Will put a series of animated panels in two columns on this first page. We anticipate that this will be the main set of pages that people come to on the site. So we want it bright and active and fun. Make this look like the hand drawn notes of a web page. Put a single container with a scanned blank lab page as the background image. Make them up as individual panels in corel. Put a dropped shaddow under each so they look like they are stuck into a lab book.
