    text alignment

    Posted on Oct 24, 2009 at 10:48 PM

    Align all text to left, a tiny part in the middle is now aligned center.

    It looks good now with that colorful image on top, but I think you should look at it as (and also upload here) a version where that area is grey. Then it would be easier to see what the design itself is missing (or not).

      Hej Miro,

      The centered text is just for seeing how the typography works. All the text in main content area will be left aligned.

      The header is a slide show where I exhibit some of my work. I made this version online. You can find it here http://ucarmetin.com/demo/02/

      hope the online version would make easier to criticize.

      thanks.

      seems like we commented at the same time. well, the typefaces I used are the following ones:

      Logo: Delicious Menu: Museo Rest: it's a font stack based on helvetica/arial sans serif. You can find it here: http://articles.sitepoint.com/article/eight-definitive-font-stacks/2

      Tack, Delicious was the one I was looking at, it looks really good.

      I was looking at the online version, yes, but there you also have a colorful rainbow image. It´s only that in the future you may have a image of a very white or grey site there and then this design may look very different.

      Oops, sorry, just noticed the carousel with a grey image on top on your site... now I say: consider using some color on the layout, maybe the same blues as in the bottom links.

      I'll flavour the layout with more blue and some icons (particularly, on main content area). hope that would work. We'll see how it'll turn out. thanks.

      Comment about version /03: The header looks really good now, add some weight to the html-headers and I think it will look quite ready.
