Random question, not sure if anyone knows, but what was the thinking behind having the large graphic at the top of the Heroes website redesign? Does it look pretty? Yes... but it take up half my monitor - what was the thinking behind this? Really interested to hear :)
The graphic designers would answer, but as you can see from the photo they posted they are all out camping and unable to get to a computer at this time...
@Ant - All jokes aside, I feel the same as you about this graphic.
Thanks for the feedback! The intent of the design is to emulate the friendly, conversational nature of our amazing forums. I do understand that it can conflict with the need to get to the content though and have shared that sentiment in the past. I'm sure we'll come up with the right balance in a future update.
I should point out that a while ago we added the hover-based navigation to the Discuss menu in order to provide a more direct way to reach the forums. This was partly due to the feedback we've received about the Discuss home page's design & utility.
Thanks for the reply! I was actually interested because I have had a redesign of my own website recently, and I am thinking that my header image is also slightly too large!
But was interested to find out your opinion, and also to see if there was any deeper meaning to it! :)
Hey Ant, I have a really large image on my website as well and am thinking of changing it next time I redo the site. I really like the look of the big images and it is a popular style right now but it does distract from accessing content.

As always, thanks for being a Hero!
