This is for everyone to be aware of potentially, but… I noticed in Robert's latest mockup stuff that things like, for example, the logos for partners in the footer have been made to be all 210x60 pixels.
It seems a little strange to me to hardcode this sort of thing in the images when it means for most of them just a large amount of padding on the left and right. I would have thought that the preferable and more flexible approach for all sorts of reasons would be to use CSS. We would just have the logo files with a reliable 2px padding all around or something like that, then set CSS like "max-height: 6rem" and centered somehow, or maybe actually in divs with a class that has a fixed size and then the images would just be set to "max-height: 100%". Then, we could easily adapt everything for all the stuff by just changing the CSS for the div class. Also, this would mean we could reuse the same logo images in multiple contexts. The idea of making multiple versions of the same images with fixed sizes and then needing to recreate all these images if we want to change the design of the layout, that all seems very clunky to me. Of course, I'm not a design professional. But I wanted to bring this up so we figure out best practices going forward. It certainly seems to me that the padding and consistent dimensions in cases like this should be set in CSS rather than hard-set in the image file. Correct me if I'm mistaken about these things… Best, Aaron -- Aaron Wolf Snowdrift.coop <https://snowdrift.coop> _______________________________________________ Design mailing list [email protected] https://lists.snowdrift.coop/mailman/listinfo/design
