Flower images in web site layouts and design

Anybody who says nature is boring is blind!!! The natural colors brought forth in these images are breathtaking. Nature's production of these vibrant colors bends your mind and your imagination, as no two scenes are even remotely the same. You could look at images such as these for years, and never get tired of them.

Flower colors reflect us and the world around us. They project how we see animate and inanimate objects, and how we judge them. There is even beauty in ugliness if that ugliness is viewed in the right context, and if the right colors are present.  Flowers have a natural vibrant beauty that is enhanced by their natural colors.

No matter what images you have chosen for your production or your web page design, if they have been selected based on your color sense and experience, you can't go wrong. The example below is one way to incorporate natural colors with a message in such a way that both the image and the text draw equal attention. Give it a try!!!





This image has been cut into two parts. For the bottom part of the image, "blending option"= 40% was set (inPhotoshop)

The top part of the image has been placed into cell A. The bottom part of the image is a background for cell B.

The style of the background is controlled by css with "background-repeat:no-repeat".

You can read more about css background properties at http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_background.asp

The green horizontal line below "Lorem Ipsum Consetetur" is a style for the table cell with "border-top: #4B6400 1px solid;"

Note: "Lorem ipsum" is the beginning of a pseudo-Latin text that is widely used by designers as a type of placeholder for text.

Image used for this example: "Pink flower isolated on a white background"


Now for the fun part! Images! Please look them over and see if they inspire you to new heights of creativity.
