Fixing JWS.app: The Hero Image

Last week, we looked at more ways to tweak the nav bar on JWS.app.  This week, I figured that we would move down to the hero image.  The current hero image is dynamically generated based upon a subset of images on photos.jws.app.  It doesn’t look great, though.

I think that we can improve it with a gradient and making the image a background.

The next big question is if the navbar should be visually overlapping the hero image and if the website name should be a little more prominent.  That might need to wait for a future post, though.
