hey everyone,

I am working on an info intensive site. There will be pictures and text with flash banners etc.. I can never get the kind of 'modern background' that I am looking for (abstract lines etc..) from just using cells in dreamweaver. Is photoshop my best bet for cool backgrounds?

Also, what color mix do you find the best to read from on the web? White background with black text? Let me know and thanks in advance!!!
