I had fun creating the graphics for this.  The photograph was supplied by Frank, along with what the text should read.  I utilized one of my favorite Photoshop tools, the Vanishing Point command, to orient the title text along the highway overpass.  For the title text I used one of my newest favorite fonts, Yanone Kaffeesatz.  I also put some of my jQuery knowledge to work on the site’s behavior, writing a simple .toggle function for the contact button.  Look for 90four.com to expand in the near future!
