Vintage Postcards at the Florida Photographic Collection

I’ve been working on a new header image to replace the stock photo that used to be up there, and I thought I’d go for a vintage look that celebrates our community here in Palm Beach County. I remembered that there is this awesome collection of free vintage postcards maintained by the State of Florida, free for use by anyone who cares to download them. Here’s one of those lucious hand-tinted postcards that were prevalent back 60 or 70 years ago. You can visit the Florida Memories Postcard Collection and do a keyword search to find your own. This is just one part of the collections found at the awesome Florida Memory Project, where you can find all sorts of goodies, including audio files of folk music, timelines of Florida history, and an interactive classroom. Way cool!

I think that this is a great banner gives a very differnt feel to the page. Possibly more welcoming. I might consider a slightly different font color or highlighting effect. I found it a little tough to read.

Yes I agree. Working on the text a bit, but its kind of hard to get it to stand out against the collage.

I love the new banner! I was wondering who did that when I first saw it. What a great idea to make it a vintage look!

Why thank you Laura. You never know where your design inspiration is going to come from.
