   The header has been expanded to span the window and the sub-heading plays with the negative space in the ampersand.

   This link shows the current full page design.

   Comment on this shot or anything in the linked composition.

   Update: Tweaked full page here

   Nice work Matt. I like the the thinner shadow.

   I like the concept, but in the full page design, I think your subtitle is lost because it's too similar in size to the rest of your content.

   Thanks for the positives, guys!

   Chandler, does it change your opinion about the subtitle if I say its ok for it to get lost? It's a community site for people that are also a community in real life, ie - they know who they are and the header is more like a reminder rather than a grab for new users.

   Essentially, I wanted a dynamic header, but I also wanted it to recede so the content would take precedence. In light of that, does the sub-header still feel unsuccessful visually?

   Yeah, I guess it's more legit considering the circumstances. I don't think it's "unsuccesful" visually but I do think that it's a bit tight. I would try and give it a bit more breathing room and I'd even try a sans-serif for the tagline.

   As a second suggestion, maybe try knocking out a thick strip of the ampersand and just placing the text right through it. I would also try uncapitalizing "Apart" so that the tagline doesn't feel so lopsided.

   Just suggestions... good luck broheebo.
