A New Face for PodCamp AZ

Started by brentspore · 1 year ago

I spent some time perusing the site this morning after seeing your tweet on it and I think it looks outstanding.

Top to bottom it has a great look and feel.

To some designers out there, I may have breached etiquette a bit by mixing a serif font for titling (Georgia) and a sans (Lucidia Grande) for body copy, but I thought it would be a nice break for the eyes and help keep sections more separated visually.

I don't think that is breaking etiquette. I do the same on my site.

Thank you! I am always semi-nervous about posting about design as it seems there's always someone that will disagree with you about something or another. I don't by any means consider myself a great designer, but this site was a lot of fun to build. I learned a lot in the process so I feel pretty good.

Glad you agree with my serif mixing idea. There's some very different schools of thought about that sort of thing. Personally, I really thing it makes reading a lot easier. Let me know if you see anything that seems funky, it was a very long night and I'm positive I've missed plenty!

Thanks again!

Great work! I don't do a lot of design work myself, but I know good stuff when I see it. You've definitely created a reader-friendly face for the information.

Someone will always disagree or think they can do better, but all in all its your experience that matters.
