I am making a website for a client who prints onto small cloth for companies to use as promotional items. I have my overall layout done, but i have been stuck on how to display information on the individual sections, that come in dynamically. I have the whole website happening on an image of the cloth she uses (flash based). The section i am working on now has to do with ink types, etc. The background image i am using is attached below. I have played around with using smaller cloth images to display text but i just wasnt feeling it. I am open to suggestions on design. I have also looked into making the image not stand out as much (since its a background) but have no tried other backgrounds yet. Anyone got any ideas?
That's a very dominant background. I'd tone the contrast right down, have two more similar main colours (eg, tan and cream), so that it really is a *background* image and not something that obtrudes into the foreground.
Dynamic information could come in as spreading stains on the cloth! Having a different shape of stain for each different item might be nice, too, (although it does up the bandwidth)
More dynamic would be to have the cloth slashed or ripped to reveal info beneath, or using an automatic embroidering device to rapidly stitch out menu items
(There was a Goodfellas pizza ad here in the UK a while back, where a slice of pizza is pulled up from the base, and all the cheesy strands linking the slice with the rest of the pizza spelled out 'Goodfellas'. You could try that with ripping naterial -- although it's a lot more work than the other options)
