Concise explanation of something that constantly is nagging at the back of my mind. Thanks Sometimes it is difficult after spending weeks assembling all the little bits of a scene, and then assembling all these images into a page, to keep in mind that everything has to work together. In my own pages (www.ultranet.com/~jje1) you will noitice that the BGs started out black and have evolved into this deco funk thing. Given a couple of beers I can go on for hours about the semiotic of images. Their interrelatedness is an essential part in, if not the process of story telling, but in creating a "space" where the reader contributes to the flow of the narrative. Thanks very much for sharing
