Ice Breaker: Contributer Meme

Jun 18, 2008 19:20

So we all know that Minty Apple runs off those who contribute to the community right? Well after I received a message from a member I agreed to try this out. This was an idea by Moonrailed, but instead of being and Icon meme it will be a Layout/profile Code meme! I hope you all have fun with this idea!

hands down one of these best layout communities/makers in my opinion. I adore the color schemes so much. But I only have one complaint: it's like you make your layouts so so small--especially the font--that it just... I don't know. Something about everything being so Utterly minute (which hurts my eyes) deters me from using them. I really really do love them, I just have a hard time adjusting to everything so small. I'd edit the codes myself to make it bigger, but your css is harder to sift through than others. XD;

Don't worry, you're doing great. :)

But I agree with the previous comments, the entries are hard to read (either the size or the contrast). Here's something for you to read over the weekend: http://ilovetypography.com/2008/02/28/a-guide-to-web-typography/

I like the style of the layouts, but I'd like to see some contrast, and perhaps more flexible layouts for us wide screen users! I will use your layouts on occasion, but I often have to darken the colors and enlarge the fonts for my "old eyes"

Your layouts are always very pretty and creative, and if I used Smooth Sailing more then I would certainly use them. The writing often feels a little cramped, however, and it is sometimes difficult to read against the stark white backgrounds.

Not really a fan of your layouts. You need more contrast and more going on in them.

I really like your profile layouts, especially this one, I used it for ages!

Keep up the good work!

Size does matter. I really think you should use http://www.browsrcamp.com/ in order to get out in idea of what your widescreen mac users are seeing. Your text tends to be on the wee side, and yes contrasts is a plus... but you definitely know your stuff, and do an amazing job with everything else. And you profile layouts are exceptional - small fonts on profile layouts actually work better. In general you can improve, but who can't? ;)
