Painty stripe
Posted by Jonas Downey
Jamie taught me how he does painterly stuff in Photoshop so I took a few stabs at some paint stripes for this. Any of these feeling good?
(I'm starting with the existing color scheme so we can look at the style first, and then I'll try other colors.)

Jonas, how would it look if the paint was a cheerful color like green or something?
Yeah I think we need to see this in color to make a call.
Cool, here it is green-ified. Had to switch the arrow to another color, so just went with dark grey for now.

For kicks, here are some alternate pop colors (with the broad-brush version.)

Black arrow works great.
I dig, maybe one of these? (First one's the same for comparison.)

Good call Jamie, these are just in Photoshop right now but I'll definitely do that with CSS.
Here are two slightly different takes on #8 with the dark orange from #20.

Those both looks great.
Out of those I prefer #21, but I still think I prefer #20. I don't feel strongly about it though so someone make the call!
Maybe we can use more than one. This style will show up on the projects blank slate, people, timeline — would be kinda cool if they were different in subtle ways. We'd lose the speed benefit of caching the single image, though.
Let's just go with one for now. Multiple might be a nice detail down the road.
Cool. I'll roll with the broad brush and we can always change it later.
