  Usability test part 1: Vivaveldeke.eu Usability Test | (0)

  This test was performed on a 1024x768 resolution (still the most common used reso at the moment). The first thing you notice is a wall of red, the big logo in the center of the page and the weird navigation on top. Further inspection of the landingpage shows us that there is a horizontal scrolling bar. You can scroll the lenght of the entire site to the right. What's that all about? The navigation on top of the page is made in Flash, but the only animation you see when you hoover over the words is the fact that they turn red. Why use ...

  Typography for the web Design | (0)

  Text and typography have their roots in printed media. Book after book have been written about how to create attractive pieces of printed media . But when these rules are applied for the creation of online media, they are definately lacking. Today, it's a fact that more information is read on screens than from printed media. So, when you finally decide which font to use for your webdesign, you come across a whole bunch of other issues. The first one being the font itself. Is it a font created for the web or is it a conversion from a print design font? Second, you ...
