Guardian-Mage Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I have designed the following as a project for a Grade 10 Mi'kmaw Studies Class. The primary audience is High School Students. It is meant to be easy on the eyes and effective. Not Super Cool or High-Tech. I mainly want to know what you think of the colors, links, navigation, etc. I have not completed most of the content, most of the pages aren't even there. Just let me know what you think. http://mikmaw.northernlightstech.com/index.php Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/84360-cross-platform-compatibility-and-design-critique/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBlue Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I have designed the following as a project for a Grade 10 Mi'kmaw Studies Class. The primary audience is High School Students.

I mainly want to know what you think of the colors, links, navigation, etc. I have not completed most of the content, most of the pages aren't even there. Just let me know what you think. http://mikmaw.northernlightstech.com/index.php Well i actually like the color scheme. All through the green colors at the top, dosent match as well as it could with the rest. It isent directly bad, or annoying, but it would look nicer with a more grayish green. I know chosing a color scheme can be hard, its still hard for me! The way i usually go about it, is try diffrent colors in a image manipulation program, such as Gimp. And then basicly just try diffrent colors, and see how they match, then i somtimes create a .txt file and write down all the color codes, and what i want to use them for. Usually i end up, finding even more color scheme ideas in the process. You are doing what i did with some of my first layouts, you seam to waste to much space, i still do it to some degree, as you can see on my website. I cant exactly explain it, i think i might have made my borders to big im my own case. Also, i would like to suggest, Create a margin-left on your paregraphs, so that the headlines stand out more. If you write lots of text, and need more headlines later, then im shure you will find it to look nicer, and be easier to read. Cross Platform Compatibility is a problem, since Ubuntu has a wired font size. Even with the mscorefonts installed, it still looks diffrent then on windows. The only way i got it to render my website correctly, was to lower the DPI settings to 72, and then change the font-size in the browser to compensate. I'd say, design for windows, and then try to fix the minor rendering problems in linux. I dont know if it holds any truth, but i once fell over someone calling the unit of font-size in Ubuntu "Meaningless Gnome Units", now thats funny.

Guardian-Mage Posted January 8, 2008 Author Share Posted January 8, 2008 I had tested on my Ubuntu 7.10 installation and it seemed fine, but I will check again.
