Mid-width Hero

Not sure the proper title for this, but here is the problem. The full-bleed hero's are great, when you can art direct the images and get really good photography. The challenge is that some of our sites don't have that option/ability. In talking with Clayton, that has been on of this biggest challenges with his clients in the building. One method he has done to address that can be seen on the dev Mission 360 TV site. It allows the user to upload a basic picture size, but then adds a CSS gradient out to a solid color on the sides. This way you still get the full-bleed visual, but with images that aren't full-bleed quality.

A few examples:

Long term, and in fitting with the new ALPS style, it might be good to not use css gradients and have hard edges.
