detection).
Basically IE for Win:
:<div style='filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src=image.png)'></div>
Everything else:
:<img src ='image.png'>
Color scheme is good, although you might want to start experimenting
with more than just monochromatic swatches. You also might want to
consider doing some more prominent shading effects on the sides of
your main panel. Kinda like on the news section of scifi.com:
