Comps for my website
My comments.. I’m in a process of creating some kind of “rambling” leaves to “crawl” from the logo, but I’m not sure how this will turn out.
In the Gallery page there are just 3 albums, but eventually we will add more and to fit them - cover pictures on those albums will need to be smaller..
I was also thinking about putting the frame around enlarged picture inside of particular gallery..but it didn’t look good (for now)..
Dive Into Accessibility
This advice article is huge! And I believe it was targeted to people who are doing web design/programming on daily bases.. I found it very overwhelming for now, when I just started “to dive into web science”. There is a lot of information what I can use when I actually know what I’m doing, working with or testing all those browsers, that I never had to try before. So I will definitely “dive into this article” later on. Also thinking about dissability brings little bit of complication when websites are created so they can serve all the people. For example, using default look for links, what many of the designers don’t like, will stay as must. It is good if everything has its own title: pages, as well as links and acronyms; summary for tables and adding text equivalents not just for images as we already know but also for image maps - users will benefit if web creator thought about them and did all of this. Author also underlined using relative font sizes and real headers. Making everything searchable – I hope we’ll learn more about this in the class.
Think Outside the Font Box
It is interesting that at some point we can “mix” fonts developed mostly to display and the ones that are good for text areas/in small sizes. This article brings the idea that some display fonts can be used for text and on the other hand, we can do headings with text fonts. With all this, don’t forget to truly examine specific font before it is used for opposite purpose than it was created..
Display font, that is very “decorated” won’t translate into the text size well, but if it is simple, just heavy, it can be used in smaller sizes as well..this reminds me logo(well designed vector type image).. no matter how small we make it it should always be “readable”.
