There's a whole lotta red going on here: https://whosonfirst.dev.mapzen.com/theory/

I wonder if there's a pleasing photo (or randomly chosen set of photos?) cropped from the blog post corpus that might use the same space nicely?

Here are a couple of options. The new colors are coming from the style guide. I also looked at the blog posts to see if I could find anything that I thought would fit and that the large majority of images were screenshots from the Spelunker and added that as an option with a little editing. I also wanted to avoid another map to eliminate potential confusion with the home page header or any other interactive map.

Please no massive colour field paintings :-)

Is the big honking header really necessary? Can we shrink it in a local CSS file?

sdombkow commented 7 years ago

Yeah, it could be something like this.

Yeah, the last screenshot feels like it is in the same spirit as stuff like: https://mapzen.com/documentation/
