Olly: i played around with your css last night using "edit css" from the Firefox web developers toolbar.
i don't particularly like the bricks either but if you made them to be unscrollable i think it would be neater. just add "fixed" in where you're calling that image as background. (i think you have repeat just add fixed after that). also, you could add some background to the paragraphs (pick up one of the light grays from the bricks) and it becomes much more readable. and yes, you need some leading in the paragraphs (spacing between lines) but i think David straightened that out for you. cheers Donna oh, and that block of graphic text in the top-right. you do need to re-do it and you can add leading in it too (at least with PS and I assume other graphic editors). also, that second sentence doesn't exactly make sense, you should try re-wording it. maybe type the whole thing out in Word and play around with it. one other thing --- the "big Neale Marriott" at the top, probably should line its margin up with that graphic text box. and while you're at it, if you're really going to keep the bricks, take out the white in the borders of that image, (and under Artist's Statement) its just distracting. That's all. :) olly wrote: > On 11/19/05, David Laakso <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >>-- The uppercase text in the header is /very/ difficult to read. > > > i agree to an extent - i'll look at it again > > >>-- The color of the blocks of content text(their black-whiteness, not >>hue) would be improved with more lead.
