Hello!!
Cool, I will give this a try. Hope to show you some artworks soon. The
information I have so far is good enough but if you have any ideas or
suggestions, please do tell me.
Cheers!

This sounds like a good idea, although I do think that the
masthead/banner has a large part in the definition of the "look and
feel" of the site. In other words the final choice for the banner is
also a global decision for the look and feel of the rest of the page.
Absolutely true, the artwork drives the rest of the styling... this is
in fact the reason I suggested this approach. Once we've settled on a
cool design concept, as represented by one of the masthead comps, then
(a) we have some momentum, and (b) someone with the right skills +
motivations + access could complete a re-skinning of the site
essentially as an elaboration of a "theme" suggested by the new
masthead artwork. For instance, I have enough design sensibility to
do something like that, but I am not a graphic artist by any stretch
of the imagination, so I could never produce the artwork; I think this
community must have a lot of people like me in this regard, so if we
can get the "creative" aspect done by somebody with actual graphic
arts talent+skills, there ought to be somebody who can take that and
realize an actual redesign :-).
