Hi Everyone,

http://www.taracleveland.com/clients/inproject-mockup/mockup3b.gif

I've had mixed reports about this design. The client *loves* it, but 
she's had several people look at it and comment that it's too dark. 
It looks fine on my PC screen and almost washed-out on my Mac. But as 
always, on hers and her daughter's, it's much darker. I know for sure 
her screen isn't set correctly but I'm not sure about the other 
people she got comments from. She wanted more opinions, so I said I'd 
ask all of you wise and wonderful people and see what you thought.

The pictures of the children aren't meant to be portraits but rather 
semi-integrated into the design... but can you still tell they are 
kids or is it too dark?

How is the contrast on the menu for you? Is it readable?

I know, I know, it's the web and colours will never be perfect, but I 
am trying to make sure the design is readable and decent for most 
people.

Thanks in advance.

Tara
