Everytime Internet Explorer loads on the computers I use in the computer lab, I get the University of Manitoba Homepage. For the last week, I have been looking at it in dismay but today they added a third banner to the rotation. I really like the three banner. It is a natural picture without noticable Photoshopping. It shows a bunch of University of Manitoba students with the Administration Building in the background. The picture is not brighter than the rest of the page and does not jump out over all the other elements. Instead, it fits into the page perfectly. I love it! (and for those of you looking out your rez windows right now; Yes, those are pigs you are seeing fly!)
Isn’t that dude in the white shirt on UMSU?
Yes and No. He is not on Council but he is a very active volunteer with UMSU. He is also involved with the University as a recruiter with the ACCESS program. The man to the left of him in the picture has a seat on Council as the Board of Governors Assessor. I do not know the other individuals in the picture. I believe this picture was taken at Snowball 7 which was prior to the relaunch of the website. Which fits with what the Director of Media Relations told me when he said that it was his understanding that only students were going to be used on the website.
