Nice examples.

I think a site like this would fit in here as well: http://www.danishcrown.dk

Hey Jacob,

Awesome post and equally great examples! Two questions: 1) How do developers get the images to remain stationary? 2) How do designers maintain the image proportions on various screen resolutions (no image distortion)? This is something I’ve been trying to figure out for a while. This post makes me want to know even more now!

I love “Minerva” as its design evokes a certain mystery and makes one feel he is right there in that cold and misty place. Very creative and effective use of design overlay…Thanks for sharing, Jacob.

@Therron James
Looking at the css for the site, it’s pretty simple really:

{
background:url(1200plus/5784.jpg) 50% 0 no-repeat fixed;
color: white;
height: 1800px;
margin: 0;
padding: 0 0 0 0;
}

You can check out the entire background image at http://www.minervastreetwear.com/lookbook/1200plus/5784.jpg

For the minerva logo in the middle, he is just centering a transparent .png.
