Headless, i have a question if you dont mind me asking?
Just out of interest, why did you not request better content if you were not happy with the content provided?
When i design, if i cant pull of something with the content provided i explan why and request more.
I do also go out my way to make sure the client is happy, frequent updates and asking for feedback etc..
But thats just me, being new to adult i aim to please.
I like the banners you post above too, nice work on them!
Good luck on sorting this issue out!
