What site were you using to review and clean up things? If you were on eptexts, which I assume you were given your comments about the background picture, the annotations there were loaded by restoring a backup from production a while back for testing purposes. It will be wiped and replaced with a fresh copy from production when we migrate servers. If you did a lot of work, I guess I can try to rescue it, but it will be very hard to distinguish new work from old work that may now be in a different state on the production server.
Several people have spent a lot of time in the last couple of weeks getting the new design consistent and I would argue against any major changes to it without a very clear plan and consensus on what we're aiming for. There may be some relatively minor tweaks that can be done, such as wrapping an opaque div around the side-by-side text and image so the background picture is, well, more in the background.

I spent much of yesterday with the Annotation Module reviewing student work and generally cleaning up a bit. I have a mixed response to the current visuals. On the one hand they are striking and direct attention to what we are about. On the other hand, they may be too intrusive. I found myself confused at times looking at the text page or the image page: they sometimes look dwarfed by the surrounding background. That may be just me getting used to a new view, or it may be more. Compare the German Text Archive (http://www.deutschestextarchiv.de/book/view/bebel_sozialdemokratie_1895?p=10) where you wouldn't be likely to have such an impression. Wouldl some user testing be helpful?
